Hasan Gökbora

Hasan was introduced to yoga in July 2013 at YogaŞala. For about a year he continued his practice in various yoga styles, and in the summer of 2014, he began practicing Ashtanga with Ken the Rolfer. At the end of that year, to gain more knowledge and experience in yoga, he completed the 200-hour Yoga Alliance accredited Fundamental of Yoga Training Program at YogaŞala under the guidance of Ürün Kurtiç.

Later, in order to deepen his Ashtanga practice and share this experience with others Hasan participated in Canan Özalp’s Ashtanga Mentorship Program. In 2016 Hasan attended David Swenson’s 40-hour Ashtanga Yoga Teacher Training.

While continuing to teach Ashtanga, Hasan also completed a 300-hour Yoga Alliance accredited Advanced Teacher Training with a focus on therapeutic applications in yoga with Hart Lazer in 2017.

Throughout this journey, Hasan had the opportunity to work with many Ashtanga teachers, including Hamish Hendry, Pia Lehtinen, Petri Raisanen, Harmony Slater, Laruga Glaser, Dylan Bernstein, Lucas Carvalho, Gillian Mooney, Heather Serna, and Oswald Li. Hasan has been teaching Ashtanga Yoga since 2015.
