- Include short laughter sessions within longer trainings to help participants re-focus and maintain attention.

To support the people they serve:
For example:
- Age care staff supporting residents
- Teachers supporting students (and fellow teachers)
- Health professionals supporting patients
- Disability support workers supporting their clients

Benefits of Laughter Yoga
Laughter Yoga is Sustained Intentional Laughter
It doesn’t rely on comedy or jokes. It’s deliberately initiated as a practice, to produce both physical and mental benefits. And when practiced in a group, it also delivers social benefits.
Mental Health Benefits
Organisations typically choose to train their own people to deliver laughter yoga for two main reasons:
Changes Your Mood Within Minutes
Laughter releases endorphins (‘happy hormones’), so you’ll feel the benefits from the very first session.
Resets Your Outlook On Life
Being playful during Laughter Yoga gives you a new perspective on life. It helps you see that your attitude and your response to situations isn’t fixed, and it offers a better way to handle negative situations, difficult people, and everyday challenges.
Helps Reduce Anxiety and Low Mood
Laughter Yoga takes your mind off past events and future worries by bringing your focus into the present moment. It also provides a positive experience to brighten your day.
Helps Reduce Stress
Laughter increases serotonin and lowers cortisol (‘stress hormone’) levels. It also activates the parasympathetic nervous system, helping the body and mind to relax.
Physical Health Benefits
Increases Oxygen Levels
Prolonged laughter is like a breathing exercise.
Helps Regulate Blood Pressure
Laughter is a light aerobic exercise that works the cardiovascular system. As the body relaxes, blood vessels can dilate and become more flexible, which supports healthy circulation.
Supports The Immune System
Laughter moves the diaphragm, which stimulates lymphatic circulation. This increases lymphocytes and T cells to help fight disease, bacteria, viruses, and cancer.
Helps Manage Chronic Pain
Laughter produces endorphins—your body’s natural pain killers. It’s also fun, which distracts the mind from the pain.
Workplace Benefits
Helps Boost Morale
Happy people feel good about being at work.
Promotes Co-operation and Team-building
Shared laughter helps soften interpersonal tensions and bring people together. It promotes more open, human interaction, supporting stronger working relationships and cooperation.
Helps Reduce Stress
Feel some benefits from the very first session. Excessive stress impacts negatively on productivity, clients, co-operation.
Increases Energy & Focus
A short Laughter Yoga session during a long training day—especially after lunch—can help re-energise participants and restore focus, making it easier to stay engaged and take in new information.
