Sophie Clement is French and has been living in the U.S. for more than 20 years. For the past three years, she has been traveling around the country and internationally, meeting wonderful people and discovering new places along the way.
“I’ve always been looking for ways to help people feel better and live happier lives. Over the years, I explored different paths, including coaching, but I eventually realized that some of them were more draining than fulfilling for me.”
“That brought me back to one of my first loves: Laughter Yoga. I decided to get certified and build a business around something that brings so much joy to me and to others.”
“Today, I have the chance to work with an amazing international team of Laughter Yoga leaders. They are already true Laughter Yoga stars! My goal now is to help them shine even more and bring their energy to people everywhere.”
“Together, we offer online Laughter Yoga classes around the world, spreading joy, connection, and love.”
Discovering Laughter Yoga
“I discovered Laughter Yoga about 15 years ago, during a difficult period in my life. A wonderful woman, who was also a nurse, was offering Laughter Yoga sessions. I was curious, so I decided to try one, and I quickly got hooked!”
“I remember how good it felt to have that moment when I could simply laugh, breathe, let go, and forget about everything else for a while. That experience stayed with me for many years.”
Key Benefits of Laughter Yoga
“For me, Laughter Yoga brings me completely into the present moment. It helps me feel free, be myself, be playful, and simply have fun with other people without overthinking”
“It brings me a lot of joy and mental clarity, helps me release tension, and gives me a wonderful boost of energy. I especially love the connection it creates between people.”
Sophie’s Recent Achievement
“For the past several months, I had the privilege of accompanying a wonderful 100-year-old woman. We laughed together almost every day, and I could see how much it brought her to life.”
“Sadly, she passed away two weeks ago, but that experience had a profound impact on me. It strengthened my desire to bring Laughter Yoga into senior living communities, where so many people need opportunities to feel joyful, connected, seen, and alive.
“Sometimes, a few minutes of laughter, movement, and human connection can bring a little light into someone’s entire day. That is something I want to help create for many more older adults.”
Intentional Laughter
“Laughter Yoga came into my life at a time when I really needed it, and years later, it found its way back to me again. I truly wish more people could discover it and experience for themselves how something as simple as intentional laughter can bring more joy, freedom, energy, and connection into their lives.
“I feel a lot of gratitude toward Dr. Kataria for starting this beautiful movement and making it possible for Laughter Yoga to spread around the world.”
“My hope is simply to keep that movement going – one laugh, one person, and one community at a time.”
