33. Maturing from pain to purpose, with Seane Corn The Weeks Well
-
- Health & Fitness
Seane Corn is one of the most influential people in modern yoga. Her journey in yoga teaching and service work started after her teacher training and at the moment she "niched" into a student group she believed she could help. When she met her students at Children of the Night, a non-profit serving girls between 12-17 who had been sex trafficked, she says they served her, rather than the other way around. Since then she has taken her career into many important areas of the yoga market: She has raised millions of dollars for the various organizations she has founded and/or served (see: Off The Mat Into The World), written a popular book (Revolution of the Soul), and continued to teach her heart out. Now, after 25 years of teaching yoga, she is starting a teacher training program. In this conversation, we dive deeply into the shadow work she has done to evolve her practice—to drive her pain into purpose. Seane talked to me about how wonderfully adjunctive both psychotherapy and the map of the energetic body have been as she continues excavating and embracing the fact that a spiritual path means recognizing that we’re all capable of hurting and being hurt.
