Joe Hoare is an author and Certified Laughter Yoga Teacher and Ambassador, trained by Dr Madan Kataria, the Founder of the Global Laughter Yoga Movement. He is the co-organiser of the Antalya Laughter Yoga Conferences.

​

He first encountered Laughter Yoga in 1996 and began training in 2002. In the late 1990s, he ran British Medical Association-approved stress management courses for health professionals. Since starting his Laughter Yoga practice in 2002, he has facilitated sessions for individuals, conferences, and organisations on Zoom and internationally.

​

Laughter Yoga for Joy is about "Being Here Now, Joyfully." It is a spontaneous, movement-based, and interactive approach that increases our enjoyment of being alive. Combining high energy with relaxation and stillness, it is inherently light-hearted and playful.

​

Sessions encourage connection, engagement, and creativity within a safely held yet interactive space. Through embodiment, breath, and voice, participants can deepen their awareness and open themselves to warm-hearted, expansive connection.

Sessions are generally more suitable for adults than children, though everyone is welcome and encouraged to participate at their own level.
