The Ferntree Gully Laughter Club Meets:

2nd and 4th Sundays of the month at 11am and at libraries, see below.

The Ferntree Gully Laughter Club has been going for 19 years and is a free community Laughter Yoga club. The laughter club movement founder, Dr Kataria has a motto “World Peace Through Laughter”.  We practice Laughter Yoga, which is a combination of laughter exercises and deep breathing. People who attend regularly take the spirit of laughter with them and find their sense of humour becomes sharper, they feel great, full of joy and energised. It is transformative in people’s lives and we would love you to join us there.

We meet in person on the 2nd and 4th Sundays at 11am behind the Ferntree Gully Library, near the rotunda, 1010 Burwood Highway, Ferntree Gully. In inclement weather, you will find us behind the library, on the decking. It is for half an hour, followed by attending a local café for a coffee and chat.

We meet as follows each month:

Ferntree Gully Laughter Club  11am 2nd & 4th Sunday

Boronia Library  11am 1st Saturday

Rowville Library  11am 3rd Saturday

Ferntree Gully Library  2pm 4th Tuesday

Ferntree Gully Laughter Club

You will find our laughter club to be a spontaneous session, with set laughs as well breaking out into playful fun, in the moment stuff. Each time we laugh, sing and dance as these three help create new brain pathways. Laughter is an aerobic exercise, which is energising and does help one to let go of inhibitions, getting many out of the comfort zone. It’s recommended to give it a good try, come along for two or three sessions before deciding whether to make it a habit, or otherwise.

John’s experience is that he becomes energised and says come along if you agree that getting out of your comfort zone can be good for you. John shares: I love it. Sometimes I go there feeling flat and don’t really feel like laughing and when I finish, I feel great. Yay for the transformational power of laughter!

Here is one for you: My feedback to Lynette was, she brought great fun to all of us. Especially since I have not played as a girl for a while. She reminded us that there was no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ in laughing and playing, as we all knew how to laugh. We forgot as we were held up by other matters only. Thanks for Lynette’s work. Doris Chan.
