testimonial

yoga teacher training facilitator

I had the privilege of being taught by Irem during a yoga teacher training with Ancestral Retreats, and her classes were truly transformative. From vinyasa to yoga nidra and guided meditation, she brings versatility, depth and a light-hearted, approachable presence to everything she teaches.

Each class was meticulously planned and delivered with genuine care and passion. Irem creates a space where everyone feels seen, supported and free to explore their practice at their own pace — so much so that there was often a shared reluctance to let the class end.

I was especially impressed by her ability to seamlessly weave philosophy and mindfulness into the physical practice, making each session holistic and deeply nourishing for both body and mind. It is clear that she is not only a skilled teacher, but a lifelong student of yoga.

Beyond her technical skills, Irem carries a natural warmth and kindness that make her incredibly approachable. I wholeheartedly recommend her classes and workshops to anyone seeking depth, ease and inspiration in their practice.

webdesign & branding

Working with Irem on my project to bring to life and out into the world my wellbeing brand was a real Godsend. I initially started working with someone else, and stopped the collaboration as I felt they didn’t get me. That’s when Irem came in to save the day. We connected from the very call, and I felt a deep sense of being understood and met in my needs. Irem was able to beautifully evolve my project from an idea to its execution in a way that felt natural, right, honest, real, collaborative and very supportive. And above all – the outcome is truly beautiful aesthetically and also on point technically. She’s got that unique skillset of bringing together the worlds of beauty and creativity with technology. I am deeply grateful to her for our collaboration and couldn’t recommend her more to others in the wellness, wellbeing, coaching, or healing modalities space, who are looking to bring their brand to life. Gracias!

I’m forever greatful for having had the chance to take part in a 7 day retreat in Colombia with you, dear Irem! Your vibrant energy is VIDA PURA! With your strong presence (I will never forget your words «strong spine, soft heart»), your natural caring for each one of us during the retreat, your singing and chanting, your soothing meditations and your dynamic and powerful daily yoga practice you were a huge part of my healing journey. I love how you love what you are doing, how you put your heart into it and how joyfully you share your wisdom, knowledge and practice. Thank you for your reassuring smiles and words when I was passing through a rough time. I will be looking forward to discovering more about life and myself in a future retreat or online yoga classes with you!

webdesign, branding, manual

Building a beautiful website is easy. But to find someone who breathes a soul into this website, someone who understands what it really takes to bring out the best in the product or service – that takes someone like Irem Bilen. Irem knows her craft, but also has a feeling for the subtle language of design. She understands how to respond to the needs of her customers and how to create something unique and outstanding. She also designed the logo of our company and hit our taste exactly. For us as facilitators of retreats and yoga teacher trainings, she created a website (Ancestralretreats.com) and logo that express exactly how we want to present ourselves and how we want to approach our participants. After the successful creation of the website, we also commissioned her to design our Yoga Teacher Manual. For a certified yoga teacher training, you need a manual in which the students can find all the information relevant to the lesson. Irem took over the design for the 300-page manual and made it ready for us to print. The Ancestral Retreats team and our clients love the cooperate design Irem created. Irem Bilen’s skill is exceptional. I can highly recommend her services.

My personal journey
back home.

my journey

I’m Irem. Over the past years, I’ve lived, studied and worked across different cultures, gathering experience in movement, breath, sound and design.

Along the way, one thing became clear to me: real change doesn’t come from fixing or bypassing ourselves, but from learning how to be present with what is; in the body, the nervous system and daily life.

Today, I bring together structured practices and intuitive approaches, creating spaces that are grounded, honest and transformative, without performance or pressure.

My work brings together somatic practices, breath, sound and digital design to support embodiment, authentic expression and clarity.

Rooted in presence and practicality, it invites depth that can be integrated into everyday life.
