Yoga & Mindfulness
My teaching style is an integrated holistic approach based on mindfulness. Yoga and mindfulness classes that I offer consists of meditation, therapeutic yoga, functional and somatic healing methods, energy medicine, breathing & relaxation techniques, Taoist practices such as qigong and the 5 element theory based on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
I help my students/clients to achieve and maintain optimum health, vitality and a balanced body-mind and spirit. Utilising the power of ancient teachings, awareness, healthy wellness habits and various holistic self-healing tools I aim to guide and support them to cultivate a consistent practice. I strive to offer a safe, sacred, open space for my students to reconnect within and encourage self-care, self compassion, self-inquiry & self-empowerment.

Do you remember last time you experienced that feeling of being truly relaxed?
Restorative Yin yoga is a mindfulness based gentle yoga style, which is all about slowing down, softening and opening up, using props -rather than muscles-to support the body during poses that are held long, where your muscles are allowed to relax deeply. This is a weekly online group yoga evening session, given in English.
Restorative Yin yoga is good complement to more active practices & a fast lifestyle. It is nourishing, grounding and has an enormous capacity to rebalance & heal physical and mental symptoms that are stress related. It calms the mind, promotes parasympathetic nervous system (rest & digest response), boosts the immune system and enhances mood states. In addition, practising Restorative yin yoga is a great help to anyone who is recovering from illnesses, such as cancer. It can help coping with burnout, pain, anxiety and depression.

"Beste is for me more than a yoga teacher, she is a mindfulness guru, and the perfect energy whisperer… I don’t know how I survived my extra busy life before I began her Yin Yang yoga classes. Now I know every Saturday, I have my precious time with her that will give me the peace, the calmness, and the rest of mind that I need to have the perfect weekend. In life I am a fast pacer, I am always in a rush, and in panic mode! This session helps me to calm down and find my balance and slow down wisely, balancing my body energy. Thanks Beste for opening your heart, soul, and your mind for us to find the balance in our lives."~Selin
"I have been taking online private yoga lessons from Beste for a few months now. I experience quite some improvements in my life quality, not only physically but also psychologically. Beste listens to my needs and wishes really well... Beste is a very kind and friendly person and committed to teaching yoga. She has a deep knowledge, and years of experience in teaching yoga - in private and group lessons... can not thank Beste enough for teaching me yoga and guiding me in the practice so well. I have the feeling that taking private lessons from her brought me forward in my life.”~Cigdem
"Since I started the online yoga classes with Beste, I feel a great deal of improvement in my lower back pain. Aches and pains start to disappear and gradually, impossible poses are becoming possible. The classes helped me to restore flexibility, improve balance and stability. They also helped me a lot to reduce stress and improve mood. I am learning with Beste to achieve a higher level of connection, awareness between the mind, body & spirit. Yoga classes helped me a lot to have a deeper connection to and understanding of my self. I love the classes and the emphasis on observing rather than reacting."~Mona
