Testimonials

Saskia

Physiotherapist, Belgium

"I am so happy that I took this course and read Deniz' book! I got so much more knowledge and new insights about depression and anxiety. The sequences and exercises are very accessible and so enjoyable! I've been applying the practices with my patients---I'm a physiotherapist---and I notice that they help my patients on a deeper level. So I can definitely recommend this course and book to anyone who works with patients."

Anna

Psychologist, Czech Republic

"I really love the gentle way with which Deniz guides you through the classes and the exercises were just perfect. I did the first class before going to bed and I had such a good sleep and woke up with a complete feeling of deep relaxation. Thank you so much for that!"

Pia

Yoga Teacher, Austria

"Thank you!!! I am super interested in working with the mind and emotions through Yoga and will definitely use it in my own work. But also for myself: I have always struggled with depression and the whole covid situation made it worse and I've been experiencing high levels of anxiety. Your course and book have helped me understand whats going on and how I can tailor my Yoga practice according to my symptoms. Thank you."

Hi, I'm Deniz


I’m a therapeutic yoga teacher and criminologist and I specialize in yoga and somatics for mental health.

I’m the creator of Somatic Yoga for Mental Health, founder of the 100h Somatic Yoga for Mental Health Teacher Training Program, and author of Messages from the Deep: Calm Anxiety & Lift Depression with Yoga and the Elements.

Aside from my body-oriented therapeutic work, I work in the forensic mental health field. As the COSA coördinator for Brussels, I organize, lead, and provide training on Circles of Support and Accountability.

Yoga Teacher Support Groups

Are you a yoga teacher and would you like to connect with like-minded teachers all over the world? We run 2 monthly support groups.

Mental Health Support Circle. This support group is for yoga teachers to support each other through their personal challenges. If you struggle with anxiety, burnout, depression, stress, or anything else and would like to be part of a supportive and warm network of yoga teachers, join our meetings.

Intervision Group. This support group is for yoga teachers who specialize in yoga for mental health. It's the perfect place to bounce ideas off each other, ask for input and advice, and discuss challenges with students and clients. To join this group, you need to have graduated from a Somatic Yoga for Mental Teacher Training program (at least 20h), or be a certified yoga therapist.
