I've graduated from the Department of Political Science and International Relations at Boğaziçi University. After the graduation; I lived in Spain for a while. Then I returned to Istanbul to pursue my professional career. Over the course of 11 years, I have worked at Eczacıbaşı Vitra, Zara, and finally at Akbank for the last 8 years.
In 2010, I have started practicing prenatal yoga that helped me during my pregnancy and my labor. My face still lights up when I think of my birth experience. I have started my trainings in 2012. Below you can find the trainings I have attended since 2012.I have also attended yoga and mindfulness workshops led by experts such as Elena Brower, Seane Corn, Carlos Pomeda, Dylan Bernstein, and Berrak Yurdakul.
Currently; I am teaching vinyasa classes at YogaSala Istanbul ( one of the oldest and leading studiosin İstanbul ). I also offer private and group yoga sessions. I have also organized a number of

Furthermore, I teach online prenatal yoga classes every week for Acıbadem Hospitals and in-person prenatal yoga classes for their "Preparation for Labor" workshops.
