MERVE SAGIROGLU (RCYT, E-RYT200, YACEP)

In 2017, I founded Monkinya; a yoga and mindfulness platform for children, families and educators. I am also a certified Mindfulness Teacher for Children in Method Eline Snel, trained by the Academy of Mindful Teaching. (qualified according to the internationally acknowledged Mindfulness-Based Teacher Assessment Criteria MBI-TAC). I hold a Bachelor's degree in Sociology from Bogazici University and currently studying Early Childhood Education at UBC in Canada with a passion for bringing yoga and mindfulness into the lives of children from an early age. I have a daughter named Iris (named after the Goddess of Rainbow in Greek mythology). After living in 3 different countries over the last decade, I am now settled in New Westminster with my family and bring my love for nature, art and mindfulness into every class I teach.
