Organization - Laugh Workshop: "Laughter Yoga"

Greater Montréal and vicinity, other Québec locations and online remote workshop

Laughter Yoga, a physical approach

In a laughter workshop, laughter is stimulated using physical movement, breathing techniques and games playing with the sound of laughter, rather than through humour. Such laughter is more intense and longer lasting than the usual bursts of laughter in reacting to humour. It is thus possible to reap the full benefits, physical, emotional and spiritual, of whole body laughter.
For more on the nature of laughter workshops, see Laugh workshop: “Laughter Yoga”

Organization of the space

For the active part of the laughter workshop, an open space is required that allows participants to walk around and meet each other to share their laughter. For the relaxation session that usually ends the workshop, participants may lie down if circumstances allow it (with yoga mats, for example), or they may sit on chairs. Persons with reduced mobility may partcipate while seated for the entire session.

Timing:

The laughter workshop lasts for about an hour.

Number of participants

“The more the merrier!” There is no maximum limit to the number of participants. I recommend a minimum of five people, but it is even possible to share the exercises with a single well-motivated individual.

Laughter Yoga is accessible to everyone. Instruction can be given in English, French or Spanish.

Flexible, depending on the number of participants, the type of organization, the available budget, the number of sessions, etc.
