Seven Compelling Reasons to Bring Laughter Yoga to Your Business

1. Quickest Way to Reduce Stress

2. Healthy Exercise for Busy People

3. Peak Performance

4. Team Building

5. Motivation and Communication

6. Innovation and Creativity

7. Increases Attention Span in HR Trainings

Quickest way to Reduce Stress: The benefits of laughter yoga can be felt from the very first session. It’s an exercise program which reduces physical, mental and emotional stress simultaneously and brings emotional balance.

Healthy Exercise for Busy People: Laughter Yoga works like an aerobic exercise. Dr. William Fry of Stanford University proved that 10 minutes of hearty laughter is equal to 30 minutes on

a rowing machine. This helps to stimulate heart rate, increasing blood circulation, oxygen

supply and removes waste products.

Peak Performance: At any given time, performance depends upon mood and Laughter Yoga

has the power to change the mood state within minutes by releasing neuro-peptides from the brain cells called endorphins. Science tells us that the brain needs 25% more oxygen than

other body organs. Laughter Yoga increases the net supply of oxygen which helps in optimal performance and boosts energy levels.

Team Building: ‘People who laugh together work well together.’ Laughter Yoga is a powerful

tool that connects people easily. It assists with developing a positive mental attitude, hope and

optimism as well as increases communication skills to help in team building.

Motivation And Communication: For people working in front office, sales, marketing and basically all areas of business, Laughter Yoga helps to bring a smile on their face and generate good feelings.This enhances their communication and motivational skills thus increasing the

client base and customer satisfaction as well as a more cohesive work environment.

Innovation And Creativity: The childlike playfulness in Laughter Yoga stimulates right brain activity, which is the seat of creativity. This helps generate new ideas and new insights for

creative innovation as well as workplace issues and problems.

Increases Attention Span in HR Trainings: The human brain cannot concentrate for more

than 90 minutes. After that the attention span decreases. A short 5-10 minute Laughter Yoga session can provide a great energy boost during long HR training sessions and conferences.

It helps to increase the attention span, enhance learning skills, concentration powers

and potential.

How Laughter Yoga Works

With prolonged intentional laughter one can exhale more carbon dioxide which oxygenates each and every cell of the body and brain. This improves efficiency, mental focus and concentration.

Worldwide Attention

BBC and Google Offices are using it, Oprah Winfrey has tried and said it works, British actor John Cleese endorsed it.

This innovative concept has been widely accepted all over the world and has been written about in prestigious publications like TIME Magazine, The New Yorker, National Geographic, Wall Street Journal, Daily Telegraph and many others.

Testimonials

Laughter Yoga was the perfect team building activity for our team at General Electric Aviation. On two separate occasions, Judi taught a group

of 15 people the many health benefits of laughter and then led us through

a series of laughter 'exercises'. We laughed for the entire session. After

Judi's visit, the team raved about the uniqueness of the activity and of the positive energy they felt from laughing. The feedback was so positive from

the first session; I decided to invite Judi back for our Health Fair.

Judi's passion and enthusiasm about her work gave us our burst of energy

for our work. Her passion translated to an energetic delivery and great engagement with the participants. In both our sessions at GE, there were

a handful of persons who were reluctant to start off, but Judi’s energy

quickly reeled them in.

I would highly recommend Judi for your next company team builder. It will

be a great experience for your team and you won't stop talking or

laughing about it!

Joe Guth, GE Aviation

Thank you so much, Judi. This was one of the best programs we've

offered for our residents. I really appreciate your adaptability to meet our

needs. I look forward to working with you in the future.

Sincerely, Lori Shutrump

Mt. Pleasant Retirement Village

The overall feeling from the group afterward was ‘what a blast’. Most

people said they would have never considered laughing as a way of

exercising. I am certain we may do it again in the future.

Laughing Yoga has been a wonderful part of our Hamilton County DDS “Women’s Health” program for the past 3 years. The visual cues provided

make it not only doable but enjoyable for everyone. It’s exercise hidden in laughter and playful movement. Laughing Yoga is one of the few exercises

that our individuals can enjoy as a group. It does not have strict rules about

the correct or incorrect way to move. It accepts everyone’s abilities.
