Piya Uppal (she/her)

Piya is a Wellness and Creative Healing Facilitator, motivational speaker, and the Founder of "Pipals Tree" and "Heal with Piya," wellness initiatives guided by the belief that healing, peace, freedom, and joy begin from within.

 

A certified Yoga & Meditation Teacher, Global Laughter Yoga Ambassador & Teacher, Mindful Expressive Arts Teacher, and Sound Meditation Teacher, she creates safe and inclusive spaces where people can breathe, move, express, and rise through yoga, laughter, breathwork, creative expression, sound, mindfulness, and connection.

 

Through workshops, community programs, corporate offerings, and personalized wellness experiences across Canada, India, and virtually for global audiences, she helps people cultivate resilience, freedom, authenticity, and joy. Living her passion and creating spaces for others to follow theirs, she brings purpose into motion through every experience she facilitates.

 

During some of the most challenging times of her life, laughter became Piya's anchor and best friend. That experience shaped her belief that while we may not always be able to change our circumstances, we can transform the way we meet them. Today, she blends laughter yoga with storytelling, play, singing, music, dance, mindfulness, and creative expression to create uplifting and engaging experiences. She believes that laughter, singing, dancing, and play are powerful pathways to joy, connection, and wellbeing. Affectionately known as the "Laughter Queen" and "Freedom Energist," she inspires people to reconnect with their authentic selves and embrace greater confidence, freedom, and joy.

 

Originally trained as a visual artist with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Applied Arts & Graphic Design, Piya served as Deputy Head of the Graphics Department at New Delhi Television Limited (NDTV), India, before her path evolved into the field of holistic wellbeing. She is also known for her 365 Days of "Happiness Through Laughter Challenge" on social media, which has continued as "365 Laughter and Beyond." Piya is the recipient of the Woman of Excellence Award 2026 across multiple industries. Her work has been featured on Radio Noida, India, as well as through community and wellness events covered across newspapers, radio, media channels, and digital platforms.

 

Through storytelling, laughter, and play, Piya invites people to explore one simple question: "What story might unfold if joy became your guide?"
