Research shows that male laughter creates unique neurological responses in group settings that enhance the experience for everyone. However, wellbeing activities often attract more women than men, so we are offering free places to men with the aim to encourage a more gender-balanced experience. Bring a friend and save! Two tickets for just £20 (£12 each when purchased separately). In times when reasons to laugh can seem scarce, this workshop offers a much-needed opportunity to reconnect with joy and each other through laughter. What to Expect: Despite its name, Laughter Yoga doesn't involve any traditional yoga poses or mats. It refers to the powerful breathing pattern that occurs during laughter—where you exhale more than you inhale, similar to Pranayama breathing in traditional yoga. This extended exhalation created during hearty laughter provides many of the same respiratory benefits as yogic breathing exercises. The workshop combines several approaches to bring more laughter into your life: Laughter Exercises: Dive into guided activities designed to elicit natural, contagious laughter without the use of jokes or humour. Games and Interactive Activities: Experience a variety of playful strategies specifically designed to evoke natural, spontaneous laughter. Science-Backed Benefits: Learn how laughter can significantly reduce stress, alleviate anxiety, and boost overall emotional well-being. Immersive Experience: Enjoy a joyful, uplifting session that will leave you feeling lighter and brighter. Playful Engagement: Reconnect with your inner child through playful, authentic exercises. Supportive Environment: The session blends structured exercises with opportunities for authentic joy in a non-judgmental atmosphere. Everyone Welcome: No prior experience needed. This is not a yoga session , so just come with an open heart ready to laugh! Come as you are, leave with a smile. Whether you're looking to boost your mood, improve your health, or simply enjoy a unique and joyous event, this laughter workshop is for you. Don't miss this chance to laugh like never before and learn techniques to bring more laughter into your daily life. Facilitated by Lesley Lyle, Positive Psychologist, World Laughter Yoga Ambassador, author of "Laugh Your Way to Happiness." Lesley was personally trained by Dr. Madan Kataria (founder of Laughter Yoga) in India in 2011 and has been sharing the gift of laughter ever since. Spaces are limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. Don't miss out—book your place now! Article about the benefits of laughter HERE Information Source: Lesley Lyle | eventbrite
