About Leigh Meredith
Certification
Leigh is a certified Laughter Yoga Leader through Laugh-a-YogaŽ in Yogaville in affiliation with Dr. Madan Kataria, founder of Laughter Yoga.Education
Leigh holds a Bachelor's Degree in Sociology with minors in German Studies, Psychology and Religion. She has traveled most of the Western world and appreciates the universal language of laughter. She tried to climb the corporate ladder, got near the top, decided she was miserable, and couldn't remember what all of the buzz words and acronyms meant. So she started trying to help people as a mental health professional and loved it. Now she designs websites and leads laughter yoga as much as possible.Some Personal Notes on Laughter Yoga
Laughter is incredibly powerful, even though it's so simple. Throughout the world - we all start communicating vocally with crying, cooing, and laughing. However, as we "grow up", laughter and crying are also the first two languages we lose, stress out of us, or repress. Laughter Yoga allows those first languages to be "reactivated".I've heard Laughter Yoga classes described as - "A good, long cry that's actually a laugh", "A spiritual oil change", "An internal shower", "A complete blast", "A way to get me back", "Surprisingly powerful", "A great compliment to Nia"... one student reported that the ongoing vibration of laughter cleared her sinus infection.Leigh brings total openness to the classroom, encouraging laughter yet accepting whatever comes. Her support and highly serious silliness inspires you to discover your own inner joy. I felt lovable and optimistic in her presence. And I laughed a lot.
