I am looking forward to being in conversation with Stephanie Jackson, MD - General Practitioner, Yoga and Mindfulness Instructor. We will be discussing her embodied practices and related themes such as one of my favourite, the continuum of 'gentleness' and 'discipline' in living our intentions.
Yoga
Stephanie began practising yoga thirty years ago and has been teaching it for twenty years. She takes her teaching where asked and needed, ranging from TB patients in Dharamsala, India to Surestart Mother and baby classes in Falmouth. She has taught yoga to GP trainees, elders in residential homes, pregnant mums, circus performers with Swamp Circus and festival goers in the southwest. She currently offers classes in Penryn and Falmouth.
For the past ten years she has been one of the organisers of Surya Yoga Camp, a family friendly, eco camp near Penryn in Cornwall, UK.

In 2012, she began training at Bangor University to teach Mindfulness and gained a Masters in Mindful Based Approaches. Her research has explored how mindfulness practice affects self-care decisions made by Healthcare Professionals.
She has been offering both Mindfulness training to Healthcare Professionals alongside community-based classes for the past five years. She also works as a GP in the NHS and as a GP Educator for Health Education England. She is a member of the UK Mindfulness Network.
