happy newwww year everyone
Hi. Havnt blogged for a while.
I just completed an online laughter training and feeling chuffed so I thought I would share .
I do like the way it was spread out over 5 sessions so this gave time for the participant to absorb it more.
The feedback from her today was
“Laughter training with Manda was a laugh as you would expect.But not only that she helped me get the whole session into my body so that when it came time to do my own sessions with members of the public it flowed really well.I also learnt to let go of my inhibitions, so I was well prepared to let others do the same.Laughter Yoga Training with Manda is more than just instructions it’s experiential confidence building. “
So if you are tempted to train with me why not drop me a line?
