Summer has been busy with training and workshops along with planning for the next part of 2012, the part where the Laughter Yoga Teacher Training will be run first time in the UK in 10 years!
However, although many new Laughter Yoga Teachers will be spread around the country, there is still a huge requirement for the Laughter Yoga Leader Training from UnitedMind. With the many years of experience UnitedMind add to the training, it is as popular as ever, and the perfect first step towards creating a balanced life with plenty of laughter as well as towards making a healthy living from adding laughter to the portfolio.

Laughing with the MS Society (Multiple Sclerosis)
Since laughing with the MS Society at the MS Life 2012 Event in Manchester earlier this year a number of MS Society branches have contacted UnitedMind and Laughter Professionals around the country in order to add laughter workshops to their annual and regional meetings.
The benefits laughter produces for people living with MS are extra-ordinary and very profound. Even if the physical effects of the illness may not easily be reversed there are numerous physiological and emotional changes taking place when entering into prolonged laughter activities as we do in Laughter Yoga.
Many of the illnesses we combat today can be alleviated through engaging in Laughter Yoga as we laugh for extended periods of time with an unconditional commitment to getting the benefit the activity represents.
Please also read the story behind The Telephone Laughter Club as it relates to facing the challenge of living with MS.
No matter what you are coping with there is a relevance for Laughter Yoga and the true life-changes you start experiencing. The workshops benefit anyone with physical and/or psychological health challenges and people who experience emotional stress and work-related issues.
Please get in touch to discuss the opportunity to bring Laughter Yoga and Laughter Therapy to you and your peers!
Gibberish Communication
Gibberish may sound like a load of gobbledegook just thinking about it and to some extent it is.
However, the non-verbal language we speak in the workshops combined with the physical expression and improvisation techniques makes it a highly evolved tool for improving communication between staff, teams, management, friends, couples, families etc.
Through practicing Gibberish the tension and stress in many situations can be defused and proper communication with a common aim can take place.
The Gibberish Communication Workshop is a certificated 1-day training but can also be organised to suit a corporate team-building, stress management, presentation skills or other event in any workplace. Please also visit Gibberish Communications Ltd.
