The year has felt as if it has disappeared into a wealth of unfolding, unexpected events surrounded by laughter, joy, grace and gratitude.

As if we simply leapt into a full on adventure in living – and suddenly we are in June.

What happened?

Life will never be the same, but we have said that many times in our lives when changes have fallen upon us, and this year is no different. Except. It has touched us all on a scale that went from my world to OUR Universe.

No wonder many people feel apprehensive, hesitant and lots of other feelings, but inside us all is a spring of unsprung life waiting to go “GEROMINO! Life is still here and it is ready for me and for us!”.

IMG 4423 scaled e1622493844497 - Corporate Laughter Yoga Training & Workshop Specialists in the UK | Corporate Wellness & Workplace Wellbeing Programmes, Trainings & Workshops in London UK with Laughter Yoga Expert Lotte Mikkelsen

In June a new opening will be unveiled as we mark the transition to everything on 21 June.

How will it change? Has it simply been a fanthom idea we have set as a goal post and nothing more than a spun thought bringing us back to reality in a higher (or lower) realm of consciousness?

One thing is certain, there is no separation of camps, or at least there should not be any division, as we all stand together facing a changed future. Unfortunately, there is separation coming our way and it is up to us as individuals to see beyond our differences and unite us all regardless our views and decisions.

We are the peaceful warriors who bring light and love where there is darkness and indifference.

IMG 3173 scaled e1622493825431 - Corporate Laughter Yoga Training & Workshop Specialists in the UK | Corporate Wellness & Workplace Wellbeing Programmes, Trainings & Workshops in London UK with Laughter Yoga Expert Lotte Mikkelsen

With laughter comes great responsibility and a non-judgmental way of living and viewing all life on this planet and in these universes.

So, good folk, sunshine is upon the UK and many other places, and it is time to life the veil of uncertainty, going into the world refreshed, renewed, recreated as if it was on purpose.

Share laughter liberally as with joy comes freedom, acceptance and love.

Wishing you June in your life alongside balance, beauty and joy.

Love, Laughter and Grace

Lotte Mikkelsen – Mental Health First Aider

I feel extremely privileged to have completed my Mental Health First Aid training. Joining the ranks of millions of other people who did it before me and millions to come.

This training provides a great background for understanding and sensing mental health challenges in ourselves and in others.

You do not become an expert overnight, but with compassion and listening skills you have a real chance of making a difference.

I highly recommend training in Mental Health First Aid and firmly belive this should be available to everyone as part of school curriculum.

Soul Sanity – live online classes for mental wellbeing

Soul Sanity - Corporate Laughter Yoga Training & Workshop Specialists in the UK | Corporate Wellness & Workplace Wellbeing Programmes, Trainings & Workshops in London UK with Laughter Yoga Expert Lotte Mikkelsen

Building relationships to support mental health in the workplace and community is rewarding both personally and professionally.

I am excited and grateful to be working with Holly and Soul Sanity in delivering online classes for mental wellbeing and already the clients are booking laughter sessions to strengthen relationships and build resilience.

Soul Sanity launched in 2020 – the year of the pandemic. Interestingly the idea for Soul Sanity came before the pandemic during what I can only describe as a life-changing experience.

Soul Sanity goes on writing:

It all started when a loved one had a tragic diving accident and broke his neck. He became paralysed from the chest down. This as anyone can imagine is life-shattering. Being in my early 20’s and quite naive, the situation was terrible but something I believed as possible to overcome.

Laughter Teacher Training including Online Prep

I hold some very fond memories in my mind and heart from the awesome Laughter Yoga Teachers who have created the training with me since 2012.

There is no doubt there have been challenges, too, but they fade away when the network of Laughter Yoga Teachers blossoms into a unity of trust, co-creation and mission.

The six Laughter Yoga Teachers in the pictures below came to Hemel Hempstead in January 2013 and left with much more than a teacher certificate.

What an awesome week we had at the Laughter Yoga Teacher training. One of the best weeks I've ever had with a bunch of incredible and like-minded people. Lotte, our trainer, was marvellous and knowledgeable and made our week epic.

Lotte held a couple of session at MADE.com HQ for our lovely employees and it was super fun and got everyone laughing - really brilliant. Our team really relaxed into the sessions and helped release any built up tension or stresses from their day to day life. Everyone left feeling energised as well as with a deep calmness. Thank you for working with us and we look forward to working with you again in the future.

I completed the Laughter Yoga Teacher Training in October 2021. The week was very useful, and I learnt a lot. All the laughter we shared not only in the classroom but also outside was amazing. As a first-hand research, I actually noticed a change in my mind and body after a full week with several laughter sessions a day.

Great laughter yoga online leader course! I was nervous at first but Lotte was brilliant - she has a very easy going, warm and engaging style which really helped. The course was super informative, interesting and fun. Everyone in the group really gelled and it was a very rewarding and supportive experience. I can't wait to get involved in more laughter sessions and eventually start running my own!!

Lotte has been very flexible and compassionate throughout the Laughter Leader Training that I attended live online. The experience was wonderful. I felt supported and encouraged throughout. Lotte gives her full attention and provides a high quality level of information and administration. I found the timing to complete the course was just right, and helped me to attend and manage the course. I highly recommend Lotte who has years experience, deep wisdom and humility; willing to share the learning she has gained through Teaching Laughter yoga. I am very happy to recommend Lotte. I look forward to further training with Lotte.

Excellent course which was adapted for virtual learning. Small group so we had ample time to ask questions and practice skills. Learning was fun and practical. I would definitely recommend Laughter Yoga training and it has already been of interest to prospective employers for role in wellbeing and inclusion.
