How to Develop Mindfulness and Serenity during Stressful or Uncertain Times’

In order to be more mindful, you firstly need to recognise in what way you are too mind-full or mind-less. Is it around particular behaviours, or feelings, or in certain situations where auto-pilot switches on full mode and takes control without any sense of awareness?

As part of my series about “How To Develop Mindfulness And Serenity During Stressful Or Uncertain Times”, I had the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Stephanie Minchin, clinical psychologist, yoga therapist trainee, and yoga teacher at MoreYoga.

While pursuing the clinical psychology dream and falling in love with yoga along the way, Dr. Stephanie Minchin developed a career path integrating yoga, psychology, and yoga therapy. Stephanie is the co-founder of the holistic wellness workshop series, the MoreMind Project for MoreYoga, London’s largest independent yoga studio, sharing her integrated approach to improve mental and emotional wellbeing. With a passion for working in mental health and trauma, Stephanie juggles clinical work with children and families alongside therapeutic practices of yoga, from classes to workshops and training across London, all with a view to improving mental and emotional wellbeing.
