PRESENTER
Stephanie Lill
Founder, Mindful Sparks
Stephanie Lill is an experienced educator and yoga and meditation teacher whose career started in 2006. Over the years, she has worked in a variety of roles, from Early Years and Primary Teacher to leadership positions in Pastoral Care and Child Protection, always driven by a deep commitment to supporting teachers and students.
She began her teaching career as an ESL teacher in Italy and has since taught in England, China, Nepal, and Thailand. Along the way, she’s gained hands-on experience with the IB PYP, UK, and USA curricula. She’s spent five years working in Pastoral Care and three years working in Child Protection as the DSL, roles that have shaped her understanding of the diverse challenges teachers face.
As a yoga and meditation teacher, Lilly values balance, self-awareness, and staying grounded, values she carries into her work.
Outside of teaching, she finds so much joy and peace being in nature, especially by the sea. She loves to keep active with CrossFit, rock climbing, running, swimming and yoga. A vegan since 2014, she is passionate about compassionate and sustainable living. And when life calls for stillness, she loves curling up with a book, solving a jigsaw puzzle, or spending time with her cats.
Her diverse experiences have not only shaped her as an educator but also inspired the mission behind Mindful Sparks: to empower teachers to thrive both personally and professionally.
