Linda Yoonjin on Brain Education, the Gut & Confidence on Camera

Join me, Shawna Krueger, for an interview with Linda Yoonjin. Linda is the director of Brain Education TV and also a content creator and wonderful teacher. I take classes with her nearly every day virtually. She does a number of very admirable and impressive things from teaching brain education to kids, to growing a YouTube channel to a community of over 346K.

On a personal note, I wanted to talk to her because she was my first Body and Brain teacher, which is thanks to my mom showing me her videos when I was having a serious health problem and could not practice my normal “physically intense” yoga practice last year.

We discuss Linda’s personal practice and healing story, and her journey growing on YouTube. This episode is incredibly inspiring and a refreshing outlook on content creation. 

What is “Korean Yoga?” Brain Education is a comprehensive system of mind-body training created by Ilchi Lee for developing the brain’s capacity to create physical, emotional, and mental health. It has been researched at top universities and research institutions—such as the University of London and the Korea Institute of Brain Science. Made popular in South Korea, it has now been practiced for over 40 years by millions around the world.
