Alongside these, my achievements also include:

• Master trainer at numerous international aerial yoga festivals.

• Conducted numerous innovative and unique workshops on aerial yoga around the world.
I have been professionally engaged in artistic gymnastics and acrobatics since I was 10. After moving to the USA in 2006, I worked as an artistic gymnastics coach while embarking on my journey into yoga. Having tried and attended numerous courses and practice through various directions and teachers, I began to combine classical Hatha yoga practices with hammocks. Accumulating experience and incorporating the knowledge from multiple fields into my classes, ranging from medicine to spiritual practices, I’ve developed a set of unique experiences and observations to improve students’ conditions and formulated the most effective ways to utilize these strategies.
In 2008, after moving to Turkey, I began teaching yoga and developing the fields of Hatha yoga, Iyengar yoga, and later aerial yoga on a global scale.
