Led by the renowned laughter yoga expert, Lotte Mikkelsen, this training equips participants with the tools and knowledge needed to spread infectious laughter and create positive change in their communities.
During the training, participants delve into the fascinating science behind laughter, exploring its physiological, psychological, and social effects on the human body.

Since 2007 I have been teaching 2-day Certified Laughter Yoga Leader Training and hundreds of individuals as well as some workplaces have trusted me to teach them to share laughter and Laughter Yoga in own lives and on a wider scale.
The vast majority of the Laughter Yoga Leaders in the UK have been trained by me since the first St. Albans course all those years ago. The 2-day Certified Laughter Yoga Leader Training kicks off your journey to more laughter.
You learn essential skills for sharing and presenting Laughter Yoga in a lean and structured way without taking away your own special flavour and personality.
After all we are all different and that is what makes laughter even more appealing as it connects us across our differences.
You learn about what you can expect in terms of your health and wellbeing when you adopt a daily laughter practice and you learn what to expect when you start a Laughter Club.
I love teaching this course, as I become part of the process of renewal every time when the tremendous change happens in each and every person. I am trusted to witness this transformation in the space of these two days and it is touching, moving and inspiring me to be even better than my best.

What a privilege to be Laughter Yoga Master Trainer in the UK.
In 2012 I completed my training and was able to help develop Laughter Yoga Leaders’ skills and bring them to the next level of becoming Laughter Yoga Teachers.
The course adds more than one extra dimension to being a Laughter Yoga Leader. This is the course where you truly up your game and take on laughter for life.
The teacher training is a journey in self-discovery, confidence, sharing, caring, connecting, and planning. PLUS so much more.
The full details for the Laughter Yoga Teacher Training are also listed with my company, UnitedMind Ltd – the Laugher Yoga Training and Workshop Company, which is also where you can book available courses.
After being inspired by numerous methods of teaching and sharing laughter over the years, I introduced the Accredited Laughter Therapist Training to the market in April 2016. This creation has brought immense excitement and enthusiasm.
The course takes a unique approach to utilizing laughter for therapeutic recovery and healing. Laughter Therapy addresses the underlying obstacles, conditioning, and issues that hinder individuals from fully embracing authenticity and integrity in their lives.
While Laughter Yoga focuses on the physical aspects of laughter, Laughter Therapy explores techniques to release control over laughter, tears, and other emotions. This course is designed for individuals who are prepared to handle emotional release and potential reactions from others, going beyond the basics of laughter.
The training expands upon therapy skills, thus providing additional dimensions and elevating the laughter practice to a lifelong commitment. The journey to become a Laughter Therapist encompasses self-discovery, building confidence, fostering connections, caring for others, and strategic planning, along with many other valuable experiences.
To explore further details and book available courses, my company, UnitedMind Ltd – the Laughter Yoga Training and Workshop Company, offers comprehensive information about the Accredited Laughter Therapist Training.
