Embodied Leadership - With Special Guest, Scott Robinson

In this episode, Artemis Evangelidi speaks with Scott Robinson, who has spent over two decades in the world of finance while also pioneering a unique path as the founder of Yogi Banker. Scott shares his journey from studying commerce and law in Sydney, to building a high-powered career in London and New York, and how a series of pivotal moments led him to yoga, mindfulness, and energy practices like Reiki.

 

He reflects on how an openness to new experiences helped him balance the intensity of banking with practices that reconnected him to his breath, presence, and inner stillness. What began as personal exploration became teaching and creating well-being programs for colleagues, eventually leading to DB Yoga at Deutsche Bank, where his classes and mindfulness sessions supported people through stress, grief, and everyday challenges.

 

Scott and Artemis discuss the importance of “unlearning” rigid roles and allowing space for new aspects of ourselves to emerge. Scott highlights that well-being is not one-size-fits-all: what matters is finding practices that resonate—whether yoga, meditation, Qigong, or something else—and committing to them with curiosity and consistency.

This conversation explores how professional success and inner wellbeing can not only coexist but enrich each other, offering a holistic perspective on living and working with balance.
