Testimonials
I’ve recently completed a three week beginners course with Ezgi at Canterbury Yoga Shala. I’d thoroughly recommend anyone starting or returning to yoga to do the same. Ezgi is a great teacher, seriously dedicated to her practice and a master at instructing in a clear and positive way.

So happy I signed up for this course! Yoga can sometimes seem intimidating, but Ezgi makes you feel comfortable from the moment you arrive, walking you through the steps at your own pace, with instructions that are easy to understand. The classes were truly a moment’s peace in a busy week for me – can’t wait to do more!

Lovely studio, welcoming and warm. Ezgi is a fantastic Ashtanga teacher and I love my classes with her. I am new to the Mysore style but feel that I will definitely benefit from regularly joining in. I can highly recommend yogashala- for beginners and advanced students as well.

Returning to my Yoga practice after years of absence, Ezgi’s Ashtanga Vinyasa practice has been a revelation. The pairing of the Mysore (assisted self-practice) and Guided classes is so rewarding. I am feeling benefits to my physical and mental wellbeing week on week. Ezgi teaches with clear direction, precision, good humour and great adjustments! Highly recommended.
