Yoga Instructor and all things Mind & Body
As committed to her career in investment management as she is to her practice, Yasmine Elli Watanabe decided eight years ago to devote her life to yoga, both on and off the mat. She studied first under Annie Carpenter, most known for designing the YogaWorks teacher training curriculum around her Ashtanga and Iyengar lineage. Yasmine then spent two years teaching full-time at such studios as Equinox, specializing in private, regular instruction for high-level executives. By the time she traded in bare feet for stilettos, she had begun studying intensely with Laura Amazzone, MA, author, scholar, university professor, and initiated yogini in the sakta lineage. Inspired by a path which seeks empowerment and equality through ancient earth-based wisdom, she spends her time advocating for sustainable investing and corporate social responsibility in both financial and non-profit institutions. She is the proud daughter of Cyndi Wyatt.
