Why This Workshop Will Open New Doors For You:

Flexible And Empowering Beyond Your Wildest Dreams

Even though you will learn in this training a standardized and structured program of light laughter exercise, how you apply it is up to you. This is where our training becomes hugely different from others. Regular practice of this method will develop your creativity to levels you may not believe you had in you. We've been there, done that, and even wrote a book on this subject (From Zero To Laughter In 0.5 Seconds). You get to bypass the learning curve at the speed of light!

Note that Laughter Yoga can be learned and delivered entirely as chair exercises. Adaptations have been successful in bringing Laughter Yoga to those with mobility, visual, hearing, and cognitive limitations. We have trained Certified Laughter Yoga Leaders with hearing and also some with visual impairments. Some had cardio-pulmonary conditions. All still greatly benefit and enjoy this program. We have even heard very touching stories where people used Laughter Yoga with their loved ones until their very last days on Earth.

Complete Freedom

When you complete the training, you are independent in how or even if you organize as a business. This training gives you a foundation for systematic, repeatable, appealing and desirable laughter-related programs with healthy values, that leave plenty of room for your personality to shine through with your own creative expression. As such many Certified Laughter Yoga Leaders practice their newly acquired skills or add to their existing abilities as paid speakers, class instructors, seminar leaders, or provide other health-related services that are significantly enhanced with Laughter Yoga. But, there is no financial connection to the American School Of Laughter Yoga nor to the Dr. Kataria School Of Laughter Yoga. When you generate revenue with your laughter programs, it is all yours.

Official Affiliation

The "Certified Laughter Yoga Leader" diploma (trademark of Dr Kataria School Of Laughter Yoga and only official Laughter Yoga certification) will be handed out to graduates upon completion of the workshop. You may then acknowledge your affiliation to both Dr. Kataria's School Of Laughter Yoga and its affiliate the American School of Laughter Yoga, and use our logos in print material.
