Laughter Yoga Leader Certification Details
This is a sample outline of the two day training. Some details are subject to change, especially on day two. I will survey those enrolled in the training and focus on the items appropriate to the goals of the participants.
Lunch will not be provided, although there will be some healthy gluten free snacks and various drinks available. There are several places where lunch can be had close by, if you do not wish to bring a lunch with you.
The workshop will take place at my home in north Milwaukie, very close to the Sellwood area of Portland. Directions will be provided once you've enrolled in the training. It is possible to get to the training by Trimet.
