"I learned that I can create everything I truly want in life."
In 1996, Aykut moved to the United States with big dreams. From working at gas stations and washing dishes to sleeping in parks and facing immigration struggles, every setback forced him to question his life from the ground up. In 2000, meeting his mentor, Darel Rutherford, changed the course of his life forever.
Today, Aykut divides his time between Los Angeles, Hawaii, and Turkey. Through live workshops, online programs, private coaching, and certification trainings, he helps thousands of people every year transform their lives.
"I learned not to wait for miracles, but to become one."
During her university years, Esra discovered Kundalini Yoga through her teacher, Gurmukh Kaur Khalsa. The practice transformed her life, helping her overcome depression, addiction, and a deep sense of aimlessness.
In 2003, she introduced Kundalini Yoga to Turkey. A decade later, she launched Turkey's first live online Kundalini Yoga studio, attracting more than 2,500 registrations for its very first class.
In 2004, Esra met her future husband, Aykut (Ike) Ogut, and his mentor, Darel Rutherford. Together, they began working with people from all walks of life. In 2009, Esra and Aykut joined forces full-time, pioneering a unique coaching approach in Turkey that eventually led to their highly regarded Life Coaching Certification Program.
In 2023, Esra launched her Kundalini Yoga Teacher Certification Program—the world's first certification to combine Kundalini Yoga and personal development into a single comprehensive training.
Our Mission & Vision
We spent years struggling, learning, and growing. Now, we're sharing it with you.
For years, we lived with the frustration of knowing we were capable of so much more, yet somehow never creating the life we envisioned.
Everything changed when we combined the wisdom we learned from our mentor, Darel Rutherford, with the lessons life itself had taught us. What followed felt nothing short of miraculous.
Our Intention
Our intention is simple.
- We want you to live the life you’ve always dreamed of.
- To witness your own miracles.
- To finally enjoy your favorite toys—whether that’s a home, a car, a sailboat, or whatever makes your heart smile.
- To discover what a peaceful, joyful, deeply fulfilling life truly feels like.
And most importantly… when you lay your head on the pillow each night, we hope you can smile and whisper to yourself, “Life is beautiful… I’m so happy.”
With love, on your journey,Ike & Esra
Promise. We Won’t Bug You. ✌️
