Thank you so much for a really fun Laughter Yoga session this morning. I was pleased that everyone got involved as I understand it can make us all feel a bit self-conscious to start with! It was great fun and I definitely felt the benefit afterwards. Thank you for your enthusiasm, it was brilliant.

Thank you so much for coming! We had a blast! And such positive outcomes for the staff, especially in how positively they viewed friendships within the group, which is exactly what I was hoping for.

Cannot thank you enough. Will definitely follow up next time we meet as a team.

Warmest regards,

11 October 2018 – NSG Pilkington

What a wonderful day yesterday was.   Thank you so very much for taking your time to come to us and putting up with the mixture of emotions your sessions evoked.  I think once people got over the initial shock, they joined in and you can’t please them all.  But today, the feedback has been brilliant.

I’ve put up some of your posters on our notice boards so that should people fancy taking part outside of the workplace they can make contact to see when/where you do the sessions.

I had some amazing feedback with regards to the laughter yoga session you delivered for the ‘Our Community’ launch. The ladies apparently loved it so much that they were talking about it all over Facebook telling each other that they can’t stop doing their “ho ho – ha ha breathing exercises! You’ve certainly made an impression!
