If you're looking for creative ways to destress for self-care, at work, or any time in between, try this online laughter workshop. In this virtual exercise, your instructor will teach you how to access intentional laughter without leaving it to chance, the next funny movie, or not-so-funny comedian. This online class is especially great for team-building and reducing stress in your workplace.
Evidence abounds that play deprivation and loss of laughter are taking a huge toll on the overall health and well-being of an overwhelmed, burned-out, and isolated workforce. Laughter is known to play a significant role in increasing motivation, productivity, and improved cardiovascular health, while decreasing pain, stress, and anxiety. Most people believe laughter is for leisure time and doesn’t belong at work. Yet, the best time to laugh is when you’re feeling the most pressure and stress.
With a spirit of childlike play, Sarah stimulates creativity with clapping, breathing, stretching, movement, and the most animated laughter you’ve ever shared. Not only does it help to de-escalate stressful moments, turning them into opportunities for collaboration, connection, and growth, it also increases oxygen flow in the body, boosts the immune system, and provides a great exercise workout as it increases overall wellness. You will engage in exercises that will teach you to integrate laughter into your life to reduce stress and also learn the basic science behind laughter and smiling.
If you're looking for virtual team-building activities for your next team bonding event or want to find a way to reconnect with yourself, family, or friends, join this workshop. This vibrant, uplifting, and transformative experience creates a ripple effect of positivity, leaving you with a clear mind, a fresh perspective, and a healthy laughter glow.

Sarah Routman knew just what to do with her MA in adult education: She became a laughter professional. After teaching high school and serving as Executive Director for two non-profits, Sarah became certified in Laughter Yoga and named a Laughter Ambassador by the founder of Laughter Yoga, Dr. Madan Kataria. She is the Founder of ‘Laugh for the Health of It’ and is a sought-after keynote speaker and conference presenter. For over a decade, Sarah has wowed audiences with her expertise, enthusiasm and highly interactive laugh-it-out approach toward event planning, corporate wellness and personal stress management. Whether teaching about laughter, sharing her proficiency in workplace staff development topics, or inspiring creativity, Sarah choreographs an experience that activates childlike play for a vibrant, uplifting and delightful result that has a ripple effect of positivity. Sharing laughter and learning with Sarah becomes a catalyst for personal and group transformation, putting participants in the driver’s seat of their attitudes so they can have the influence and impact they intend. Thanks to her BA in English, and BFA in Photography, she is also the creator of four coloring books, a Laughter Planner, co-author of “The Laughter Book” (coming soon), and included as one of two caregivers, in the recently published anthology of 21 stories of people living with chronic illness, “Can’t Someone Fix What Ails Me?” Sarah is also a published photographer and poet. She never comes empty-handed. She fills her presentations and workshops with creative tools ranging from colored pencils to healthy chocolate, that are fun, engaging, and guarantee a memorable, and personally empowering experience--not to mention a shot of camaraderie in the arm.
