This is a powerful training with the leading Laughter Yoga Teacher in the USA and one of the most senior figures in the international Laughter Club movement [see below].

All over the world Laughter Yoga is becoming known and sought after. Do it on the beach, at work, as part of a seminar, in your health care practice, community or meditation group...start a laughing club anywhere. We need more people who'd love to learn this and share it! The fun and the health benefits are amazing, plus we all know that laughter just feels great! It's easy to lead, anyone can do it, all ages, all walks of life.

This is a 2 day training where you'll not only learn more about how to lead a Laughter Yoga session with a variety of students, but you'll have lots of time and support to practice your skills in your unique way.

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.

Teacher Biography

Sebastien Gendry is the founder and Director of the Laugh Angeles Foundation as well as the American School of Laughter Yoga. A natural born trainer, his approach to health and healing through laughter projects a combination of earnestness, recklessness, adolescence, and mischievousness, and yet has a mature introspection that is much more than intriguing.

An enthusiastic and articulate speaker, he has been featured several times in the national US media (Good Morning America, National Public Radio, Associated Press, CBS News, Telemundo, Celebrity Fit Club, KCAL 9, Los Angeles Times, San Diego Union Tribune, Inspire, and more).
