When you train with UnitedMind and our approved teachers you have the choice to become an Accredited Laughter Yoga Leader, Teacher or Coach, or Accredited Laughter Therapist.

In addition to the standard requirements for certification on the Laughter Yoga Training courses the following are required for the different courses in order to receive the additional certificate of accreditation.
