Laughter Yoga Certification
Originally from Takamatsu, Japan, Michi Morioka spent 6 years (2001-2007) in Halifax, Canada, which she calls her second home. For two summers, she facilitated a specially designed LAUGHTER YOGA CERTIFCATION program at Gail's studio in Eastern Passage, NS. Michi is a certified Yoga instructor (ERYT 500-hour level with Yoga Alliance) and an R-1 certified chiropractor. Michi first encountered Laughter Yoga in 2011 – 5 months after the earthquake and tsunami destroyed a large part of northeastern Japan. In times of such devastation and confusion, and feeling sad and depressed herself, Michi immediately and instinctively knew that Laughter Yoga can potentially heal a lot of people and their lives. She has been a believer in, and an advocate of Laughter Yoga ever since. Michi is also the owner and Yoga instructor of MM Studio in Takamatsu and was happy to be interviewed as a Guest Teacher on Gail's radio show AN INSPIRED PATH during one summer workshop (find the recording on the 'podcast' page of Gail's website)
