Reflexology, the first step
Orçun began studying reflexology in 2006, deepening his interest in attentive touch and the body's responses.
Welcome to
Yeyman Ayurveda & Wellness
Yeyman Ayurveda & Wellness is a personal practice shaped by years of study, teaching and hands-on work across Türkiye, India and Southeast Asia. It brings the ancient knowledge of Ayurveda into a contemporary setting through individual sessions and gatherings. Each meeting begins with attention to how a person is living now and what kind of support may be useful to them.
Our approach to Ayurveda
Where spirituality meets science
Within Ayurveda, wellbeing is understood in relation to the whole of life: food and digestion, sleep, the seasons, the environment, emotional life and daily rhythm. At Yeyman Ayurveda & Wellness, these traditional ideas become questions to explore together and practices that can be adapted to real circumstances. The focus is on the whole person, clear explanations and practical ideas people can carry into everyday life.
Consultations offer time to explore habits and priorities. Bodywork offers individual care and ongoing communication, while cooking and sound provide ways to learn through direct experience. Each has its own purpose and is shaped around the person or group taking part.
"My work is an invitation to notice what your body is asking for, and to meet it with simplicity, consistency and care."
Journey
From Varanasi to Kaş
Orçun’s interest in traditional healing practices began in childhood, while watching his grandmother practise cupping. Over time, she passed this practice on to him. In later years, he turned to reflexology and travelled to India to deepen and structure his studies. There, he studied Indian classical music, Ayurveda and teaching. Today, his private work in Kaş and Antalya, community projects in Hatay, and trainings and gatherings in Southeast Asia bring these experiences together.
2010–2013
Indian classical music
During his years in Varanasi, he studied Indian classical music, particularly bansuri at the Faculty of Performing Arts of Banaras Hindu University and tabla through Prayag Sangeet Samiti. The bansuri remains part of the sound journeys he leads today.
His studies in musicology deepened his curiosity about the relationship between sound, frequency, vibration and human experience. He explored how melodies and musical modes resonate with our emotions and bodily sensations, and how music can support relaxation and a sense of inner calm. Sound and vibration also offered him a way to reflect on the interconnected nature of life. As he went on to study Ayurveda, this curiosity helped shape a holistic approach that connects different traditions and fields of knowledge.
2013
Ayurveda in Dharamshala
In 2013, he undertook advanced Ayurveda practitioner training at Ayuskama Ayurveda Institute in Dharamshala under Dr. Arun Sharma. Over the following years, Orçun worked alongside Dr. Sharma at the clinic and institute, observing consultations, carrying out treatments under his guidance and teaching practical classes. He also studied marma points with Dr. Vinod Kumar in Rishikesh.
2014–2015
Teaching in Bir
At Namlang Himal Resort, Dhanvantaram Health Centre in Bir, Himachal Pradesh, Orçun managed the centre and taught introductory Ayurveda and therapy methods to local students. He hosted guests from Europe and conducted Ayurvedic therapies for guests with his students at the centre.
2019–2020
Teaching in Goa
From 2019 to 2020, he served as guest faculty at Trimurti Yoga in South Goa, introducing Ayurveda within 200-hour and 300-hour yoga teacher training programmes. His classes have covered daily and seasonal living, lifestyle practices, yoga philosophy and awareness. He also explores how yoga and Ayurveda, often described as sister sciences, can be brought together in practice and teacher training.
2026
Projects in Southeast Asia
In Vietnam, he facilitated Ritucharya workshops exploring seasonal living and offered private reflexology sessions. At Mandala Wellness, he led the Women’s Wisdom workshop and offered Ayurvedic consultations, reflexology and Abhyanga. In collaboration with Hannah, he also facilitated moon gatherings, guided meditation, sound journeys and workshops.
In Chiang Mai, Thailand, Orçun supported Objects of Memory and Desire at Fah Lanna Art Museum by coordinating with the museum, designing the event poster, observing and documenting the workshop, and playing live bansuri while participants worked.
In Practice
A way of working
Whether in a private appointment or a classroom, Orçun begins by listening. He respects the depth of the traditions he studies, speaks plainly about what he offers and looks for ways to make each experience useful beyond the session itself.
A note on images
Photography from my journey
The photographs throughout this website reflect places, people and moments from my life and practice, from Varanasi, Dharamshala and Kaş to Southeast Asia. They include my own photography alongside images of my work.
A Rhythm Deepens with Continuity
One session can offer a complete restorative pause. With continuity, there is time to notice your response, refine the focus and adapt the work as your needs change.
01
A Restorative Pause
A single session can stand on its own, offering time to slow down, settle and reconnect with how you feel.
02
Flexible Series
When helpful, sessions can continue as a short series, with the timing and focus adjusted as the work unfolds.
03
Observe, Refine, Integrate
Continuity allows us to notice responses over time, refine what is useful and carry supportive practices into everyday routines.
My consultations offer education and wellbeing guidance. They do not provide medical diagnosis or replace medical care.
