About
Born in 1993, Duygu grew up in dance. At Städtische Musikschule Kulmbach in Germany, studying with Evgeny Kalinov, she trained in ballet and jazz — building foundations in technique, musicality and body awareness.
After moving to Istanbul, she reignited her passion working with valued teachers of the Istanbul State Opera and Ballet: Ayça Anıl, Deniz Kılınç, Erhan Güzel and Mehmet Arkan.
She also attended workshops with artists such as Melih Mertel and İlke Kodal, deepening her understanding of the aesthetics and expression of movement.
Over time her approach became a unique style combining ballet technique, awareness and body sculpting. Yoga Teacher Training with Chris Chavez gave her a deeper vision of breath, alignment and mindfulness.
The CPD-accredited Barre Instructor Program created by Josie McKinley allowed her to unite the elegance of dance with functional movement.
Today, with more than seven years of experience and a lifelong ballet discipline, Duygu offers a musical, graceful and mindful approach in every class — creating an experience that is both aesthetic and strengthening.
