Our teachers

Our programs are run by highly experienced yoga teachers that have been working full time with yoga teacher trainings and workshops in Bali and Turkey for several years. 

Zeynep

Zeynep, one of our main teachers at Yoga Alloy, has dedicated her life to inspire others to follow their heart’s desires and passion in life. After many years of self-inquiry, personal development and continuous learning, she finally found her purpose in life – to help people transform their lives through the path of yoga.

On the path, she collected various skills and certifications including but not limited to BS in Engineering as well as BA in performing arts, MA in Philosophy, Creative Drama Leadership, etc. 

Both her versatile background and her studies on yoga opened up her intuition towards the unity in the universe. In each work she contributes, Zeynep draws her inspiration from various areas of life and spreads this creativity and passion for life generously.

She has co-founded a successful yoga business in Turkey. For the past few years, she has been the Head Teacher at over 20 yoga teacher trainings in Bali, helping hundreds of students become certified yoga teachers. Zeynep do not just talk about the yogic lifestyle…she walks the talk and draws upon the ancient yogic tradition and wisdom as a guide and inspiration for her daily life.

Being an E-RYT 500 of Yoga Alliance, Zeynep loves to work with students of all ages, physical backgrounds, and skill-levels, embracing the uniqueness of each student. At Yoga Alloy she works as one of the main teachers at our trainings and workshops, but she also draws from her engineering background as Head of Operations at Yoga Alloy.

When she´s not working, she is studying continental philosophy, enjoying arts events around the town, sipping away on a green juice or just pondering about life and the Universe. She’s also a big fan of swimming in tropical waterfalls and exploring the latest trendy vegan cafés in search of the world’s best smoothie bowl.

Gokce

Gokce, one of Yoga Alloy´s main teachers, was born in beautiful Izmir, Turkey, and has always been a sea and nature boy, interested in understanding how everything works and the underlying subtle forces of life and nature. The holistic approach of yoga towards life itself attracted Gokce soon after practicing Aikido. After several years of yoga practice, he headed to Bali for his first teacher training.

The vast knowledge behind yoga mesmerized Gokce from the start and he spent over two months in Bali for two trainings and graduated as a RYT 500.

Gokce always wanted to find the meaning of life, and was drawn to Eastern modalities and philosophies to learn how to live a healthy and harmonious life. In college he started practicing the Japanese martial art form Aikido. Aikido is often translated as “the way of unifying (with) life energy” or as “the way of harmonious spirit”. After practicing Aikido for 10 years he was granted a 2nd Dan black belt by Aikikai Foundation, Japan.  

However, it was the holistic approach of yoga to life itself, that brought Gokce to Bali several years later where he graduated as a RYT 500. After  returning to Turkey, Gokce co-founded a successful yoga school and started teaching in various locations in Turkey and Bali. He has taught several workshops and assisted many YTTs throughout the years. Being an E-RYT 500 of Yoga Alliance, he has also practiced with famous yoga teachers around the world including Rod Stryker, Meghan Currie, Doug Swenson, and Simon Borg-Olivier.

Gokce is also a 3rd level Reiki Master Teacher following the ancient methods of Mikao Usui teaching students to be loving healers. He is also interested in and amazed by the vastness of science behind Astrology which he is a lifetime student of. 

Today, he is combining the holistic approach of yoga, the ancient knowledge of balance from Aikido, the healing power of Reiki and the science of stars to weave together his own unique approach to and understanding of everything’s interconnectedness. 

At Yoga Alloy Gokce is, except for being one of our main teachers, also responsible for Sales.
