The end of my 8 week laughter Yoga 1:1

Well the end of my Laughter Yoga 1:1 8 week course has come to an end.  Maria has become a very Good friend and although my weekly sessions have stopped, I feel its so important to carry on with the tools I have been given.  How did I fit into daily life this course and would I recommend it to others? just a few questions I have been asked are below:

How did I found an 8 week 1-1 programme and more to the point why you would recommend it to anyone else?

An 8 week programme enabled me to learn at a good pace, and put into practise all the techniques such as laughter, play, breathing into my daily schedule.  I could also reflect with Maria the following week how I had got on, difficulties in my day to day life, and how I could use the techniques to deal with everyday stress.  The more further into 8 weeks I got, the more I used it without thinking.  I would recommend a 8 week programme as it enables you to build up what I call my stress tools :) to combat life's stresses, and to learn how life does not have to be so serious.

How easy it was using Skype?

Skype is a fab tool and so easy to use.  This was my first time using it, but I actually felt that Maria was in the same room :) great when you need to fit it around home and work life.

How easy it was to incorporate into your life

As I say with Skype fitting the sessions in were no problem.  I got together with Maria on a couple of occasion's too which gave a nice variety of lessons.  As for the laughter exercises and the ten minute daily laughter, all you need to do is find that alone time such as in the car on the way to work, in the bath or shower, in the kitchen laughing a the dog...the list is endless. Just read through my blogg and you can see how I manage to fit it in :)

Why you would recommend it to others?

I and most people spend far too much of our life being stressed, fed up, serious, sensible, being told how one should behave...and why? because that's how we are brought up as children, and how daily grind and others expectations make us feel.  When you see somebody laugh how does that make you feel? happy? so why should we not laugh freely and have fun because it is not harming others when we do it, and the feeling I get from laughing is like a breath of fresh air, childlike and free.

Thank you xx
