welcome!
Join us for a relaxing weekend at Bridge Between the Worlds, full of laughter, friendship and learning! Learn the foundations and everything you need to know to fruitfully lead Laughter Yoga. Let your laughter bring you guaranteed rejuvenation, relaxation and joy. Attending this retreat does NOT require you to become a Laughter Yoga leader. Just come and laugh, or as one leader said, "get blissed."
Why this training?
You're probably going to start small.
Starting a brand new club or practice usually involves laughing with a few people at first as opposed to a large group. If you train with a large group, you won't have the experience and comfort level you need to lead a small groups of laughers. It's more challenging to lead Laughter Yoga with a few people than with a larger group. You'll be ready to do both with ease!
We spend hands-on time boosting your leadership skills.
Practice, practice, practice! This builds your confidence. Laughter yoga is not as structured as classical yoga. Being "in the moment of laughter" while leading a group requires knowledge and practice. The experienced training group provides happy feedback as you learn to lead laughter games and explain the basics of Laughter Yoga. You'll leave shining.
We love the practical.
Marketing? Websites? Announcements? Knowing how to get the word out about your club is key to attendance. We'll brainstorm with you about how to take Laughter Yoga into your niche audience as well as different groups and venues. You'll also receive a free copy of Leigh's eBook, How to Use the Latest Trends to Easily Market Your Laughter Club in 30 Days.
We emphasize collaboration.
We have a powerful tool as Laughter Yoga leaders: we lead others to their laughter, with instant results of relaxation and many stories of healing. Sometimes this "goes to our heads" and leaders become competitive with each other. We strongly emphasize and model collaborative relationships between Laughter Yoga leaders and teachers. You'll leave with new friends and allies instead of competitors - and a wealth of shared resources.
This is going to bring so much great energy into my life and into the lives of others--I am so grateful to know you! Thank you thank you and HOHOHAHA!!!!!!!" -- Estelle Brodeur, Certified Laughter Yoga Leader Training feedback, May 2011.
