Over the years, he has taught regular classes at many leading yoga studios in Istanbul. Throughout this journey, he had the opportunity to work directly with some of Turkey’s most prominent yoga teachers as well as many international instructors, gaining experience in various styles and deepening his knowledge in yoga philosophy, yoga therapy, meditation, mindfulness, anatomy, and Ayurveda.

He has a deep interest in psychoanalytical pyschology, existential philosophy, mythology, meditation, and neuroscience. A minimalist and an environmentalist, he enjoys experiencing life with full presence and making connections across different disciplines. In this context, he regularly offers workshops both to the general public and to corporate companies.
