Hi, I’m Kelly Podlubny — World Laughing Champion 2025, Laughter Ambassador, Laughter Yoga Teacher, and full-time joy enthusiast!
My laughter journey began after my recovery from substance use in 2016, when I discovered that laughter really is the best medicine. What started as a few chuckles turned into a full-on life transformation. By 2019, I was a Certified Laughter Yoga Leader and had co-founded a laughter club to spread joy, connection, and the kind of giggles that make your cheeks hurt.
When the pandemic hit, I wasn’t about to let a little thing like global chaos stop the laughter, so we took our sessions online, helping people stay connected and uplifted through the screen. In May 2022, a friend and I revived Vancouver’s longest-running laughter club, infusing it with fresh energy and a whole lot of contagious fun.
Today, I bring laughter yoga to corporate events, conferences, staff meetings, and recovery groups. As a Laughter Yoga Teacher, I also train new leaders, helping them share the practice and spread the laughter in their own communities.
My mission? To help people connect, find joy, and laugh a little more. Because honestly, life is a lot more fun when you don’t take it too seriously.
Let’s laugh together!
