About FlexFlow Yoga

Our journey, mission, and the passionate team behind our practice

Our Story

FlexFlow Yoga Journey

FlexFlow Yoga began in 2012 as a small community studio in Erzincan, Turkey, founded by Seda Yilmaz after her transformative experiences studying yoga across India, Thailand, and Europe. What started as intimate classes for a handful of dedicated practitioners has evolved into one of Turkey's leading online yoga education platforms.

Our journey reflects our core philosophy: that yoga should be accessible to everyone, regardless of location, background, or experience level. When the global pandemic shifted the landscape of yoga instruction in 2020, we embraced the opportunity to reimagine how yoga education could be delivered, creating an innovative online platform that maintains the personalized attention and community feel of in-person instruction.

Today, FlexFlow serves thousands of students across Turkey and beyond, offering comprehensive courses that blend traditional yogic wisdom with contemporary teaching approaches. Our team has expanded to include specialists in various aspects of yoga, from alignment experts to meditation teachers, all united by a commitment to authentic, transformative practice.
