Certified Laughter Yoga Leader Course

Certified Laughter Yoga Leader course in Lagoa with Sabrina Tacconi, the only person in Portugal qualified to certify Laughter Yoga Leader Trainers and a Master Trainer with 20 years of experience promoting this internationally recognised method. Across two days and ten hours of training, you learn how to lead structured and effective laughter yoga sessions using scientifically based techniques, working with groups across different contexts and developing a personal or professional project with real purpose. This is more than a training course. It is an invitation to transform your life and the lives of others through conscious laughter.

Laughter Yoga was created in 1995 by Dr. Madan Kataria and combines breathing exercises with intentional laughter to activate the body’s natural mechanisms for deep relaxation, stress reduction and immune system strengthening. In Portugal the method is well established and growing, being applied in companies, schools, hospitals, care homes and community projects. By becoming a certified Laughter Yoga Leader you gain the tools, the technique and the credential to apply this work professionally across any of these settings.
