At a laughter club, we'll be invited to join in with some light-hearted games, activities and meditations that encourage natural laughter and playfulness. You'll feel energised and invigorated, and can share conversation over refreshments afterwards with your fellow laughers.

This group is open to all adults who have a willingness to try something new and fun. The proven benefits of laughter yoga include mood elevation, stress reduction, increased energy, emotional balance and increased immunity.
