Welcome to the Pop-up Laughter Club!

We look forward to bringing a bit of purposeful laughter to your daily life and provide you with an evidence-based tool to help you develop your personal humour angle. Our program combines exercises from positive psychology and laughter yoga and aims to help you develop a more humorous mindset and a more playful perspective on life. 

We know from positive psychology research that this and laughter can help us cope with stress and life’s daily challenges. It can also help us get more creative and develop alternative ways of approaching situations. Most importantly, we know that it can support wellbeing.
So what do you need to get started? You don’t need a yoga outfit or yoga mats, you can wear anything that is comfortable. Before we get started we want to share just a few things to keep you safe, because let’s not forget: laughter yoga is physical exercise. 

• Make sure you have a bit of clear space around you
  • For example, Look out for trip hazards or things you could knock over like glasses
• You can do the exercises seated,
  
  • but again check the space around you so you don’t hurt yourself or others
• And of course you will laugh out loud, so make sure you are in a space where you won’t disturb others

As a reminder, Laughter Yoga is a physical exercise that makes your heart work harder, your lungs shift a lot more air and requires your upper body to support this movement. That’s why it is important that you don’t do these exercises if you have a cough or cold, if you have a heart condition or a bad back or are pregnant, among other things. 

Once again, please read our disclaimer carefully which explains the counter indications when you should not do laughter exercises or get qualified medical guidance first. If in doubt, ask us first. Because these exercises are recorded, we need to rely on you to be the best judge if you should do these exercises on the day or not. Please be kind to yourself and your body! 

We recommend that you do your laughter exercises daily to establish a habit. However, we realise that situations may change, maybe you get a cold or hurt your back, or you have simply been too busy. That’s ok – it’s what makes this on-demand program so useful. For example, if you have only 15 minutes that day, do the warm-up and as many exercises as you can and skip the meditation. Plus, you have access to the sessions for 4 months. This will give you time to recover and do the exercises when it is safe for you to do so.

However, unless medical reasons prevent you from doing the exercises, we do recommend that you try at least 10min of laughter each day so you can get into the habit of using laughter exercises. As your humour mindset develops, you may also find situations during the day where you feel like a short exercise, even if it is sitting in the car waiting for the lights to turn. If you get an opportunity, take it!

And now, let’s start laughing!! See you in your laughter session – keep laughing and see you soon
