March Musings from Yours Truly

Lotte Mikkelsen - 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

As I am reflecting on life, the Universe and everything I feel hugely grateful for all that this past year has brought with it.

Yes, it has been a stange and in many ways differently-challenging year.

Yet the lessons I believe most of us have taken from these months have been some of patience, empathy, kindness, acceptance, support and perseverance.

There have been losses and joys, and mostly we have come together across nations to help each other through the times when we lost our control of our birthright – the right to choose.

Choice – as individuals and as a team players!

There are still many turns ahead on the path but one thing is clear, we are in it together and together we will be stronger.

Together it is easier to face the isolation and loneliness that can sometimes creep up on all of us.

Be kind, be open, be listening, there are people who go through their ‘stuff’ in silence and no one should be left feeling by themselves regardless who we are.

concentrates - 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

I for one feel I have become an even better version of myself, become even truer to my ideals and ethics, perhaps also less accepting of the things that are not okay, but all in all my heart is open and embracing the fullness of the challenges we face together and by ourselves.

Where did the year take you on this life quest?

Reflection is a way of viewing things in perspective. Reflect with compassion for yourself instead of beating yourself up for what might have been different.

As we have already moved into Spring, opportunites, hope, and vision for our laugh life is paving my path jointly with those of you who have chosen to take on laughter skills for health and happiness.

Thank you for the past year and the years before plus the years to come!

Sending you March mirth and joyous wishes!

Love, Laughter and Grace

Right Up My Podcast

It was such a pleasure speaking with Gwen and Kate of Right Up My Podcast on a Saturday morning with the sun shining on us all.

Here is what the pod is about:

“Exploring some of the lesser-known (and occasionally bonkers) methods of self-care, self-love and ways to make you feel good. Gwen and Kate talk to people about what’s right up their street, then try it out themselves to see if it works. Released fortnightly. Contains bad language and inappropriate laughter.”

And now we have covered Laughter Yoga!

There are many types of podcasts with topics for us all, this one is certainly worth a listen when Gwen and Kate investigate and add their own wisdom, fun and laughter to the conversation.

Alchemising Change in the Workplace

IMG 0715 e1614629966733 - 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

For anyone who consider a Laughter Workshop for fun and enterntainment it may very well be the experience you get.

However, a Laughter Workshop, programme or training is not only about that brief moment of shared mirth.

My workshops and programmes enable long-term change within as well as in the world around us.

Whether I have worked from home or in an environment with my team in person we have always strived for harmonious connections and team abilities that have been beyond simply doing a daily job.

I believe this spirit exists in us all and that Laughter Yoga can be the foundation for the thriving of any team member in any coporation or organisation.

Laughter Yoga introduces you to a way of connecting to your peers as well as yourself in a profound and magnificent way that paves the way for team connection, stress reduction, joing motivation, integrity and enduring change no matter what.

This way of being is a key driver for success in life and at work, without the need for pretence, we simply connect with our inner joy and self-expression.

We become our own Change Alchemist!

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.
