Instructor Level
I’m a lifelong athlete turned coach and educator, splitting my time between Türkiye and Budapest. With a background as a licensed football player, competitive runner, and university sports instructor, I now focus on coaching half-marathon and trail runners and training athletes in functional fitness and Hyrox.
For over four years I’ve practiced the Wim Hof Method and more recently became an instructor. As both practitioner and teacher, I’ve seen how breathwork, cold exposure, and mindset work together to deepen resilience, sharpen focus, and elevate performance. I regularly combine functional breathing techniques with high-intensity training to help athletes unlock potential, recover smarter, and reach ambitious goals.
I’m passionate about sharing the Wim Hof Method because I believe it offers practical tools for healthier, happier lives. Through coaching and workshops, I bring evidence-informed practice, personal experience, and inspiring success stories to help more people discover what this method can do for their wellbeing and performance.
