Heather Mason is a passionate advocate for yoga and mindfulness as a means to support people in facing life’s challenges.

As a young woman, Heather Mason found her way back from a place of desperation to a life of balance in which she has become a passionate advocate for the twin practices of yoga and mindfulness that afforded her so much support in finding her own way. She has worked tirelessly to embed these Oriental practices into UK healthcare, with a surprising degree of success, both through political channels and directly through training a generation of specialist practitioners within her organisation, the Minded Institute. In this interview, she clarifies the relationship between the two practices and the opportunities they offer to those with cancer when combined.
