    Yogi Kazım Gürbüz’s Story
    (Bilkent University, 2020) Mustafa, M. Salman; Ahsan, Rao; Adnan, Wajahat; Valehli, Fikrat; Hajarat, Selina
    Kazım Gürgüz is not considered to be the typical human; he defied all stereotypes and odds by reaching the age of one hundred, and still lives a life of a thirty-year-old. He has always been regarded as a peculiar child, being labeled as different from the early age of 10. His long-lived life has challenged him on numerous occasions, from fatal injuries to ridicule from people, but he persevered and founded the first yoga studio in Turkey. However, his approach to this practice is not simply for health purposes. He claims it involves the spiritual, mental, physical, as well as emotional state. “Yo ka” is a system that Yogi Kazım Gürgüz started for the sole purpose of enabling the body to live young and healthy, while putting the mind at ease and connecting deeper with the soul.
