Serpil Öztürk is a retired Turkish literature and language teacher. She started Yoga after her retirement. Yoga became a new start in her life. Because yoga gave answers to all her questions, and gave her a full, healthy and harmonious life.

Serpil does not see yoga, as a hoby; or yoga teaching, as a job. For her, yoga is a life style and yoga teaching is a chance to serve people and humanity.
Her first yoga teacher is Ramaray Das who found the Govinda Math Yoga Center. She worked with him for seven years.

She continued her practice in various yoga studios in Europe and USA. Meeting worldwide famous yoga intructors and working with them inspired her. In her yearly visits to India, she met very significant yogis. She always returns from india with rich experiences.
Serpil Öztürk is also interested in natural healing methods, and she is teaching reiki since 1999. Also she organises reiki seminars regularly.

Deniz is a graduate of Bilkent University Performing Arts (1998). Deniz started yoga at her college years, but did not select it as a lifestyle until 2004, when she started teaching at her mothers’ yoga studio, Yogayolu. 

She went to India several times to learn yoga from the source, where she also took her first yoga teaching certificate.  In order to explore how yoga was interpreted in the western society she worked with various acclaimed instructors in England, Germany, Italy and USA and experienced different styles and their effects.  She had her Ashtanga Yoga training with David Swenson in summer 2007 and vedic chanting and basic Sanskrit training in autumn 2007.

For her, the unbearable flow of life is similar to the flow of the body through the asanas.  Her own practice and teachings are based on this essence of flow. This practice is called Ashtanga Vinyasa System. Deniz has dedicated herself to Yoga as her way of life where she follows an infinite circle of learning and teaching.
