Lifestyle Practitioners™
Tasmin
Tasmin brings an extensive background in the external and internal arts, grounded in integrating Western and Eastern philosophy and practice. Her early training at The Royal Ballet School, Elmhurst Performing Arts, the Alvin Ailey American Dance Center, and in Dance Movement Therapy at Goldsmiths, University of London, established a foundation of excellence and a lifelong dedication to understanding the human body, mind, and spirit through movement and awareness.
Certified in multiple styles of yoga and deeply immersed in meditation practice, Tasmin spent several years in meditation centers across the Americas and Europe. Her path of study and transformation was profoundly shaped through transmissional instruction under a grandmaster in an ancient lineage of Taoism, Ch’an (Zen), and Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Tasmin’s daily practice embodies a coordinated and intentional way of living, one devoted to promoting health, wellness, and the fulfillment of human potential. Her teaching within the Lifestyle Wellness® program reflects this integrative philosophy, emphasizing collaboration with humane and environmentally ethical enterprises.
Committed to lifelong learning, Tasmin is currently pursuing a Master of Science in Integrative and Functional Nutrition, specializing in Culinary Nutrition and Medicine, at Saybrook University, alongside a Doctorate in Traditional Chinese Medicine, specializing in Herbal Pharmacology.
