Irem is a  natural teacher. I had been doing yoga for years before taking Irem's classes but never really 'got it'.  With inspiration from Irem and lots of interesting breathing exercises, I finally feel that I am getting a lot out of my yoga practice and classes.  Very highly recommended!

After years of knowing that I needed to begin working out and becoming healthier, I finally decided to attend a free yoga class at my school. I had some knowledge about yoga from other classes that were also started for teachers, but no one prepared me for the likes of lovely Irem. I can honestly say that I realized for the very first class that I had finally found the way to get me moving in the right direction. Irem’s kind and forgiving attitude coupled with her vast knowledge of both yoga and the human body make a great combination. She explains every move before we actually do it. Frequently asking questions like “Do you have trouble with your ........? Well then you should try it this way” have made me feel secure in the class. I am not afraid of getting hurt and am actually motivated to try new and more difficult positions, learning to push my limits in a safe environment. After each class, the relaxed and content feeling I have is hard to describe. I am now much more physically active these days and I know that Irem’s class was catalyst that I needed. What better testimony can I give than to say that I have never missed a class? mws

Irem's yoga classes are inspiring because of her happy energy. She gives suggestions for pose modification so all levels can join in. Her explanations of yoga theory and reasons for breathing techniques and poses are helpful in integrating them into life outside of class. I very much enjoy the weekly classes.

Yoga with Irem an oasis in a busy work week! It is great to see a group of teachers enter the class with all kinds of stress and nervous energy and leave with relaxed smiles on their faces. Aside from better flexibility, less stress and improved fitness levels, I have also had significantly less problems with cold/sinus issues this year. I think the breathing that we do at the beginning and end of class has made a big difference. Irem is just a great teacher, she started the class 6 months ago with both practiced and new yoga students at a level that was comfortable to everyone. She has slowly introduced us to more challenging poses and breathing in a way that was not at all overwhelming. At the beginning we could barely do 10 sun salutations and now we plan to do 40 sun salutations next week.
