What an epic Bank Holiday weekend was the Into The Wild festival from 28th-31st August where I felt honoured to present 2 1.5hr sessions of Laughter Yoga to some truly awesome groups of people. A special thank you to the participants of my 2 sessions, where you really threw yourselves into enjoying laughter yoga exercises and games and gave it your all. We raised the roof off the tent with our laughter and cheering!

I love doing laughter yoga at festivals and Into The Wild was just amazing. I can only imagine the number of hours and people-power it took to decorate so many marquees and outdoor areas with such beautiful arrangements of flowers, fruit, feathers, dried grasses and fairy lights. I can't recommend Into The Wild enough where at any given moment in time there will be up to 15 different things you can be doing, from sound baths to qi gong to folk singing to flint knapping to attending talks on mushrooms. Very family friendly with lots for the children.Great music, great people and a great vibe.

A vibrant celebration of world music, nature and community nestled in the ancient woodlands of West Sussex. Where ancient wisdom meets modern creativity — wild crafts, conscious talks, uplifting beats and nature’s embrace. Come as you are. Leave inspired.

Hi all you lovely laughter people. As Unleash Your Laugh goes into its summer break for August, please see below the complete list of all the laughter videos I shared to you last summer 2025. There are so many to choose from! So click on any video you fancy for some laughter yoga exercises ranging from just a few minutes through to a 45min workout. I'll be resourcing some new ones over the weeks ahead for a fresh Summer 2026 selection too so be sure to follow to get the notifications.

Most of the videos on here are from key names in the LY world and each person will have a whole lot of other videos too so if you like one particular provider you can look up their other material.

Happy laughing hoho hahaha!

Just spend a weekend with wonderful playful, up-for-fun, spontaneous and generally lovely people at the Laughter Yoga Teacher Reunion. Lots of new ideas for laughter games! We were at the De Vere Latimer Estate - lovely place with beautiful grounds.

A majestic mansion with an incredible history in the heart of the Buckinghamshire countryside.

What a fantastic time I had attending Solsticefest 2026 18th-22nd June where I delivered 2 sessions of Laughter Yoga to a fabulous group of festival-goers. We had so much fun doing our playful laughter yoga exercisers. This video shows us doing Runaway Lawnmower Laughter. What do you get if you have a laughter-powered lawnmower that takes 3 goes to start it but then goes out of control? Watch the video to see!
I can't recommend Solsticefest enough as a brilliant micro-festival with daytime workshops focussed on wellbeing and natural lore, superb bands playing in the evening, 1-2-1 therapies and stalls selling beautiful goods. There is a shuttlebus service to Stonehenge 2 miles away for an epic night watching the sunset and Solstice sunrise.

I haven't posted in a while but here is some news! I'm super fired up because I will be presenting Laughter Yoga once more at Solsticefest, the Stonehenge Summer Solstice festival at the official Stonehenge campsite. If you are going to Solsticefest then come along at 10am each morning for an hour of fun laughter yoga. If you haven't been to Solsticefest yet I would really recommend it, such a lovely friendly atmosphere. Workshops and activities take place all day with great bands playing in the evening, all included in the camping ticket price. A free shuttle bus from the campsite takes you to the Stones to join 10,000 for the Sunset/Sunrise or an all-nighter to encompass both!

A unique spiritual well-being festival with live music on the main stage across four nights. It includes a shuttle service to Stonehenge

Why not try something new for 2026?

Unleash Your Laugh offers a variety of public classes - both in-person and on-line - where you can try out laughter yoga at little or no cost.

IN PERSON
If you live in or near Worthing, West Sussex, then do come along to Worthing Laughter Club, which meets on the 2nd Saturday morning of each month from 10.30 - 12 noon. The session includes a tea-break with delicious organic refreshments where you can chat with and get to know your fellow laughers. Once you have laughed with someone, you're half-way to being friends! Initial sessions are free of charge, but you must book your place. Our next session is on Sat 11th April, followed by 9th May and 13th June 2026.

Or, you can book a private paid session for your group, club or team anywhere in the SE. Laughter yoga is a great way to ice-break, team-build, relax and liven up your participants.

ON-LINE
Our on-line classes started during 2020 when the world took to zoom. On-line laughter yoga worked so well that we have continued on! Our zoom classes operate on a donation basis including free of charge if your budget is tight.

Wacky Wednesdays meet on a rolling alternate Wednesday morning from 11.00-11.30 for half an hour of laughter yoga exercises. UPcoming dates are 11th and 25th March; 8th and 22nd April.

Silly Saturdays meet on the 1st Saturday of each month, 10.30-11.30am for a full hour of laughter yoga with a different theme every time.

Looking forward to laughing with some new faces! All our groups are very friendly, welcoming and inclusive.

All classes and sessions MUST be booked, by contacting me here on Facebook, by email [email protected] or drop me a text on 07557 932293.
