The current situation can be difficult and stressful – and everyone could do with a good laugh to have a break from their worries. This week’s unionlearn webinar plans to help with a fun and practical introduction to Laughter Yoga.

This session with Laughter Yoga Ambassador Robin Graham and unionlearn Projects Officer Matt Pointon will give people an idea how to regain focus and clarity and reduce worries through a series of gentle exercises using breath, playfulness and laughter.

Topics for exploring include:

• The physiology of laughter and, briefly, the research to support this
• Our perception of laughter, and reflecting on small children’s laughter
• What it means when adults laugh
• Specific times when we laugh
• Inappropriate laughter
• Humour
• A playful technique to deal with challenges (there will be different ideas here in every session)
• Is Laughter the best medicine for me, and how can I embrace it?

Questions will be answered during the discussions, or be used to guide the input for the following sessions.

Wear loose comfortable clothes and find a comfortable place to sit, and remember that this session is based on laughter, so be prepared to be playful, to laugh, and to be just a little silly, so that we can explore how it all feels.  

The webinar takes place on Thursday 11th June at 2 pm and to register go to the unionlearn event page.
