It was so good to be hosting workshops back at Bestival again this year! Curated by Rob and Josie Debank Camp Bestival takes place in the beautiful grounds of Lulworth Castle and “combines all the fun of a fantastic family camping holiday with everything you’d expect from an idyllic and action-packed festival adventure.”

One of the things I love about Bestival (almost as much as Caravanserai…more on that in the pod!) is that it has an area dedicated to wellness which serves as the perfect retreat space when you need a break from the festival busy-ness.

Slow Motion is THE space to go to if you need a reset, a slice of calm and an opportunity to get an energy boost. And laughter yoga is such a perfect modality to deliver all of this. As well as laughter you can find an array of wonderful experiences such as meditation, gong baths, yoga, sauna and cold plunge and even the most delicious looking hot tubs this year!

What I particularly loved about this episode is it brings the Bestival family vibe as I had my youngest guests giving their thoughts on the festival and laughter yoga and who better to hear it from than kids right?!

If you haven’t been before do go check it out…I can’t wait to bring the laughter energy back next year!

Awwwwwwwww it felt so good to be back at this beautiful festival! Lovingly created by the brilliant Andrew and Ed combining their passion of wellbeing, the outdoors and festivals, Wellness in the Wild is now in its third year and I’m so grateful to be part of it.

Such a thoughtfully curated weekend fully focused on your wellness, it comes as no surprise to me that Wellness in the Wild has been voted one of ‘The Top 5 Wellness Festivals in the UK’ by The Independent.

With over 150 experiences over 10 spaces there really is something for everyone; from a wealth of gorgeous offerings you can enjoy yoga, gong baths, inspiring talks, wood fired hot tubs, wellbeing workshops, incredible live music, laughter yoga (obvs!) and soooooooooo much more.

Set in the stunning Suffolk countryside it’s the perfect opportunity to hit pause and allow yourself to reconnect and reset.

I could only make it there for a day last year as I had other commitments to honour and that was enough to make sure I had the whole weekend firmly etched in my diary this year as I didn’t want to miss any of it this time round.

If you haven’t been before please do check it out. I’ve totally fallen in love with Wellness in the Wild and it’s safe to say next year’s date is already blocked out on my calendar!

Ahhhhhhhh I just LOVE this festival…it really is one of my happy places and every year I go back it just feels like coming home.

Oozing a super welcoming vibe it attracts such a brilliant crowd ready to take some time for themselves to reset and reconnect.

Not only have Fearne Cotton and team created a beautiful balance with the offerings as there is quite literally something for everyone, the setting itself is so thoughtfully curated to enhance the experience.

I was delighted to be back for the third year running sharing laughter yoga and it was such a joy to catch up with familiar faces who keep coming back every year. Such a testament to how loved Happy Place is.

If you’ve never been before definitely check it out…it’s a permanent annual fixture in my diary now!

I’ve been ridiculously excited to share this episode about the Mother of all festivals!!!
Sharing laughter yoga at Glasto was something I wrote in my journal as a 5 year goal in 2020 so to be invited by The Healing Field to host there this year was literally a dream come true.

And WOW did it deliver! The Healing Field is the beating heart of the festival…it’s a very special place. So it felt like utter magic sharing laughter there.
There is so much I could say but instead I’m just going to invite you to dive on in and have a listen.
And as you do feel the magic surround you as people share their experiences.
It’s a beautiful one so be sure to make space for it.

And if manifestation excites you have a listen to Season 1 Episode 1 Laughter Yoga Changed My Life to find out about my journey from staff room to stages.

It was my first time hosting workshops at Midsummer this year and it’s safe to say I will be back next year!

Such a cup-filling, gorgeous festival created by the oh so lovely Charlie Butler. Celebrating the height of summer with workshops, holistic treatments, live music, delicious food options, summertime games and activities and a ceremonial Midsummer bonfire all set in the beautiful backdrop of Sparrows Campsite.

An intimate gathering of good-hearted souls filling the fields with the most beautiful energy; such warmth and vibrancy from everyone attending…I have no doubt it will sell out again next year.

I absolutely LOVED hosting laughter and reiki in the Geodome; a magnificent structure with the most incredible acoustics and energy. It’s worth going just to experience this! All the fabulous souls that joined my sessions helped co-create a very special experience that rippled out through the festival.

Laughter really is the most incredible medicine.

If it’s giving you the feels join us next year. And if you love camping or glamping go pay Sparrows a visit…it’s a firm favourite I’m adding to my list!

Such a deliciously fun time at Wellnergy festival - it was a lot of fun last year but this year it was a whole new level of gorgeousness!

Happening in Wimbledon Park, London, Wellnergy festival offers 5 key areas to explore: Mindfulness, Fitness, Nutrition, Music & Health Optimisation. With a wealth of wellness sessions on offer ranging from breath work, to talks, to yoga, to kirtan, to dancing and everything in between it really does offer a delightful smorgasbord for you to pick and choose from.

This year the festival took place over 2 days as Team Day was introduced - an opportunity to help businesses build happier, more engaged teams. Such a brilliant idea with mental health in the workplace being an important conversation right now.

I had the absolute pleasure of hosting laughter yoga sessions on both days. As always I’m super grateful to all the incredible souls that came along to experience how to use laughter as a resource instead of just a reaction.

Annnnnnnd it was such a joy to chat to the fabulous beings who shared their experiences of my sessions and Wellnergy in this episode.

If you haven’t been before and you love the idea of a day honouring your wellness I definitely recommend checking it out.

THE FESTIVAL DIARIES have landed and I have love love LOVED recording the first 2 episodes.

Such beautiful energy from everyone I spoke to…I can’t wait for you to dive in!

And it feels just perfect to start this series with Mind Body Spirit Festival as it’s THE wellness event that kicks off festival season and is firmly etched on many wellness lovers' diaries as a must do.

It had been a dream of mine to bring laughter yoga to MBS so I was thrilled to get the opportunity last year to host sessions at both Olympia and Birmingham amongst a wealth of experts.

I fell in love with the event and set my sights on delivering a talk from the main stage so it was such a privilege to be part of the main stage line up this year and share my signature talk Live Your Best Laugh.

The incredible Rosalind Moody is the legend that works her magic programming all the sessions for MBS and in this episode we chatted about what Mind Body Spirit festival means to Ros and why this iconic event is loved by so many.

I also interviewed some of my brilliant laughter crew who came along to my talk and brought their beautiful laughter to help amplify the energy.

It’s a great episode that sets the tone for what is sure to be a well loved series.

If you’ve been to Mind Body Spirit festival I’d love to hear what it means to you!
