Esra Banguoglu started
practicing yoga in 1998-99. After completing the Kundalini
Teacher’s Training at Golden Bridge and receiving her
certification from Gurmukh Kaur Khalsa in 2002 she was blessed
as Fateh Kaur by Yogi Bhajan, the master of Kundalini Yoga.
Fateh Kaur means the Princess of Victory. She started teaching
initially at Covenant House, a non-profit center designed to
keep 18 to 21 year olds off the streets followed by various
other centers such as Golden Bridge, Divine Motion, PH 7 and
Hollywood Gym, in Los Angeles. Aiming to carry these wonderful
teachings of Kundalini yoga back to her own country, she went to
Turkey, Istanbul in 2003 and moved back in 2006 to begin
teaching at Yoga Sala. As the co-founder of Ay-ra organization,
she is still teaching kundalini yoga, life-coaching and
organizing workshops in both Istanbul and Los Angeles. She
periodically bring teachers such as Gurmukh, Mahan Rishi, Jorge
Luis Delgado to Istanbul.
The most important
understanding that Yogi
Bhajan and Gurmukh have taught me is that “We are not human
beings trying to have a spiritual experience but spiritual
beings trying to have a human experience”. Yogi Bhajan.
