Host Site Partner Program

Host An Innovative Workshop In Your Community!

“How to Create Therapeutic Laughter and Laughter Clubs”

Did you know that some of your employees could become Certified Laughter Yoga Leaders for FREE? We exchange tuition scholarships for workshop sites. It’s called the host-site partner program.

This program was designed to allow a variety of institutions to enjoy the benefits of cost savings by hosting a 2-day basic workshop to train Certified Laughter Yoga Leaders.

What You Commit To Do

Provide the following:

• A suitable training room / facility for the expected enrollment.
• Audio-visual needs: DVD/TV or LCD projector, turn chart with easel and markers. A microphone may be needed for large groups.
• Refreshments and snacks for AM/PM breaks on day 1 and day 2.

Designate a workshop liaison to work with us.

Assist with PR/marketing support. Your Suggested Event Promotion / Marketing Plan is:

• Share training information with all department heads and community partners. Make this event a community event! We have readily available promotional material you can use.
• Send press releases / contact your local media. There are excellent opportunities for publicity that promotes the host as well as promoting the event because Laughter Yoga is extremely media friendly (amazing audio, great visuals, no strings attached - this is positive news par excellence.) Click here to read how a cancer center got major exposure in Illinois that way.
• Post / promote the event on your website and in your newsletter(s). We'll do the same on our end.

Type of Workshops You Can Host

• Public Workshop - Open to the public
  With this option your workshop is open to enrollment from your staff as well as the general public just as if we were producing the workshop on our own. Students will come from different interests and occupations, lay-persons and professionals. Often, students will come from all over North America and sometimes even from around the world. This international flavor broadens our horizons, strengthens our vision of contributing to a better world, and makes for interesting workshops.
  
  
• Public/Private Workshop - A specified number of places are reserved for your people, the rest is open to the public until the agreed full room capacity is reached.
  
  
• Private Workshop - Your people and nobody else.
  Additional cost savings are possible for the hosts of private workshops. Typical minimum is 10 participants. Normally, the host develops a simple promotional strategy for their private workshop, such as internal e-mail, employee publications, and flyers. Because all students will come from the ranks of the host employees and friends, the American School Of Laughter Yoga does not advertise or promote a private workshop. We will work closely with you to contribute advice on any aspect of the workshop development.

Host Site Incentive Schedule
(applies to Public and Combined Workshops):

• With 10 paid participants, the host site receives 4 tuition waivers.
• With 15 paid participants, the host site receives 5 tuition waivers.
• With 20 paid participants, the host site receives 6 tuition waivers.

Scheduling

• Public and Public/Private workshops: usually need 6-9 months lead time to allow for adequate promotion of the event.
  
  
• Private workshops: can be conducted as soon as there is a mutually convenient date. Week-days are best, and we can do week-ends with sufficient advance notice.

We look forward to running a successful and rewarding event with you!
