Dilek has trained with Body Control Pilates and upon qualifying was invited to teach at the Pure Gym in London where she teaches group classes and 1:1 sessions. After finishing her training with BCP she decided to extend her curriculum by joining Reformer Pilates programme with Polestar Pilates.

Dilek discovered Pilates as a young sociology student. After graduating from Hacettepe University, she went on to have a professional career in the Ministry of Social Service in Istanbul.

In 2011 Dilek was diagnosed with a scoliosis and therefore has firsthand experience of how beneficial pilates can be when integrated into one’s life. Not only has pilates helped her to manage and maintain a healthy body, but it has also empowered her in all aspects of her life. If you suffer from scoliosis you may wish to try Pilates to strengthen the muscles involved with breathing – the diaphragm and accessory muscles.

Dilek enjoys teaching Pilates to everybody, no matter what their fitness level or previous experience they had.

She is constantly fascinated by the changes that Pilates can bring to all physiques and loves helping clients prevent injuries and regain the quality of life by building a strong confidence within physical and mental aspects of the self.
