zeynepheadCihangir Yoga is easily the friendliest yoga centre in Istanbul with a spacious yoga room looking over a small park, and being able to end the practice with a sauna is a unique delight. But it’s the yoga that counts, and Zeynep and David are dedicated to providing first class, affordable teaching with a focus on various forms of vinyasa yoga (including ashtanga) where the teaching encourages the practitioner to go deeper into their practice at their own pace, with the accent on deepening self-awareness and quality of practice.

I realized I am a living breathing creature when I attended a yoga class! Often I can still only get in touch with this feeling when I take yoga – within 5 minutes of entering the Cihangir Yoga space I forget about work. Even though it is so central, Cihangir Yoga has a calming atmosphere and a large open space that embraces me. The best thing is when this reaxation permeates into my daily life… Zeynep Erdost

Like a mirage in Istanbul, it deepens my breath, helps me flow like water. Sometimes it helps acceptance and sometimes it helps me see the conflicts within. The best thing is sleeping at home after a yoga class. I think I must have wanted this so much that the universe created Cihangir Yoga for me. I hope that the founders of Cihangir Yoga are as happy as me! Alev
