This program is designed to guide certified 200-Hour Yoga Teachers who are ready to turn their passion for yoga into a sustainable career.

Led by Alev Belviranlı, Director of Cihangir Yoga since 2011, the program not only shares real-life insights on how to open and manage a yoga studio, but also introduces financial literacy, personal brand building, and sustainable business practices for yoga professionals.

It’s an inspiring and practical roadmap for teachers who want to transform yoga from a practice into a profession — one that supports both their life and their purpose.

About Alev Belviranlı 

Since 2011, Alev Belviranlı has been leading Cihangir Yoga, guiding the growth and transformation of a community that embraces yoga as a way of life. Through her work, she has helped the studio expand with a professional management approach and bring its mission to a wider audience. In 2017, she became a partner of the company.

Alev’s journey with yoga began in 2001. When she crossed paths with Cihangir Yoga in 2006, yoga became not just a practice but a life-changing path for her. In 2011, she left her corporate career to join the management of Cihangir Yoga. Since then, she has led countless events, supported the development of hundreds of teachers, and witnessed many people integrating yoga into their daily lives.

Alev began her career as a writer at Doğan Holding, contributing to Milliyet, Capital, and Ekonomist magazines. In the early 2000s, she shifted her focus to the digital world and played a key role in founding one of Turkey’s first online trading platforms. Between 2001 and 2004, she lived in Silicon Valley, following emerging technologies and writing for Turkish publications. Later, she worked as Digital Channels Manager at Yıldız Holding, overseeing the digital communication of hundreds of brands and leading numerous award-winning projects.

She has completed Cihangir Yoga’s 200-Hour Foundational Teacher Training, The Chris Chavez Path to Yoga 200-Hour, CY Yin Yoga Specialization, and Cihangir Yoga 300-Hour Master Path to Yoga programs. She also holds a Biointegrative Breath Therapist Certificate from Kadir Has University and has trained with internationally renowned teachers such as Meghan Currie, Dylan Werner, Sianna Sherman, and Seane Corn.

A graduate of Pertevniyal High School, Alev earned her bachelor’s degree in Economics from Marmara University and attended business programs at Middlesex University in the UK. A former volleyball player and an endlessly curious Gemini, yoga, breathwork, and meditation are at the heart of her life — a source of balance, awareness, and renewal.
