Session: Laughter Yoga

"Laughter makes you laugh!"

Katrien Meys

As soon as you see someone laugh, you also feel like laughing, your mirror neurons in the brain take care of that.
Laughter is really healthy! Laughter increases the feeling of well-being, increases your productivity as well as your creativity!
Laughter is also ideal for preventing stress complaints and burn-out, because laughing lowers your stress hormone, cortisol.
And because of the production of happiness hormones, you feel really cheerful and happy after a laughter yoga workshop!
You already hear it: Laughter yoga is good for your physical and mental health and fun at the same time!
