My Profile

Lynda was trained as a Drama Teacher in London 1978 and for the past 32 years she has been involved in teaching and facilitating groups in creative pursuits, involving people of all ages from children to adults. She has also organized celebrational gatherings and has been a professional clown.It was late in 2007 when Lynda discovered Laughter Yoga, during a particularly depressive phase of her life. One day, she was sitting googling the sentence Where is my joy? and up popped Dr Kataria and Laughter Yoga International.After reading about the benefits of laughing heartily, Lynda realized very quickly, she wanted to train as a Laughter Yoga Leader.She thought going to India was a bit far to go, and no-one at that time was providing training in NZ, she then discovered Sebastien Gendry, in the American School of Laughter Yoga and did her training along with a three day holiday in Disney Land! Within days of coming back to NZ the first Laughter Club on the Kapiti Coast began and in 2008 she went to Melbourne and trained with Dr Kataria as a Certified Laughter Yoga Teacher.I have never looked back. Laughter Yoga has provided me with a wonderful vehicle to connect with people at heart level. My health, well-being and energy levels have increased. I am a stronger person now, who knows how to bring my body and mind into a place of Joy very easily.
