#18 - Mystical Yoga Music - Yoga in Turkey with Egemen Sanli
from Wild Yoga Tribe · host Lily Allen-Duenas
Welcome to Episode #18 of the Wild Yoga Tribe Podcast! This week, I welcome Egemen Sanli onto the show. He is a yoga teacher from Turkey who is also an improvisational yoga musician who works at Google. As he explains in this episode, he is a Googler and also a Yoggler— the term that people who work at Google and practice Yoga call themselves! We talked about the the progression of yoga in Turkey from asana to subtler levels, about sufism, and about the pioneers of yoga in Istanbul. We also talked all about Ege’s path not just of yoga but of music as well, and how his improvisational yoga music becomes the heartbeat of a yoga class, a dynamic and alive element of yoga classes that can help even more in unifying and harmonizing a room full of yoga practitioners. If you want to take an inside peek into Ege’s journey to yoga—which actually was through music—as well as a look behind the scenes of Google tune into this podcast episode! Yoga in Turkey here we go! Tell me more about Egemen Sanli… Egemen Sanli—who goes by Ege—is a yoga teacher from Turkey. He is also a modern dervish traveling to find his own voice within world music, carrying the flag of his Turkish roots as a musician. Ege plays the sitar alongside other ethnic instruments (shamisen, saz, hang and handpan drums, banjo, flutes) and is able to bring out the mystic and invigorating qualities of all. He utilizes beats, loops, and tanpura machines to compliment his joyful improvisations based on traditional Eastern ragas. Ege lives in San Francisco and performs regularly in the Bay Area, he is also a certified yoga teacher from Turkey. What’s in the Turkey episode?
