About Alison

Alison has worked in the Voluntary and Community Sector for over 20 years delivering training and development support. Her professional, informal and interactive style enables people to learn rather than be taught.

 Since discovering Laughter Yoga and learning to really take care of her own wellbeing, Alison has embraced the concept and now shares Laughter Yoga with others.

Alison offers Laughter Yoga, Personal Development Coaching and continues to support the Voluntary and Community Sector with workshops and live online discussions.  Motivated by the desire to encourage and enable individuals to be the best they can be, Alison spurs folk on to relax, be themselves, value themselves, make time for themselves and most importantly to laugh and play every day.

Felt positive and amazing after laughing yoga breathing. 

The workshop was amazing – eased my back pain and relaxed me.

Really enjoyed the workshop and how positive it was and made me feel. 

About Dubries

Dubries is a business created and owned by me, Alison Orr. Why ‘Dubries’? Well, its a word that I have in my vocabulary and is used regularly when I cannot bring to mind the word that I really need. So, basically it can mean anything and in this case sums up the many aspects of the Dubries offer. In essence the aim of Dubries is to encourage people to develop, be their own person, and be the best they can be.
