"Fantastic special Laughter Yoga session today with extra-ordinary, compassionate and professional Lesley Hills. This breathwork with mindfulness laughing is holistic in every respect and heaps of fun too" (Deb, Zoom Laughter Participant). "When Lesley rang me to tell me she had a vacancy in her aqua-laughter class I jumped at the chance. I had heard about her classes and as I had been recently diagnosed with A-Typical Parkinsonism I thought these classes may be helpful with my condition. I use a walker to get around, so it was with excitement and a lot of “what the heck am I doing here” I met Lesley and immediately knew this was going to be fun. Before entering the pool, we talked about what I could and could not do and before long we were both laughing’ Lesley was attentive and extremely helpful to my needs and once in the pool her infectious laugh and enthusiasm for making everyone feel relaxed. Lesley explains each movement and voice exercises clearly and why they are of benefit to you and all the while encouraging laughter, breathing and loud voices. It is clear she enjoys her work and believes that she can help everyone who attends her classes. I would recommend Lesley Hill’s Laughter Classes to anyone no matter what age, gender, or physical disability you may have. Whether you attend her Aqua Laughter sessions or her land-based ones you are sure to have fun with lots of wonderful benefits to your well-being." (Denise, Participant in the Aqua-Laughter Program)
"Lesley ran a Zoom laughter yoga session for our C2bMe team. It was intended to teach us about laughter yoga and how we can implement it in our group therapeutic sessions with older people at aged care facilities. She taught us some simple and effective movements then explained the benefits of them to people’s wellbeing. Lesley's infectious smile and vibrant style of teaching enable us to feel relaxed and engaged. She added elements of interaction amongst team members. The nature of our work can be demanding and stressful, so it was a wonderful opportunity for team building and self-care practice for ourselves. It goes to show the versatility of laughter yoga to be suitable for everyone.
I would recommend Lesley to run laughter yoga for your organization." (Hawanatu; C2bMe - Continuing to be Me)
