Laughter for You
Certified Laughter Yoga Basic Learning Course
Online | Live on Zoom | 4 Weeks
A gentle introduction to laughter-based wellbeing, breathing, and stress support — designed to help you experience the benefits for yourself first.
This course is the first step in the Laughing Well Training Pathway and forms the foundation for further leadership and specialist training.
Whether you are joining for personal wellbeing, professional interest, or simple curiosity, this course offers a welcoming space to explore the benefits of laughter, breath, and connection.
You do not need to be outgoing, confident, or naturally “funny.”
You don’t have to feel joyful to begin — laughter helps you get there.
What is the Basic Learning Course?
The Certified Laughter Yoga Basic Learning Course is an internationally recognised course from Laughter Yoga International designed to introduce the foundations of laughter-based wellbeing practices.
This course helps you understand:
- how laughter affects the body and supports wellbeing
- how guided laughter practices can help reduce stress
- how breath and playful movement support calm and emotional balance
- why connection and shared laughter matter
It is both practical and experiential, meaning you will not only learn about laughter practices — you will experience them.

A Different Kind of Learning Space
My approach is gentle, grounded, and encouraging.
I know that laughter yoga can feel unfamiliar at first, and many people arrive unsure of themselves. That’s completely normal.
This course is designed to feel:
- welcoming and pressure-free
- interactive but supportive
- safe to participate at your own pace
There is nothing to perform and nothing to “get right.”
The focus is not on pretending to be happy — it is about creating the conditions where moments of lightness, connection, and wellbeing can emerge in a genuine and comfortable way.
Who This Course Is For
This course is ideal for:
- anyone wanting to support their wellbeing
- people experiencing stress or overwhelm
- caregivers, parents, and community workers
- those curious about laughter-based wellbeing
- anyone considering future leader training
No previous experience is needed.
