At the age of five, my mother introduced me to the daily meditation techniques that she practiced herself along with some asanas that we practiced together.
Years later at university, in 1998, I really discovered yoga, from there I went on to do my first teacher training in 2007 and have taught ever since.
I travelled the world joining workshops and Teacher Trainings with teachers like David Swenson, Richard Freeman, Bryan Kest, Tias Little, Peter Sterios, Bikram Choudhury, Dan Siegel, Sarah Powers, Paul Grilley, Jo Phee, Bernie Clark to name but a few. I have also completed a MBCT (Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy) Certification programme, a 10-day Vipassana Silent Meditation course and many others retreats and training.
I fell in love with Hot Yoga in 2008 after my very first class in Paris and decided to become a Hot Yoga teacher in 2010. Since then, I have taught in the United States, Europe, opened my own studio in Istanbul and continue to teach in London and now in Hampshire.
