Welcome to Commune, a global wellness community and online course platform featuring some of the world's greatest teachers.

We are on a mission to inspire, heal, pass down wisdom, and bring the world closer together. This is the Commune podcast, where

each week we explore the ideas and practices that help us live this healthy, connected,

and purpose-filled life. Our course platform features many world-renowned teachers,

including Marianne Williamson, Deepak Chopra, Russell Brand, Wim Hof,

Brendan Breschard, and Adrian Mischler. In addition to our courses on yoga, meditation,

and personal development, Commune also offers an array of social impact courses, including

unwinding prejudice, redefining leadership, and organize a march. If you are interested in enrolling in any of those

course offerings for free, please email me at Jeff Kay at one commune.com. Okay, my guest on the show this

week is yoga teacher, dear friend, and down the street neighbor, Sean Korn. Sean is an internationally acclaimed

yoga teacher. She has graced the cover of over 40 magazines and has produced myriad instructional

video series. But where Sean and I really connect is around our shared passion for politics

and our common viewpoint that social issues cannot be separated

from yoga and spirituality. Sean has been using her platform for years to bring awareness to

global issues, including social justice, sex trafficking, HIV-AIDS awareness, generational poverty,

and animal rights. Since 2007,

she's been training leaders of activism through her co-founded organization Off the Mat into the world, and her first book, Revolution of the Soul, was published last year in 2019.

On today's episode, Sean and I discuss yoga and politics, the impending election,

the leveraging of her platform in an explicitly non-neutral and political manner. We talk about

the emergence of QAnon within the wellness community and her outspoken efforts to dispel it.

She addresses the opportunity

within this current moment and the need to get to the polls. So I hope you enjoy my conversation
