Hello and welcome from me, I’m Lynette Mitchell; I’m a teacher of Laughter Yoga and Spiritual Alchemy and the founder of Laughter For Living.
I work with corporate teams, community organisations, groups and individuals to help them to de-stress and have fun, so that attendees are able to live in deeper harmony with themselves and others.
For 19 years I have been facilitating Laughter Yoga at many types of events and gatherings of people, most which include breathing and mindful meditation. Why is laughing so important? Laughing together is like energy therapy, it creates calm in our bodies and cultivates vitality and energy!
Are you interested in coming to a workshop, which is fun and also connects us with our own positive energy, aligned with personal growth? They run monthly on a Saturday for two hours. Click the event page here.

Ferntree Gully Laughter Club Member Testimonials
We receive very good feedback from people all the time; if you come to laughter club often, you will feel transformation happening in your life. It can be like a reset to what you are doing.
The first time I came to the laughter club, I loved it. The people are lovely, I feel safe to be myself and leave feeling uplifted and full of joy. Although I am a naturally shy person, I am learning to overcome being shy with tools that help me, such as coming regularly to the laughter club. I always wore colours that did not draw attention and only now find myself dressing in more vibrant colours. People comment on how great I look in them which is very nice. I hope that my sharing will encourage shy people to come along too and see what laughter can do for them. Debbie, The Basin

Laughter is free, anyone can do it and the more you do, the better you will feel. Have you noticed how freely our children laugh? Statistically, children laugh between 300 and 400 times a day, as compared with adults 15 – 17 times a day. Laughter has never been more important than it is now because as we grow older, we become serious and lose the beneficial habit of frequent laughter. Laughter gives an immediate release of tension and uplifts the spirits. With regular laughter comes the ability to renew one’s sense of humour and be back in touch with the playfulness of your inner child.
Laughter Yoga brings with increased feelings of joy and we need to be prepared to get out of our comfort zone, to give ourselves permission to be silly and embrace child-like play again. Forget our issues and challenges, allow it to flow, the being silly and spontaneous once again. Come out of that straight jacket and discover a part of you that may have been absent a long while. Learn to laugh again, let go those inhibitions.
Laughter is a Physical, Aerobic Exercise
Laughter is an aerobic exercise and research shows that 100 laughs equals 10 minutes on a rowing machine, which also provides your internal organs with a massage. Deeper breathing oxygenates the blood. Laughter strengthens the immune system, releases feel good endorphins, lowers blood pressure and it also brings people together. Laughter helps us to feel better, to cope with life with enthusiasm and hope. We feel a greater connection with other people, which we believe you would agree, is a ‘good thing’.
Fake It Till You Make It
The subconscious can not differentiate between fake laughter and real laughter. It follows then that in a laughter session, especially with new participants, we begin with pretend laughter. Generally this quickly becomes real, genuine laughter, leading to deep belly laughter. How it is perceived depends a lot on people’s background and conditioning, as to whether it is easy to let go and become involved fairly easily, or whether it takes time and a few laughter sessions. We encourage participants to embrace it as fully as is possible, because the more they do that, the greater the health benefits that are received. This is ongoing, because over time people find it easy to laugh and they take the spirit of laughter with them each day.
