Carmela guides Dorothy Morgan, CMT, CLYL in how to adapt Laughter Yoga for work with individual clients.
My goals beyond teaching you the basics of laughter yoga is to offer insightful support and coaching to enable you to develop your own style of Laughter Yoga that works for your own well-being and the health of individuals and groups you will be serving. Most of all, I wish for you to access a sense of joy within and laughter for no reason!
To support you in your Personal Practice, in starting a Laughter Yoga Club, and/or a Laughter Yoga Business, I offer private coaching and email lessons. Please visit my Coaching and Support for Laughter Yoga Leaders and Teachers webpage to learn about these ongoing resources available to you.
I have successfully integrated Laughter Yoga into all aspects of my full-time counseling, consulting and yoga teaching practice. I teach in a variety of venues throughout the Bay Area; in medical settings, in the workplace, at yoga and fitness studios, in eldercare communities, at professional conferences, for spiritual communities and at private celebrations and special events. I also offer individual Laughter Yoga Therapy sessions in clients’ homes and in my private studio space in Petaluma.
This is my calling and it brings me joy to teach and share it with you.
Live Life Loving, Laughing and Learning!
