{:en} Yoga is a practice that balances body and mind; it can also be effective in weight loss. However, yoga is not directly like a cardio exercise that burns calories quickly but helps control weight more holistically. When done regularly, it can speed up metabolism, strengthen muscles, and contribute to weight management by balancing stress-related eating habits. Especially dynamic yoga types such as Vinyasa, Power Yoga, and Ashtanga Yoga increase calorie burning with brisk movement flows. These types support fat burning in the body by increasing the pulse and help tighten the muscles by strengthening them. Hatha Yoga, a calmer yoga practice, can help shape the body in...

{:en} People, Used for their beauty, Then cast aside… A sea of beauty flows in reverse, Against the rivers, Traveling backward Until no river remains… Dry, naked, In the bed of the river… Can you picture it? Would you? Among the forgotten, the ugly, In the bed of “discretion” … Time, discarded, Infinitely, definitely, Even “Time” gets old and turns ugly… And you, “My dear,” you say, Are in the sea of beauty. Will you come to me? To the bed of the discarded, Take my heart and soul, And make me yours? Beril Yabar {:}{:tr} İnsanlar, Güzellikleri için kullanılıp, Sonra bir kenara atılanlar… Bir güzellik denizi, tersine akıyor, Nehirlere karşı, Geriye doğru yolculuk ediyor Hiç nehir kalmayana dek… Kuru, çıplak, Nehir’in yatağında… Hayal edebilir misin? Eder miydin? Unutulmuşların, çirkinlerin arasında, “Terk edilmişlikler” yatağında… Zaman, atılmış, Sonsuz ve kesin, Zaman bile bir gün gelir, çirkinleşir… Ve sen,...

{:en} It’s summer June’s reign is just over. The sun is flooding  Through the shades, Casting unnatural shadows— through the blades of the blinds  Playing shadow games Against my curves. It is caressing my arms, Drawing lines across my stomach, Wrapping around my sun-kissed legs, Touching all but my face. As I lay here, Half-naked and free, While The sun dances with me,  I feel… nothing— Sorrow now fills the room, like the slow, thick drift of a Cuban cigar— sweet, smoky, and suffocating. Spilling from the dark side of  my face; the ‘ache’ lingers around  Just like  The decaying scent of my  Wretched soul…. This scent of death… The death of who I used to be. Sadness turns into pity As the ego leaves the room I now remember  How I pretended not to see/Their sins! For how I turned...

{:en} There is a certain beauty in being alone. A quiet dinner at home, a solo workout, a walk through the city without anyone to rush you. These moments of chosen solitude can feel like a reset. A way to hear your own thoughts without the noise of other voices. They are not about loneliness, but about presence. About enjoying your own company. And yet somewhere between a peaceful Friday night spent reading and another weekend passed without a single real conversation, the line begins to blur.The truth is, solitude is not measured in hours but in intention. Cooking alone after a long day might be nourishing...

{:en} At the end of spring that we've reached, I'm still living its very first day, I don't know rain, wind, or even September... Why, you ask? I've listened to sad songs, Seen many fall ill from the pain of parting, Witnessed countless fallen leaves, And so much more... Am I tired then? No, not that either, Perhaps it's my nature, Or maybe a plea from my heart! Don't mention Aragon to me! I'm in love and happy, Perhaps just to spite his poetry, In the first days of spring, I "live happily, happily!" Beril Yabar 09/09/2016 A brief explanation of the poem: The poet expresses a unique experience of spring, feeling as though they're continuously living its beginning. This is likely due to the emotional experiences...

{:en} As the days chase days and months chase months, we are in a “moment” where we come together again, so much so that if I were to ask you to talk about this “moment” now, what would be the first thing that comes to your mind? The very NOW that we are in, where neither the past nor the future has any place, where you are reading these lines! The 1989 movie “Dead Poets Society” directed by Peter Weir and starring Robin Williams as a teacher coincided with my teenage years. The movie was a big hit in those years and won the Academy Award for Best...

{:en} They say that how you start the new year is how it continues. That's why people usually start the year having fun. To make this year exciting, we decided to start in the city of excitement, New York, and then we went to the New England region. I was going to write this article earlier, but the festival got in the way, and I'm working on a new film project. Today is the day. Shall we start? New York at Christmas New York at Christmas is truly magnificent, everywhere is lit up and ready for Christmas! I must also mention that the weather is quite cold. If you are...
