Primary Care is usually the first point of contact for patients – and where prevention and early intervention of NCDs can most effectively take place. Paul and Heather talk to GP, Dr Chang Sun Park, about her personal journey in yoga, bringing lifestyle medicine into General Practice, and how the benefits of yoga might be introduced to medical students.

Paul Fox and Heather Mason - who do they think they are? Paul and Heather introduce themselves and their work on integrating evidence-based yoga into healthcare.

Hear how Heather nearly became a Buddhist Nun; and how Paul's was so impressed by a yogi with a head wound!

Seven years into their mission, Paul and Heather describe what it takes to have yoga on prescription, how to make yoga classes NHS-friendly, and the benefits to patients, staff and society of having yoga integrated into healthcare. They also explain why their work is rooted in the yoga tradition.

In this first episode Paul and Heather set the scene. Future episodes will include guests who are leaders in their field, coving academic research, breathwork, psychiatry, psychology, social prescribing and General Practice.
