About Light of Gaia

Meet Özgür

I came to Yoga after years of corporate life—searching for something that felt true, sustainable, and alive. Yoga became the practice that helped me breathe again, and eventually the path that brought me to teaching. As learning never ends, I also became a trained Pilates teacher and also a certified Organic Intelligence® Coach.

My Journey

At Light of Gaia, we have a passion for helping individuals embark on their wellness journey. Our classes are designed to provide a personalized experience that nurtures both the body and the mind. We believe in the power of movement and mindfulness to transform lives, and it is our mission to guide you towards a healthier and more balanced lifestyle.

Life is a journey and what we make out of it is up to us. I am growthing following my heart. I am learning new things every day. Most important of all, I am enjoying the walk with its ups and downs. Let's share the joy, laughter and love.

 

"The journey is what brings us happiness not the destination." (Dan Millman)

My Approach

As a teacher I focus on clear alignment cues and provide options for different body types. My holistic approach includes also breath work and nervous system support - all this in a calm and respectful atmosphere.

I teach in Lausanne and surroundings. On request also online.
