After successful completion of this course you will be qualified as a Certified Laughter Yoga Leader (CLYL), an internationally recognized certification. As a CLYL, you can lead Laughter sessions in health care and senior centers, social clubs, fitness centers, schools or businesses, and integrate Laughter into your own business practice, instruction, or healing modality.
A unique aspect of this training is a possibility of experiencing a laughter session in the hospital. Due to Teresa’s unique Inpatient Laughter program at the University of California Medical Center, we have been invited to bring our students to the hospital for a first hand experience.
