Donna Bernstein

Certified Laughter Yoga Teacher

Founder of Laughter Yoga with Donna


I feel fortunate to have received my Laughter Yoga Teacher Certification and training in India from the founder of Laughter Yoga, Dr. Madan Kataria.

I am a Registered Dietitian and Certified Dietitian/Nutritionist with 35 years of professional experience, specializing in working with people with special needs and the elderly.

I am also a certified yoga instructor, certified meditation teacher, nature lover, mountain climber, creative vegetarian chef, and a caring individual who loves to laugh and make others laugh.

As a health care worker, I have seen so many people suffer. With the tool of Laughter Yoga, I hope to bring inner happiness, physical and emotional health, and a feeling of connection to as many people as I can.

What to expect at Laughter Yoga with Donna


In Yoga Laughter, we don’t do “traditional” yoga poses, but I will lead you through a series of easy-to-learn activities. Quickly, you will be having fun and laughing while getting fun aerobic exercise that oxygenates the brain and body and strengthens the immune system. Very quickly, you will experience irresistible laughter, mood lifts, optimism, and a general sense of well-being.

Wear loose fitting clothing, don’t bring a yoga mat—and be prepared to smile for the rest of the day!
