Pilates Journey is a name earned through movement. Across the East, Europe and the United States, we have taught, studied and learned from different schools of Pilates. Each place has added something to the way we see the body—and the way we teach.
Founded by Ebru and Cagdas Kandemir, our studio brings that continuing journey into one dedicated learning experience. Comprehensive training through Balanced Body and BASI meets a background in sports medicine, exercise physiology and corrective exercise. Our next chapter is yours to explore.
CO-FOUNDER · INSTRUCTOR
Ebru Kandemir
For Ebru, movement has never been just a profession—it has been a lifelong constant. Years of competitive volleyball from childhood shaped her discipline, resilience, and understanding of what the body can achieve. With degrees in psychology and sociology, she brings an equally thoughtful understanding of the person behind the movement: how we learn, what motivates us, and how we build confidence.
Ebru completed comprehensive Pilates training and passed examinations through internationally recognized institutions including Balanced Body and BASI. As co-founder of Pilates Journey, she brings athletic experience, technical precision, and a human perspective to her teaching—helping people move with purpose, understand their bodies, and discover strength they can carry beyond the studio.
