7 Compelling Reasons to
Bring Laughter Yoga to Your Business
1. Quickest Way to Reduce Stress
2. Healthy Exercise for Busy People
3. Peak Performance
4. Team Building
5. Motivation and Communication
6. Innovation and Creativity
7. Increases Attention Span in HR Trainings
Quickest way to Reduce Stress: The benefits of laughter yoga can be felt from the very first session. It’s an exercise program which reduces physical, mental and emotional stress simultaneously and brings emotional balance.
Healthy Exercise for Busy People: Laughter Yoga works like an aerobic exercise. Dr. William Fry of Stanford University proved that 10 minutes of hearty laughter is equal to 30 minutes on
a rowing machine. This helps to stimulate heart rate, increasing blood circulation, oxygen
supply and removes waste products.
Peak Performance: At any given time, performance depends upon mood and Laughter Yoga
has the power to change the mood state within minutes by releasing neuro-peptides from the brain cells called endorphins. Science tells us that the brain needs 25% more oxygen than
other body organs. Laughter Yoga increases the net supply of oxygen which helps in optimal performance and boosts energy levels.
Team Building: ‘People who laugh together work well together.’ Laughter Yoga is a powerful
tool that connects people easily. It assists with developing a positive mental attitude, hope and
optimism as well as increases communication skills to help in team building.
Motivation And Communication: For people working in front office, sales, marketing and basically all areas of business, Laughter Yoga helps to bring a smile on their face and generate good feelings.This enhances their communication and motivational skills thus increasing the
client base and customer satisfaction as well as a more cohesive work environment.
Innovation And Creativity: The childlike playfulness in Laughter Yoga stimulates right brain activity, which is the seat of creativity. This helps generate new ideas and new insights for
creative innovation as well as workplace issues and problems.
Increases Attention Span in HR Trainings: The human brain cannot concentrate for more
than 90 minutes. After that the attention span decreases. A short 15-20 minute Laughter Yoga session can provide a great energy boost during long HR training sessions and conferences.
It helps to increase the attention span, enhance learning skills,
concentration powers and potential.

How Laughter Yoga Works
With prolonged intentional laughter, more carbon dioxide is exhaled... which oxygenates each and every cell of the body and brain. This improves health and well-being, efficiency,
mental focus and concentration.
Worldwide Attention
BBC and Google Offices are using it, Oprah Winfrey and staff have
experienced it and acknowledge the benefits and British actor
John Cleese endorses it.
This innovative concept has been widely accepted all over the world and has been written about in publications like TIME Magazine, The New Yorker, National Geographic, Wall Street Journal, Daily Telegraph and many others.
Testimonials
Laughter Yoga was the perfect team building activity for our team at General Electric Aviation. On two separate occasions, Judi taught a group of 15 people the many health benefits of laughter and then led us through
a series of laughter 'exercises'. We laughed for the entire session. After
Judi's visit, the team raved about the uniqueness of the activity and of the positive energy they felt from laughing. The feedback was so positive from
the first session; I decided to invite Judi back for our Health Fair.
Judi's passion and enthusiasm about her work gave us our burst of energy
for our work. Her passion translated to an energetic delivery and great engagement with the participants. In both our sessions at GE, there were
a handful of persons who were reluctant to start off,
but Judi’s energy quickly reeled them in.
I would highly recommend Judi for your next company team builder.
It will be a great experience for your team and you won't stop
talking or laughing about it!
Joe Guth, GE Aviation
Thank you so much, Judi. This was one of the best programs we've
offered for our residents. I really appreciate your adaptability to meet our
needs. I look forward to working with you in the future.
Lori Shutrump, Mt. Pleasant Retirement Village
The overall feeling from the group afterward was ‘what a blast’. Most
people said they would have never considered laughing as a way of
exercising. I am certain we may do it again in the future.
Nicole Ball, Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce
Laughing Yoga has been a wonderful part of our Hamilton County DDS “Women’s Health” program for the past 3 years. The visual cues provided
make it not only doable but enjoyable for everyone. It’s exercise hidden in laughter and playful movement. Laughter Yoga is one of the few exercises
that our individuals can enjoy as a group. It does not have strict rules about
the correct or incorrect way to move. It accepts everyone’s abilities.
Peggy Genis, Hamilton County DD
Thank you for bringing your laughter yoga to our offsite meeting last week.
The feedback was fantastic and everyone truly enjoyed themselves. Thanks
for really showing us there is laughter in everything.
Brooke Alper, TIAA
Participating in Judi Winall's Laughter Yoga session was an absolute joy. Though at the surface level the exercises appear a bit outside the box, the
inner life that one experiences while in practice is the true reward. After completing the session, I felt calm, grounded and laser-focused. Judi was thoughtful and kind in her approach and had a wonderful sense of play.
This is a great exercise for those open to exploring and discovering
what's outside the box.
