I have an endless curiosity of people and the body. My passion for movement continued through years as a swimmer and led me to a career in fitness.
After graduating from Bogazici University, ELL Department, I worked as an English teacher for ten years but sports has always been my passion. During that time, I began taking Pilates lessons for my personal care.
Encouraged by my progress, I wanted to share my Pilates journey with others. I earned my teaching certification.
Pilates was the jump-start to my career in the fitness industry. With the desire to add on to my skills, I got TRX Suspension training with a Trigger Point Performance Theraphy. I completed a 280 hour yoga certification with Yogakioo by Cetin Cetintas attending a lot of workshops along with it of famous yogis such as Meghan Currie, Nicole Ohme, Zeyneb Uras, Konstantinos Charantiniotis, Desiree Rumbaugh, Andrew Rivin. I got my Acrovinyasa certification from Yogabeyond in Bali. I got my RYT 500 Yoga Teacher Training in the USA. Besides I finished Breathwork & Meditation course recently.
My knowledge coupled with my patience and dedication made me a highly sought after instructor. Whether I am teaching a class or a private session, I am known for balancing my cheerful encouragement with butt-kicking workouts. I combine Pilates and Yoga in my classes and give much importance on stretching and mobility moves.
I appeared in Women's Health Turkey magazine with my total body workout programme. And I became a cover girl on Women’s Health Magazine in 2018.
I had been an ambassador of Skechers Turkiye for 3 years.
And I have been an ambassador of Liforme mats for 4years.
I am here for INSPIRATION, for BEAUTY, for ART. I want you to see that true beauty lies in taking care of yourself... I know my tribe will find me... love & light 🙏 JUST BE YOURSELF
