Building Resilience, Confidence and Calm – One Laugh at a Time
Young people today are under more pressure than ever. And while schools are doing incredible work, the truth is many pupils (and staff) still don’t have the tools they need to manage their mental and emotional wellbeing.
That’s where Laughter Yoga comes in.
I deliver engaging, interactive sessions that teach children (and the adults who support them) how to use laughter, breathing and mindfulness to reduce stress, release negative emotions and boost mood fast.
These workshops are more than just fun. They’re an introduction to a powerful self-care toolkit that builds emotional resilience, body awareness and a deeper connection to joy.
“We had a wonderful, uplifting day with Cat as part of our wellbeing day ‘Live Your Best Laugh’. She empowered the children and staff with a range of engaging strategies, focusing on laughter yoga, affirmations and meditation. We are already embedding some of the strategies into our daily classroom routines and the children are responding brilliantly. Cat was positive, full of energy and provided us with a fabulously invigorating day!“

Why Laughter Yoga Works in Schools
Through a blend of:
- Playful laughter exercises
- Deep belly breathing
- Guided relaxation and meditation
…these powerful sessions teach how to regulate emotions, let go of tension and find calm – even in the middle of a busy day. Laughter naturally dissolves stress, while breathwork grounds and centres the nervous system.
It’s not just good for the children. It’s transformational for staff too.
“Cat is amazing! I first met Cat at the Happy Festival hosted by Fearne Cotton a couple of years ago. I attended a Laughter Yoga workshop run by Cat. I found it so inspiring and refreshing…I invited Cat to run workshops at my school for all the children and staff. She was absolutely brilliant!”
