Get to Know Master Teacher Cheryl Jones

Who are the people who teach the programs at Copper Beech Institute? Master teacher Cheryl Jones cues us in to a little about her silly and serious sides: 

  • The first thing I do each morning is stretch in bed. Then I feel both feet connect with the ground. I follow my breath in and out  three times, and set an intention for the day.
     
  • I started practicing mindfulness 20 years ago when I read Jon Kabat-Zinn’s book, "Whenever You Go, There You Are."
     
  • Three things I can’t live without are physical activity, loving relationships, and cheese.
     
  • I teach mindfulness because I believe it is the key to well-being for individuals, businesses, and communities.
     
  • My quirkiest habit is color coding my notes at work.
     
  • My guilty pleasure is watching "House of Cards."
     
  • The strangest thing I’ve ever eaten is octopus.
     
  • The best advice I ever got was from Jackie O. She told me, “CJ, sometimes we just have to rise above things."
     
  • The most important item on my bucket list is to grow a garden that my grandchildren will one day come to play in. 
     
  • The last thing I do at night is lie down on the floor in my bedroom. I do some gentle stretches to quiet my mind and let go of tension in my body.
