About Us
Nagi Academy
Founded in 2015 in İzmit under the name “Nagi Center for Healthy Living and Arts”, Nagi Academy was established by our founder Nagihan Yiğit, who aimed to create a unique movement academy in Turkey by blending the elegance of ballet and modern dance with disciplines such as yoga, pilates, zumba, and Bungee Fly®.
Starting her dance journey at a young age, Yiğit enriched her path with advanced training from pioneering experts in Turkey and abroad. She received her Bungee Fly® and Zumba® trainings directly from the founders of these disciplines and introduced Bungee Fly® to Turkey. By specializing in pilates, yoga, hammock yoga, prenatal yoga, scolio pilates, pelvic floor therapy, world dances, Franklin Method®, and advanced training techniques, she developed her own comprehensive training system.
Today, Nagi Academy continues to inspire individuals of all levels and future instructors with class programs infused with this unique expertise, original equipment, an art-based approach to movement, a professional atmosphere, and a community-driven spirit.
Our Vision is to support mind-body balance, increase physical capacity, and sustainably enhance quality of life against the inactivity and stress of modern times, through movement practices aligned with human nature.
Located in the heart of İzmit, our studio is not only a place of training but also a space for transformation, inspiration, and community. Our instructor training programs, welcoming candidates from all over Turkey and abroad, stand out in the field.
Welcome to an academy that listens to you, understands you, and helps you grow — every step of the way.

Our Story
It All Began with a Dream…
What started as a child who grew up with art and breathed through movement, slowly transformed into a passion to share this love with others. Nagihan Yiğit set out to bring together the discipline of ballet, the freedom of modern dance, and the deep wisdom of the body through diverse movement systems.
In 2015, she founded Nagi Center for Healthy Living and Arts in İzmit — not just a studio, but a living space where dance, yoga, pilates, and authentic movement merged. Over time, this space grew, evolved, and transformed into an academy: Nagi Academy.
Nagihan Yiğit trained with world-renowned teachers in disciplines such as Bungee Fly®, Zumba®, prenatal yoga, Franklin Method®, pelvic floor therapy, scoliosis pilates, and many more. By blending these methods with her own body wisdom, she developed her own approach — one that, in every class, invites not only movement but also feeling, understanding, and transformation.
Today, Nagi Academy is a place where individuals can grow not only physically but also mentally and spiritually — a center where the spirit of community thrives, and everyone feels “special” and truly “seen.” Through its classes, certification programs, and workshops, the academy continues to inspire participants from across Turkey and around the world.
