Yanti Amos
Yanti, an avid athlete, karate black belt and former international lawyer is co-owner of Earth YogaNYC, with her husband Richard Amos, 6th dan Shotokan karate master.
Her first exposure to yoga was in 2003 after a serious polo injury in France. Chantilly yoga teacher Michele Arrosteguy was responsible for bringing Yanti back to health using a rehabilitation program for injured jockeys. Many trips to India followed, as did a regular yoga practice and study of Vedic culture.
In 2010, Yanti completed Yogi Charu's 200 hour Hatha yoga teacher training where a passion for teaching was ignited.
She continued her interest in Sanskrit, and Hindu and Buddhist ancient scripture with John Campbell, Ph.D in 2011, completing his 300 hour training in Ashtanga yoga. Yanti is humbled by her husband Richard's gift for teaching and by her teachers at New York's Bhakti Center. She has about 22 regular teachers at her studio and is passionate about providing a caring forum for them to share their gifts and is committed to providing a safe and welcoming environment for students of all levels. Yanti loves the mantra that yoga should be done joyfully.
