Description

Reconnect with joy: a laughter yoga session on Réunion Island. A one-hour session of intentional laughter guided by Mélissa to release stress, oxygenate and connect.

Description

Immerse yourself in a joyful and caring moment dedicated to the release of laughter! A 100% accessible Laughter Yoga workshop: no yoga postures, no flexibility required.

Laughter Yoga invites you to laugh for no reason - an intentional (simulated) and contagious laugh, nurtured by conscious breathing and simple, gentle movements.... that turn into spontaneous laughter.

The main objective:

Letting go, to release tension, regain lightness and cultivate joy, by releasing the happy hormones we all need on a daily basis.

Laughing regularly is essential for our physical, mental and emotional health. This workshop is aimed at all audiences: businesses, individuals, health establishments, institutions, schools, groups of friends or family....

What is Laughter Yoga?

Laughter Yoga is a playful method that combines breathing, open-ended games and guided laughter to trigger the natural mechanisms of well-being (release of endorphins, release of tension, group cohesion).
There are no jokes, no humour, no performance: you laugh voluntarily, and your body and mind follow.

Accessible to everyone, this session creates a space of lightness, connection and shared well-being, where you don't have to prove anything, just let the joy flow.

Course (≈ 1h)

• Introduction & breathing (10 min) - getting into shape, breathing, safety.
• Opening / Ice-breaker (5 min) - breaking the ice, creating connection.
• Guided laughter (≈ 25 min) - themed sequences, forced laughter → spontaneous laughter.
• Time for "extended laughter" (≈ 10 min, if possible) - deep relaxation.
• Mindfulness meditation (≈ 15 min) - refocusing, integration.
• exchange and sharing (≈ 5 min) - feedback, anchoring the positive.
• Flexible programme depending on space, timing and your objectives (e.g. company seminar, QVT day, beneficiaries, employees, EVJF/EVG, baby shower, birthday, adults, children, seniors...).
