Within the guidance of yoga, discover your most profound understanding of life.
For me, teaching yoga means helping students find freedom within the guidance of the practice. I believe the more you open your heart, the more fearlessly you live your life! The more you live fearlessly, the more you have an impact on people around you and uplift your community.
I bring my passion for the practice alive in my classes through accessible alignment-focused postures linked with intentional sequencing. Each class is designed purposefully to experience a focal point like an Asana (posture), a body part or a thematic approach to support you to reach to your most profound understanding of yoga.
I worked as an architect for 5 years before I discovered yoga and I knew that my life would change in many ways. I began my 200 Hour training with Chris Chavez in my home country of Turkey in 2014 and completed my 300 Hour Advanced training with Semperviva Yoga College, focusing on Hatha and Vinyasa yoga. I have been teaching public classes at Semperviva Yoga since 2016 and working for the department that manages the teachers. Additionally, I have been an Assistant for the Semperviva Yoga 200 Hour Teacher Training since January 2019.

I am blessed to have crossed paths with Ayse many years ago in Istanbul. I am impressed that from my classes and teacher training, Ayse ventured out into the world to establish herself as such an amazing woman and gifted teacher!! I am proud to have Ayse as one of my dearest and most trusted friends!

My first encounter of Ayse was in one of my yoga classes. She had that spark I look for in teachers…a spark that can ignite a spark in others to learn and grow.
I didn’t know it at the time, but Ayse had already completed her 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training Certification and was a devoted student of Chris Chavez.
I understood instinctually that she would be a good teacher. Since meeting her that has proven to be the case. She is dedicated to yoga and understands yoga as a path of service. Her continued studies serve her development as a teacher and her ability to inspire and serve her students. It has been a pleasure watching her development as a beginner teacher to stepping into a role as faculty at Semperviva Yoga. I feel blessed to have her as part of our community.

Ayse truly lives her yoga off the mat and into the world with every step she takes. A teacher, student and friend of great passion, dedication and truth! Ayse commits whole heartedly to learn, to grow and to support whoever and whenever it’s needed. I admire her willingness to be vulnerable and to fully show up with every curve the journey of life offers her. Her strength and compassion is one to be recognized and will nourish the soul of others. To be in Ayse presence is a gift not to be missed.

Ayse pours her soul into all her offerings! She approaches teaching as a privilege. Her genuine care and devotion to her students shines through in the energy she extends in all her classes through carefully crafted sequences and the thoughtfulness of her themes. She engages on a deep personal level with the practice as a dedicated and passionate student, both on and off the mat. Her sincerity, gentleness and open heart inform every thing she does.
