About

I am interested in understanding how we move, how we use our musculoskeletal and nervous systems, and strengthening those systems using the Gyrotonic method. I began learning about body movement at an early age and always had an interest in how things work. My father put me in a karate school at the age of 5 after which I got into Muay Thai and later studied Jiu jitsu. A knee injury during Jiu jitsu training at age 40 created “space” and the need to look for something gentler, healing and more wholesome. I practiced Gyrotonic for several years, became a certified yoga instructor and taught all while I continued working my profession in science, engineering, and technology. Only after an early retirement did I decide to deepen my understanding of human body and started my training in Gyrotonic Expansion system. I live on an island in Turkey tending an olive farm and cultivating a local and global Gyrotonic community.
