EOOver some time, routines and norms become uninteresting such that we start growing gray. Well, laughter resuscitates the heart such that it starts beating again and ignites a positive kick in our lives. Did you know that you can elevate your life with laughter yoga?
In case you’re wondering how true this is? Today, we are honored to have the lovely Alison Orr, a laughter yoga leader and teacher and well-being coach from England. She had done 20 years of being a trainer and manager within the voluntary sector until her life suddenly turned gray.
In this episode, we learn from Alison about how she discovered laughter yoga and how it has elevated her life. She explains a chain of events that led to her discovering laughter yoga as a therapy to her stressful days at work and how she eventually became a laughter yoga leader rather than just a teacher.
Alison Orr had her first laughter yoga session in a pub and found it weird but took a bold step and enrolled for the leadership training, and it put her in a much better place since she would start and end her days off by laughing. Her leadership training groomed her into a consummate encourager who uses humor to engage with her audience to help them be their best versions of themselves.
