Some more reflections and experiences from my dear students. 🙏🤎

The next cohort begins in July.

DM me to learn more.✨

... to be continued.

🪶 A New Sense of Self 🪶

It’s hard to believe there’s less than a month left until the first cohort of my 9 months of yoga teacher training completes their journey.

At the beginning of the training, I shared the metaphor of rebirth with them, that after 9 months, they would step into a new version of themselves.

Now, as the training comes to an end, they remember this and are beginning to embody a new sense of self.

Watching them teach and grow into their roles as teachers fills my heart. 🤍

Over the past 8 months, I’ve watched how gently, slowly, and safely they’ve grown into this role. It keeps reminding me that becoming a yoga teacher is a process that cannot be rushed into just under a month of training.

I’m sorry, but I have to say it again: it’s just UNREALISTIC. Trying to pass on thousands of years of knowledge in such a short time, will never sit right with me.

The second cohort starts in July, and spaces are already filling up. There are only 6 spots available, because I value giving close attention to each student, so they become confident teachers, not just part of a mass-produced system.

Send me a DM to book a call with me.

Dear yoga teachers,

I have something for you.

200-hour trainings often move quickly and provide a lot of information, but very little preperation for real teaching.

Being a new yoga teacher can feel overwhelming and lonely.

There is so much information out there – you can feel confused and lost.

If that’s you, you are not alone.

I’ve created a community on Skool to support new yoga teachers through this transition.

It is for those navigating the early stages teaching, especially if you are feeling unsure about consistency, confidence, or how to structure and guide a class.

Inside this free community, you will find:
-A pre-recorded training on pose categories, cueing, and the essentials of sequencing, with a small assignment you can share for feedback.

-Monthly group calls.

-Bi-monthly workshops and practice sessions.

And a supportive community where you can ask questions and connect.

There is also an option for deeper support through 1:1 mentoring with me, if you feel called to more personal guidance – YACEP certified.

But most importantly, this space is here so you don’t have to walk this path alone.

You are welcome here.

Let’s grow together.

Comment ‘community’ to receive the link, or follow the Skool link in my bio to join.

Love,
Derya

I deeply believe in women’s solidarity and truly value working with women.

In honor of International Women’s Day and throughout the month of March, I’m offering a bursary for women who feel called to join my Online 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training, starting in July 2026.

Maybe this is meant for you. Maybe it’s for a woman in your life that you would love to support on her journey.

Please help me spread the word. Your sharing might bring this opportunity to the woman who needs it most.

Sending love to everyone here, and a little extra love to all the women.🤎✨

Healing Touch: Thai Yoga Massage Workshop

Experience the healing power of touch in this 2-hour all-levels workshop.

You’ll learn the basic techniques of this special massage while opening space for connection through breath, mindful touch, and supportive presence - exploring how to use your body and energy in a balanced and conscious way.

Thai Yoga Massage is a traditional practice rooted in loving-kindness (Metta), combining rhythmic pressure and gentle stretches to support deep relaxation, flexibility, and energetic balance.

Often described as a therapeutic dance, it offers a nourishing and grounding experience for both the giver and the receiver, creating a meditative connection between two people.

The workshop will be held with a partner, and each participant will have the opportunity to both give and receive massage, allowing you to experience the practice from both perspectives.

Come with a partner, or come on your own - we’ll happily pair you up!

29 Kasım’da, küçük ve özel bir grupla Online Yoga Eğitmenlik Eğitimi yolculuğuna başlıyoruz.

Eğitimin kapsamı ve içeriği, Türkiye’de benzerine az rastlanır cinsten. On yıldır dünyanın dört bir yanında edindiğim eğitmenlik deneyimlerinden ve farklı geleneklerden damıtarak oluşturduğum bu programla ilgili en sık aldığım soru ise şu:

“Katılmak için herhangi bir deneyimimin olması gerekiyor mu?”

Cevabım ise hem evet, hem hayır.

Genelde bu soruyu soranların “deneyim”den kastı fiziksel deneyim oluyor. Buna cevabım hayır, çünkü bu eğitimde size hareketin mekaniğini ve yoga anatomisini en temelden öğretiyorum, böylece hem güvenli bir şekilde kendi pratiğinizi oluşturmayı, hem de dilerseniz bunu ileride öğrencilerinizle paylaşmayı öğreniyorsunuz.

Peki “evet” kısmı neye?

Kendinizi öğrenmeye, keşfetmeye ve sorgulamaya dair olması gereken merak ve deneyime. Çünkü pozlara ve anatomiye dair öğrendiğimiz her şeyin özünde de bu anlayış var.

Bu paylaştıklarım ilgini çektiyse, aramıza katılmak için bana mesaj gönderebilirsin. 🤎
