ABOUT TRAINING:
Our yoga tutorials are not limited to teaching yoga instruction alone; they are a transformative journey aimed at profoundly altering your life.
OmSiva Yoga School employs a traditional teaching approach that harmoniously merges timeless philosophical and anatomical wisdom from the origins of yoga with the latest research in yoga education, keeping it relevant to our modern age.
Training documents are completely prepared by our school. Within these books, our principal instructor, Nadia, generously shares her wealth of knowledge and experience cultivated over the years.
Through our school’s unique referencing approach, you will grasp yoga principles through a tactile, experiential process rather than rote memorization.
This program encompasses a comprehensive array of topics, including anatomy, philosophy, chakras, breathwork, meditation, teaching methodologies, and asana alignments. All these aspects are explored through hands-on experience, reference materials, and practical integration into daily life.
OmSiva Yoga School adheres to the standards set by Yoga Alliance across all of its training programs.



This program is for;
- Those who have never done yoga before and want to learn yoga
- Those who are already practicing yoga and who want to deepen or specialize in yoga
- Those who want to follow the philosophy of yoga in their daily life
- Those who want to be teachers and guides who transfer yoga to others (Our trainings also have modules that include yoga as a profession. At the end of the training, our students can start giving yoga lessons)

Meet the Instructor
NADİYE GULKAN TÜRKDOĞRU
Nadiye’s yoga journey began in childhood, inspired by her mother’s yoga books. Years later, while pursuing her career as an engineer, she discovered the profound transformation yoga brought into her life. This realization led her to India, where she trained at Sivananda and in Rishikesh, earning advanced Yoga Alliance certifications.
Today, she is recognized as one of the few internationally certified yoga therapists, uniquely blending yogic wisdom with her strong academic background in electrical engineering and her ongoing PhD studies.
As the founder of OmSiva Yoga, Nadiye has created more than a studio—she has built a welcoming community where students are embraced not as clients but as blessings. For her, yoga therapy goes beyond healing; it is a journey of transformation. And on that journey, she continues to learn, grow, and inspire others. 🌸
