Laughter Yoga-Based Mental Health Strengthening Training

This laughter yoga-based training program is distinct from traditional practices because of its structured psychoeducational content. In addition to laughter exercises, it aims to enhance participants' self-awareness, stress management, and communication skills through informative and reflective sessions. Each session began with cognitive and emotional awareness-building activities, followed by physical laughter practices, promoting mind-body integration. Thus, the program offers multidimensional benefits, including emotional relief, cognitive development, social skill enhancement, and strengthening internal coping resources.
