My guest today, Shawn Corn, has been a force in the world of yoga for many, many years.
I, back in the day, in the early two thousands, owned a yoga studio in New York City and taught for seven years myself, and was always just absolutely blown away by Shaun's presence, her thoughtfulness, her compassion, her originality and sense of service.
Along the way, she has since built a giant global following, traveled around the world, taught and impacted the lives of so many different people.
And it's kind of amazing because if you zoom the lens even further back in time, growing up in New Jersey, Shawn was a kid who really struggled with any sort of teaching or education type of format.
She did not do well in a traditional school where movement was not a part of the sort of educational process.
And then she also struggled with a pretty substantial experience of OCD, of anxiety and thought spinning.
And it's really fascinating to actually know how yoga and breathing played a role in helping her unwind all of this in her life and led, to a certain extent, to the career and living and the lifestyle that she now has.
These are things that we explore in depth in today's conversation.
Really excited to share Sean Karn, her lens on life, her experience with you.
I'm Jonathan Fields, and this is good life project.
What kind of kid were you?
What kind of kid was I?
I was a decent kid.
Curious, athletic, think, high energy, sensitive.
But I grew up in a.
My parents were super young, progressive in a lot of ways, and we were allowed.
We were given a lot of freedom to explore, to express ourselves.
So I had a nice little childhood.
Yeah, sensitive how?
I was highly intuitive.
