Right now I&#8217;m a full time yoga teacher, but I went to grad school and researched substance abuse. On day, I&#8217;ll continue my work in that field.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WL: What did your child self want to be when you grew up? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>SH:<\/strong> When I was a child, I wanted to be a weatherman and in fact, I was &#8212; a weatherman for a small TV station in Idaho for a couple years. It was wonderful.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WL: What is your personal theme song?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zI-YR4LBzL0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>WL: What is your biggest fear?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>SH:<\/strong> My biggest fear is airplanes. So, traveling is a great chance for me to practice my meditation in action.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WL: What is your favorite yoga pose?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>SH:<\/strong> My favourite pose is Utthita Parsvokanasana (Extended Side Angle). There isn&#8217;t much you can&#8217;t do in that pose and I&#8217;m known for encouraging my students to practice this one if they&#8217;re feeling glum. It really helps!<\/p>\n<p><strong>WL: What is your least favorite yoga pose?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>SH:<\/strong> My least favourite pose is Warrior III. I&#8217;ve decided this pose should be banned because I can&#8217;t do it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WL: What has been your most embarrassing moment as a yoga student?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>SH:<\/strong> I used to be a very impatient practitioner. Years ago my teacher was instructing us in dolphin and very specifically said not to kick up into an inversion. Well, I didn&#8217;t listen and kicked up anyway and flew right and landed on my back with a big thud. Lesson learned.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WL: What has been your most embarrassing moment as a yoga teacher?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>SH:<\/strong> I noticed one of my students giggled in a high pitched voice every time I adjusted her. Before thinking, I said, &#8220;You&#8217;re just like the Pillsbury Dough Boy.&#8221; Fortunately she &#8212; and everyone else &#8212; found it funny.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WL: What do you love about what you do?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>SH:<\/strong> I love to see yoga used as a force of healing: for the body, for relationships, for earth, and for the heart. Its potency is incredible and I love being a part of it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WL: What challenges you about what you do?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>SH:<\/strong> Seeing egos go rampant in yoga. One of my teachers used to shout in front of 70 people, &#8220;Nobody gives a $&amp;% what you can do with your body Sean. It&#8217;s everyone&#8217;s own practice that matters.&#8221; I&#8217;m grateful for her and that reminder to always stay focused on the practice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sean Haleen is teaching at Wanderlust Yoga in the City San Francisco\u00a0on Saturday, May 17.
