Seane Corn was born in 1966 in New Jersey into a working-class family. At 17 she moved to New York, and in the early 1990s to Los Angeles, where she discovered yoga and completed her first teacher training in 1994.
From vinyasa to awareness
She became known for popularising vinyasa flow. She has said that early on she favoured intensity over substance, and has spent years correcting that.
Off the Mat, Into the World
With Hala Khouri and Suzanne Sterling she co-founded this organisation to connect yoga communities with social justice. It offers trauma-informed leadership training.
Through the Global Seva Challenge, yoga communities worldwide raised close to $4 million for 23 projects by 2017.
Her ideas
- Yoga is a creative healing art that evolves.
- Teachers should keep their ego in check and serve their students.
- Personal and collective trauma lives in the body too.
- Her motto: “Let love lead”.
