As adults, many of us take life and ourselves too seriously and have forgotten how good it feels to be playful. Having just spent a day with three of my grandchildren I can testify for how awesome if feels to be amongst their energy and sense of freedom.

Engaging in Laughter Yoga is pretty much a daily practice for me and has been since I first came across it in 2009. It has changed my life.

• I feel less stressed as I have laughter as a tool to lift my spirits
• I feel more confident as I am less inhibited
• I am more creative through play.
• My physical and mental health is improved from bringing more fresh oxygen into my body and brain and having a sense of positivity

I love sharing the experience of Laughter Yoga with people, seeing and feeling a transformation in them as they ‘let go’ and just ‘be’.

Having trained over 30 people to become Certified Laughter Yoga Leaders since I qualified as a teacher, I would love to share this skill with anyone who would be interested in training, either for their personal development or to run sessions at club level themselves. Anyone working in the Health & Wellbeing industry would benefit from adding Laughter Yoga to their skills to share with clients.

This short video was taken at a Laughter Yoga Leader training at the beginning of 2020 … I’m sure it’ll give you a giggle:

My next 2-day training will take place over the weekend of 5 and 6 October, in Wordsley, Stourbridge. Have a look at my poster for more details and an opportunity to learn this skill and contact me to request a booking form.

Wouldn’t it be great if you could share the experiences of elation and joy you felt from attending Laughter Yoga sessions with others … your friends, family and your local community.

• Would you know how do set about doing so?

• How would you plan a Laughter Yoga session?

• Would you know how to explain what it is to someone who has never heard of it?

• Would you know why it should be practiced regularly?

• Could you explain why humour, jokes and comedy are not part of a laughter yoga session?

• Do you know what benefits can be gained from having a daily practice?

• What about medical conditions? Do you know what conditions are contra-indicated so you are able to advise a person NOT to participate?

Laughter Yoga is a physical exercise with movement and playfulness together with energizing hand clapping and positive chants. This is all combined with deep breathing, which is known from Yoga practices.

There is more to it than simply laughing. There is structure, medical awareness, research and knowing the history of the Laughter Yoga Movement that started in 1995 and has spread worldwide.

As a Laughter Yoga Teacher who has trained over 30 people to become Certified Laughter Yoga Leaders to enable them to run Laughter Yoga clubs, I offer you the opportunity to join the 2-day training I shall be running over the weekend of 5 and 6 October 2024.

Have a look at the poster attached and if you are interested, you can email at [email protected] or call me on 07565 218567 to request a booking form.

Summer Tour & Pop-up surgery... starting next week! ☀️

I'm pleased to be able to confirm the dates, times and locations of my first Summer Tour of pop-up surgeries across Kingswinford & South Staffordshire.

With Parliament now in recess, I’m really looking forward to getting out and about across the constituency to hear people’s views, catch-up with local businesses and introduce myself to the thousands of residents for who I am your new MP.

I hope as many people as possible are able to pop along, share your thoughts or ask for advice on any problems I may be able to help with.

Details are on the poster below 👇
