Laughter for Healthier Workplaces

Greeting - Corporate Laughter Yoga Training & Workshop Specialists in the UK | Corporate Wellness & Workplace Wellbeing Programmes, Trainings & Workshops in London UK with Laughter Yoga Expert Lotte MikkelsenThere is a lot to be said about health, wellbeing and laughter.

Many teams, schools and organisations in the private and public sectors enquire daily about workshops to promote corporate health and wellbeing, team building and stress management, in a bid to improve staff retention and lower absenteeism in the workplace.

Laughter Yoga is a proven method addressing all of these pains that many organisations encounter over time, and research from many scitific and medical angles supports the statement that Laughter really is the best medicine.

Over the years UnitedMind have worked with many health-oriented organisations, including, MIND, British Heart Foundation, the NHS, MENCAP, MS Society, Parkinson’s and many other organisations supporting a variety or health-related challenges and conditions.

DSC02579The feedback has been amazing, people enjoy laughing because it boost their immune system and their self-esteem where it is often suffering because of physical or mental health conditions, and sometimes lack of connection and communication.

But Laughter Therapy and Laughter Yoga is not just for organisations working with health, health-conditions, and the public…

In the workplace there are many issues that often need addressing, issues that leave staff members depressed, de-motivated, and feeling disconnected.

Laughter Yoga can be used to tackle stress and conflicts thus creating healthing and more positive attitudes to work and improving team effort and focus.

Often laughter workshops are used for one-off sessions and events, however, there is a growing need and requirement for long-term programmes involving a combination of break-out energisers for conferences, telephone laughter for daily boost, weekly workshops and other setups for the ongoing development of both staff and business.

UnitedMind have a passion for positive change and compassion for the people involved in any change whether it is personal or professional. The large network of Laughter Yoga Professionals who have trained with UnitedMind over the years comes highly recommended and extends the reach of our vision for health and growth through laughter.

Laughter Medicine – back in action!

Laughter Medicine 2007 - Corporate Laughter Yoga Training & Workshop Specialists in the UK | Corporate Wellness & Workplace Wellbeing Programmes, Trainings & Workshops in London UK with Laughter Yoga Expert Lotte MikkelsenThe Laughter Medicine Workshop was introduced first time in St. Albans in 2004 and has since then gone through serious updating and revamping.

Back then I wrote an article about laughing for no reason and reviewing this in fact shows that Laughter Medicine is as relevant as ever.

It is a great 2-hour workshop that can be brought into the workplace as well as be booked by individuals on the scheduled dates.

Laughter Yoga has evolved manyfold over the years and has become a tool for companies and organisations in the context of resilience to change, team building, stress management, improved communication and peak performance. This workshop is a good introduction to a long-term programme for anyone, whether it is for personal development or team development.

Laughter really is the best medicine!
