Unconventional group laughter exercises and yogic deep breathing replace traditional physical yoga postures at this Glenfield practice. Following the method developed by Dr Madan Kataria, sessions focus on simulated and playful belly laughter paired with eye contact and oxygenating breathwork, designed to let natural, contagious laughter take over without relying on jokes or comedy. Alongside local group club gatherings and online sessions via Zoom and Skype, they offer certified leader training weekends with study manuals for those wanting to facilitate clubs or add laughter coaching to professional skills.
Based on Mayfield Road on Auckland's North Shore, the centre acts as a hub for both community club events and nationwide training courses. It stands out in the wider Auckland wellbeing scene as an entirely dedicated laughter-based practice focused purely on mood lifting and deep lung ventilation.
