Laughter Yoga is a great way of enhancing health and wellbeing while having fun. Suitable for almost everyone, it is a combination of playful laughter exercises and deep breathing techniques from yoga (pranayama). There are no jokes, no comedy and no humour - and you don't have to be happy, or feel like laughing, when you start.

Laughter yoga is an exercise programme, it’s not a comedy. Judith the group leader will give instructions, and participants will join in and may sit or stand as preferred and will need to wear comfortable clothing and have access to some water to drink.

Members participating in group exercise activities do so at their own risk and must take full personal responsibility for the decision to participate. They should be confident that they are fit enough to do so.

Laughter Yoga is aerobic exercise and may not be suitable for everyone. For example, it is contra-indicated for people suffering from, for example, uncontrolled high blood pressure, some forms of heart disease, uncontrolled epilepsy, or severe backache. This list is for guidance only and is not meant to be exhaustive. If in doubt do not try it and consult your trained medical professional for advice. Anyone experiencing discomfort while laughing must discontinue immediately and seek medical help. Please use your common sense: no strain, no new pain.
