Duygu Aykol

Duygu is an RYT 500 certified yoga instructor with over 15 years of dedicated personal practice.
She completed her 500-hour training in 2024 and is currently deepening her studies through a
1000-hour advanced teacher training program at Breathe Together Yoga.

Aerial yoga has become a meaningful focus in her teaching journey. She began her aerial
studies in 2024 with the Aerial Basics & Beyond training led by Sarah Khayat at Breathe
Together Yoga. In 2025, she completed Aerial Yoga Level 1 training at Trilogy Sanctuary in San
Diego, followed by an aerial mentorship program with Sarah Khayat to further refine her
technical skills, safety awareness, and creative sequencing.

Her aerial classes blend strength, mobility, and intelligent alignment with moments of play and
exploration. Students can expect thoughtful progressions, clear instruction, and a supportive
environment that builds confidence both on the mat and in the hammock.

In addition to Aerial, Duygu teaches Tapas, Vinyasa Flow, and Yin. Her background in dance
and fine arts informs her creative sequencing, while her interest in biomechanics supports
sustainable, body-aware movement. Her personal practice is rooted in Ashtanga, bringing
steadiness and flow into her classes. Duygu believes yoga should honor each individual body
and invites students to move in a way that feels intelligent, empowering, and sustainable.
