The American School Of Laughter Yoga is the oldest and largest provider of Laughter Yoga and Laughter Wellness education in North America, and now serves the educational needs of people worldwide. The school was founded in 2004 by Sebastien Gendry, the first American to train as a Certified Laughter Yoga Teacher.

We help people lead happier and healthier lives using laughter as a healing modality and tool for personal and professional growth. We can help you learn Laughter Yoga and Laughter Wellness through a variety of avenues:

• eBooks: lots of exercise ideas & professional session plans
• Audio CDs: let laughter infuse your day
• DVDs & video downloads: exercise and training videos to help you understand and learn visually
• In-person Trainings: learn everything you need to learn to be able to confidently and successfully lead laughter sessions
• Online Trainings: similar to an in-person training (you still need to do and document your homework), only with 4 times more content. Peer-reviewed and validated. Open 24/7/365. Comes with a 30 days money back guarantee.
• Private coaching: Yes you can do it all on your own, and what is the value of your time? The cost of the learning curve doubled with that of lost opportunities is sometimes much greater than we imagine.

What’s Unique About Us

We have very high professional standards

• Sebastien Gendry, our Founder and CEO, has been involved with the worldwide Laughter Yoga movement at the highest level since 2005; He served for 2 years as World Operations Director for Laughter Yoga International and wrote himself as a shadow-writer the very first Laughter Yoga Leader and Teacher training manuals.

We lead the way

We have combined over a decade of experience in fitness and complementary medicine with our knowledge of Western science and Eastern wisdom to create Laughter Wellness, a complete wellbeing workout that integrates Laughter Yoga exercises and the power of breath, movement, sound, cooperative games and more into a well codified and substantiated, low-cost methodology that’s grounded in science and cognitive psychology.

We were the first worldwide and remain the only one in the English speaking world to offer Laughter Yoga and Laughter Wellness interactive online trainings available 24/7/365. This is as close to offering live courses and webinars through the internet or emailing text content, as a paper airplane is to a commercial jumbo jet. www.healinglaughter.org is a world-class interactive e-learning center that 21st century enabled, open 24/7, and loaded with comprehensive resources to help you start your practice right away. It offers a peer-reviewed and validated full education and support system with over 40 hours of professional content that’s designed to grow with you.
