Love Laughter! Love Life! Ho-Ho! Ha-Ha-Ha!
Thanks for visiting Laughter Love!
I hope you can find everything you need here!
Laughter Love Laugher Yoga (Hasya Yoga) is focused on providing a high quality service and customer satisfaction - I will do everything I can to meet your expectations.
I am a fully certified Laughter Yoga Leader based in Newcastle / Gateshead.
Although based within the North East, I can am able to complete sessions within Cumbria, Yorkshire, Scotland, and occasionally further afield.
(Note: During the Covid-19 pandemic, delivery of workshops and classes has been adjusted in relation to guidelines and safety measures).
Laughter Yoga is a relatively new and unique concept whereby anyone can laugh for no reason by completing Laughter Yoga exercises as instructed by the leader.
There are 4 components to Laughter Yoga:
- Childlike behaviour;
- Yogic breathing (pranayama) - which increases levels of oxygen in the body
and flushes out toxins; - Stretching and
- Laughter yoga exercises.
'Laughter is a universal language, and it is something that all humans are able to do. While handshakes, hugs, and bows all have varying meanings across cultures, smiling is known around the world and in all cultures as a sign of happiness and acceptance. Numerous species demonstrate vocalizations similar to human laughter. A significant proportion of these are mammals, including non-human primates, which suggests that the neurological functions involved in expressing cheer occurred early in the process of mammalian evolution.' [Science News 2001; http://caspar.bgsu.edu]
Laughter Yoga can be used for stress management and can be beneficial for care support groups, dementia groups, day centres and as part of a respite program.
You may also like to try some laughter yoga at home with friends, for parties, group activities, retreats, as well as many more events.
I offer laughter yoga classes and workshops, including corporate team building exercises leading to increase in staff wellness & productivity.
I am also able to offer laughter yoga parties and will be offering parent & toddler sessions soon.
Costs for individuals attending sessions will vary depending upon the location.
For private bookings, please contact me directly.
I hope to see you again here soon!
Check back later for new updates to our website. There's so much more to come.
Ho-Ho, Ha-ha-ha!
Namaste,

"I've been to several laughter love sessions now and thoroughly enjoyed every one. I often have a giggling fit at some point and need a break! I always leave with a big smile on my face. Thanks to Laughter Love :)" - Vic, Newcastle
"Was the most bonkers and uplifting experience! Wave upon wave of genuine laughter that totally worked any tension out of both body and mind!" - Mandy, Newcastle
“Thank you so much Katy. Laughing for an hour and a half solid is powerful medicine – I have been feeling low and sad and exhausted for a few days and your laughter yoga session has just blown all that away, shifted my energy, unstuck me, soothed my inner child, raised my confidence in my life and my Self again and reconnected me to my joy and passion for life, motherhood, my work! And now I have a bottle of ‘squirty laughter cream’ to use every morning getting the kids ready for school....I have been yearning for the chance to do Laughter Yoga weekly ever since I was first introduced to it in 2011 – and now here it is. Very good, very good, Yaaaaayyy!!! Thank you Katy for that profoundly joyful healing through laughter.”
"I attended a laughter yoga workshop with Katy, for birth and perinatal workers. Katy's research and presentation on the benefits of laughter yoga was extremely thorough and incredibly useful. I learned a lot. The laugher yoga part was fantastic, Katy is warm, welcoming and everyone felt completely at ease. So much fun, and felt great afterwards! A fabulous way to get the happy hormones flowing. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Katy's sessions to anyone - perfect for prenatal and postnatal women. Thank you Katy!" - Louise, Yoga Teacher
"Great laughter yoga session." - Laden
"Tonight I spent 45 minutes laughing like a loon...but I genuinely feel so much more upbeat. If you want to put a genuine smile on your face and improve your mood book in for one of Katy's laughter yoga classes". (Shell - New World Travel)
