I started practising yoga in 2015 in Istanbul where I was living at the time, mostly thanks to the fact that a yoga studio called Cihangir yoga was the main hang out for foreigners like me. It quickly became the best thing in my life. I’d never been a dancer or a gymnast and thus far had resisted any form of exercise or any other wholesome activity for that matter! I was extraordinarily inflexible and uncoordinated and at the age of 25 I found myself to be quite anxious and uncertain about how to create the life I knew I wanted. After discovering yoga I had one of those annoying cliche moments that everyone talks about where my life changed and everything started to come together.
