At any given time, performance depends upon mood and Laughter Yoga and the Laughter Wellness program have the power to change one’s mood state within minutes by releasing neuropeptides from the brain cells called endorphins. Science tells us that the brain needs 25% more oxygen than other body organs. Laughter exercises increase the net supply of oxygen which helps in optimal performance and boosts energy levels.

This translates for example into an increase in attention span during sales conferences. Sales Training, or New Product Training Studies have shown that even after just 30 minutes, the concentration levels start to decrease. A brief laughter seminar can provide a great energy boost during a full day of training, meetings or conferences.
