I discovered laughter wellness and Laughter Yoga at the time I was seeking holistic aids for my emotional distress and physical pain. I was hooked from the minute I started practising! I was truly amazed about the positive impact laughter had on my health. So much that I wanted to inspire and motivate others to bring more laughter into their lives and this inner desire led me to graduate with distinction in Laughter Therapy through the Centre of Excellence. I also became a certified Laughter Facilitator and was trained as a Laughter Yoga Leader under the guidance of Lotte Mikkelsen, Laughter Ambassador and Laughter Yoga Master Trainer in the UK. Passionate for personal growth, I practise breathwork and meditation as well, which perfectly complement my regular laughter routine. So naturally I continued my training by qualifying in running meditation groups, and I am currently working towards a Meditation Teacher accreditation and a Breathwork Instructor certification. After the loss of my job in an animal rescue hospital in 2020 due to Covid 19, I made the decision to devote my time promoting the benefits of laughter, and the power of meditation and breath. I recently set up my business "Nurturapy" where I offer online Laughter Yoga group classes with some combined with meditation. I am bilingual in French and English, and can deliver them in either language depending on the audience. In the future, I plan to deliver Laughter Yoga and breathwork combined classes (once certified), offer one-to-one laughter sessions, and create and run laughter wellness workshops in the workplace for charities and corporate organisations. Come and join me, let's laugh, breathe and meditate together! Ha ha! For more information or if you wish to book a class, visit my Facebook page @nurturapylaughter or email me directly at nurturapy@gmail.com

I tried my first Yoga class in 2004. My journey has had many twists, turns and stories. It continues to grow. Simply, I love Yoga. There are so many kinds of Yoga these days it can get quite confusing. As a graduate of the CSY 200hr Teacher training at Merchant City Yoga in Glasgow my own practice is mainly based in Hatha and Ashtanga, however I blend and incorporate the Primary Series, Scaravelli and Iyengar methods. It can be beneficial to try as many styles as possible and find what's right for you. I believe the best kind of Yoga gifts you a fulfilling experience giving you clarity for the way ahead. As a Yoga teacher I encourage a practice that is kind, gentle, authentic, safe, and with space, for you to explore your-self and have fun. Based in Morayshire in the North East of Scotland I continue to develop my own practice and look to share my knowledge and experience.

Welcome to my corner of the digital realm, where the transformative power of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) converges with the alleviation of social anxiety and workplace-related worries. I'm elated to share my journey and expertise with you. Having walked the path of navigating the intricate labyrinth of anxiety myself, I understand the profound impact it can have on both our personal interactions and our professional aspirations. It was through my own exploration of NLP that I discovered a beacon of hope – a methodology that not only provided me with tools to understand the workings of my mind but also bestowed upon me the power to rewrite the narratives that once held me back. With a heart full of empathy and an arsenal of NLP techniques at my disposal, I am dedicated to guiding you on a voyage towards liberation from the clutches of social and workplace anxiety. Together, we'll delve into the intricacies of NLP, using language patterns, perceptual shifts, and cognitive reframing to untangle the knots that anxiety weaves. As we progress, you'll gain invaluable skills to rewrite your own narrative, replacing apprehension with confidence and self-doubt with self-assuredness. The journey towards a life free from social and workplace anxiety begins here. Join me as we harness the power of NLP to sculpt a future where you navigate social interactions effortlessly, and thrive in your professional pursuits. Let's take the first step together – towards a life marked by newfound confidence, connection, and success. Contact Details Email: bobbypatel1808@gmail.com Website Instagram

Brahmacharini Jahnavi Ma has been a devoted follower of Sri Bhagavan since she met him in Varanasi, India, in 2011. She serves as the main contact for the International Vedanta Society in the UK. Originally from England, Jahnavi Ma combines her experience of a fast paced, modern society with her deep knowledge of ancient Eastern spirituality, offering a balanced and relatable approach to life. For the past 13 years, Jahnavi Ma has worked tirelessly to spread the teachings of Vedanta, both in the UK and internationally. She has accompanied Sri Bhagavan on numerous spiritual tours across India, Europe, the UK, Indonesia, and Malaysia. On January 3rd, 2024, Jahnavi Ma was initiated into the path of Brahmacharya, dedicating her life to the service and upliftment of humanity. Brahmacharya, in Vedanta, means living in the awareness of the divine, or pure infinite consciousness. Through deep meditation and spiritual practice, she has cultivated a mind that is no longer focused on individual concerns but flows naturally towards the welfare of all. Jahnavi Ma is currently working to establish a permanent spiritual centre, or Ashram, in the UK. While she primarily operates in and around London, she also visits other parts of the UK. If you are interested in organizing a spiritual gathering at your home or a local venue, Jahnavi Ma is happy to share her knowledge and practices with you.

Swimasaurus is inspired by my own background in swim teaching and my mother’s (co-author) two decades of experience in education. It seeks to shine a spotlight on an often overlooked but vital topic in early years literature and the national curriculum: water awareness and safety. While swimming lessons are mandatory by Year 4 in England, recent data shows that many children still face barriers to accessing swimming lessons before school, often due to financial constraints or limited local pool availability. This worrying trend leaves some children with anxiety of the water and without crucial water safety messages and skills early on. Our aim is to address this gap, not through instruction, but through engaging storytelling that blends imagination, emotional connection, and subtle, memorable lessons. We believe there is a growing appetite for books that transform bedtime reading into meaningful, bonding experiences, where important life skills can be explored naturally and joyfully.

Access Bars Practitioner and Mind Mentor Hello My name is Rachel Serban and years ago I heard the quote from Mahatma Gandhi "Be the change you want to see in the world", and that quote went so deep into my being as i knew that inside of me, layers beneath my then conditionings was this  person who had the ability to be a complete contribution to the existence of humanity on this earth. Through learning and exploring who I was, who I had become with all its trappings of conditionings and victimhood and life, i learnt to expel these one by one. I used to have day dreams about what I wanted my life to look like, set beliefs and plenty of judgement about anyone or anything, but this did not sit well with me on the inside. I realised that to change the world iI had to change me, to be me and learn to love being me and focus on increasing the gifts within. When I first had my bars run I knew deep inside of me that something about this was different and that it could take me to the places within myself I knew were truly there. My passion for myself and others is complete harmony of mind, body and spirit as when in union we are vital and in flow with everything.
