Professional Training Certification in 
| Rigology®, from the French word "rigolo" meaning "amusing" in child talk, is the science of laughter and joie de vivre! Rigology® concerns absolutely everyone because laughter is a vital reflex designed to maintain good physical, psychological and emotional health. It therefore applies to all those wishing to genuinely reconnect with their joy of living and enhance their well-being as well as the well-being of loved ones in a lasting manner. Laughter yoga was invented in 1995 by a general practitioner named Madan Kataria. This expertise is taught within two days for activity leaders and within five days for teachers. Rigology® involves many worldwide disciplines apart from laughter yoga. For aspiring future Expert Rigologists® (the professional expert in laughter), it is taught by ten teachers well known in their respective fields in a 6-module timeframe of 5 to 7 days each, for a minimum period of 2 years. Furthermore, the future Expert Rigologists® must complete a post-graduate dissertation and an on-the-job traineeship. They also must go through regular updating of know-how as well as professional practice supervision. However Rigology® may be practiced following the completion of the first 7-day module (Laughter yoga: 2 days + Rigology® 1: 5 days). The Rigology®1 module is very condense with 70% practical and only 30% theory. This is why it is ideal for those having previously followed the two days of laughter yoga as well as having hosted laughter yoga sessions. This module addresses all the techniques involved in Rigology® helping Rigologists® to discover vectors they may wish to develop later on in their own practice. Rigologists® explain and contribute to the enhancement of daily laughter yoga sessions while using a variety of techniques in Rigology®. Among other things, the Program addresses how to adapt the sessions to different target groups, e.g. children, teens, adults, the elderly, the sick, the disabled, those within social inclusion or businesses. The techniques used come from many horizons−playful sophrology® (Colombia), emotional education and emotional hygiene (USA et France), cooperative games, personal development, initiation to clowning, breathing, supervised relaxation, dynamic and static meditation, complete awareness, love therapy, laughter hugs, happenings, etc. The Rigologist®1 Certificate will be issued by Corinne Cosseron's International School of Laughter following the successful leading of different activities requested throughout the week. The Rigologists® are then registered on the official certified Rigologists listing available at www.laughterschool.org and may then use all of The International School of Laughter's logos as well as register their clubs in the "Where to laugh?" section. Three reasons for becoming a Rigologist®: In conclusion – Becoming a Rigologist® changes one’s personal and professional life while significantly modifying in a positive way our relationship with others. But for now, Rigology® is more of a supplement to an existing activity than a profession in its own right. To find out more please click here. To find out more please click here.
