Ceylan Ayik Fitgourmet Yoga and Nutrition Coaching

My dharma is to support women in their wellness journey with Yoga, Ayurveda & Menopause Coaching. Hi! Life before coaching!

To find peace & harmony in their body, mind & spirit especially during menopause years, with natural methods and lifestyle changes. I am Ceylan Ayik, a certified Integrative Nutrition Healthy Living Coach and RYT 500hours Yoga Teacher, YACEP Trainer. I am passionate about empowering busy women to help them transform their mind, health and bodies through optimal nutrition, as well as guiding them

to become the healthy confident role model for their children, family and community. I received my training at Integrative Nutrition in New York City where I had the opportunity to learn from the world’s leading experts in the field of holistic health and nutrition. I received my 400 Hour Hatha and Power yoga teacher training in Switzerland, 100 hour Hatha Antastha in Goa, India. I did my 100hour Advanced Yoga Teacher Training on Body Reading and Anatomy in Nyon, Switzerland with Yogalife school. I also did 100hours of Advanced Training with Yogalife and 50hours of Yoga Nidra training in India. Alongside my busy family health coaching practice and yoga teaching, I am a mother of two, wife, writer for my Fit & Gourmet blog. I also lead workshops on nutrition and offer tailored private or group health coaching, as well as one-on-one health and nutrition coaching packages. Prior to my coaching life, I worked in the marketing departments of international companies. I was in the food and beverage industry for more than 15 years, did many new product launches and campaigns myself. I was a busy working mom, trying to manage my time among my family, house, work, sports, friends...you probably know the story. I changed so many habits that I would never think that I could! I was drinking almost a litre of Diet Coke, 3-4 cups of coffee, plus some black tea. I loved eating cheese and breads/crackers in the afternoon and always snacked in between meals with my "diet crackers"! Tried so many diets and usually disappointed with the results. I had a sedentary lifestyle, had no or just little time to exercise. I did my best for a healthier living yet struggled to keep it consistent. Through my coaching and yoga training, I finally enjoy a healthier lifestyle, consistent and pleasurable for myself and my family. By working together we will discover the food and lifestyle choices that best support you and your family. Getting this kind of support to transition your family to a healthy lifestyle is the best commitment you will ever make (trust me I know, because I have done it!).

🍫 Chocolate, Banana & Date Cake 🤎 Gluten-free, dairy-free, refined sugar-free, rich in fiber and naturally protein-rich (and easy to make high-protein!)

This is one of those recipes I never make exactly the same way twice… and somehow it always turns out delicious!

👉 Comment “CACAO” and I’ll send the detailed recipe to you.

🤎 Once you know the base recipe, you can create endless variations depending on what you have at home. Naturally sweetened with bananas and Medjool dates, it’s packed with wholesome ingredients and makes the perfect healthy breakfast, dessert, or pre-/post-workout snack.

Nutrition (approx.)

🤎 Whole cake (without protein powder):

* Protein: ~48–52 g
* Fiber: ~38–42 g

🤎 With 1 scoop of protein powder:

* Protein: ~73–82 g
* Fiber remains approximately 38–42 g

Per slice (8 slices):

🏃🏻‍♀️I started running for a while and now regularly (2/3 times a week) in the last 2 months. I already started to see the benefits in my strength and overall fitness.

🏃🏻‍♀️I started taking it more seriously when I learned about the loss of bone density due to menopause.

Our skeleton needs impact from exercises like running, jumping, hiking in order to keep its density against the losses when estrogen and progesterone starts to drop as we age.

I started really from the beginning and now can run about 6km without a walk break! Working with coaches like and experts groups like gives me structure and guidance to make it happen without injury.

🧘🏻‍♀️And of course my yoga practice is the most important part of pre/post stretching and mobility works.

🙋🏻‍♀️My aim is to be able to run 10k in the coming autumn first and then see how far I can go. And my ultimate goal is to hike the mountains with less pain and more enjoyment!

🙋🏻‍♀️Sharing these with you in case you were considering to start running and have hesitations. Work with a coach or program first and see the results yourself.

🙋🏻‍♀️Tell me please are you a runner? Do you want to become a runner? What stops you from doing it?

It’s been a long love story… me & granola. 😂

My Vata side has always craved crunchy foods, and granola has been my secret love for years.

In Ayurveda, crunchy, dry foods are best balanced with something warm and moist to help prevent bloating, gas, and dryness. That’s why I never eat granola on its own.

This version is packed with rolled oats, lentil & soy flakes, pistachios, cashews, seeds, cacao, orange, warming spices, and colorful freeze-dried berries. Crunchy, nourishing and surprisingly high in protein.

✨ I love it:
• after a protein-rich breakfast as a little dessert
• as a pre-workout snack
• sprinkled over homemade protein ice cream 🍨

My granola formula:

🥣 Mix rolled oats with any flakes you love (quinoa, millet, lentil, soy, pea…)

🌰 Add plenty of nuts & seeds (cashews, pistachios, pumpkin, sunflower, sesame, flax, chia…)

🥥 Warm together coconut oil (or ghee), cacao, cinnamon, cardamom, vanilla, orange zest & juice, and a pinch of sea salt. Pour over the dry mix and coat everything well.

🔥 Bake at 130°C for about 1 hour, stirring every 20 minutes until evenly golden and crispy.

❄️ Cool completely before storing in an airtight jar.

👌🏼Ayurveda tip: Enjoy it with yogurt, warm stewed fruit, or milk rather than eating it dry.

🤎 Crunchy. Colorful. Protein-rich. Homemade with love.

⛰️🤎Mountains are my happy place, my dream, my goal, my passion.

Coming from a big city, growing up between building blocks of cement, never knew how much I belong to here.

Or wait, I think there were some signs! I created a “mountain club” when I was about 7-8 years old, in the middle of Istanbul, to organize my friends to “climb” our tiny hill in our neighborhood😂
Oh well then, somethings never change and keeps manifesting when the time is right!

💪🏼Mountains keep me strong, young and active. I need to workout regularly to be able to go up and down +1000m during our hikes. I have to eat enough protein to keep up the muscles that want to go away as I age.

I value more about keeping up my hikes than how I look as I age, even though I loved our fashion show with my mountain sister Derya Gedikli ! Bringing a style to our hikes was so much fun!

✨Finding a passion, a purpose in life is much stronger than a simple motivation for healthy living.

👊🏼I workout 3 times per week, do and/or teach yoga everyday, and now even started running so that I get stronger.

All for the being able to do this for as long as possible 🙏🏼🧿

Have you got something like this? Please share with me🙏🏼

Thanks to my amazing husband, family and friends who support me in this journey and my mountain guide Derya Gedikli who made the best hiking trip possible this last month!
Andrea Freely to be our inspiration for strength and resilience, Paulina | Holistic Massage | EFT | Anxiety | Geneva for beautiful adventures and pictures!

Can’t wait for the next adventures this time with Ruta Mikulenaite ⛰️Trekking & Mountain Retreats in🇨🇭🇱🇹 🥳

🥳And that’s a wrap! We did our Spring Cleanse preps, spice mixes, chutneys, ghee and delicious kitchary with mung bean breads🥳 Ended with amaranth porridge in “halva” style. Talked about fundamentals of Ayurveda, how to do a gentle detox in this season to help our bodies to send the toxins away.

🥹💕Love these cooking classes, where we get together, share our experiences, our challenges and our intentions, in a very supportive and motivating atmosphere. We are inspired from each other and now ready to rock the spring.🥳

🙋🏻‍♀️

Do you want me to organize a new Cooking Class in May? How about Ayurvedic Turkish mezzes (tapas) and salads? Let me know if you’re interested.

🙏🏼🧑🏻‍🍳I love teaching Ayurvedic Cooking so much! It gives me such a joy to see how people enjoy learning to play with spices, ingredients that they are not familiar, try different cooking techniques, and create recipes that they never thought they could do.

🙏🏼❤️Here is a lovely couple who had two Ayurvedic classes with me and here is their reflection.:

“Our cooking sessions with Ceylan was a true revelation.
She guided us through Ayurvedic Indian cooking with such warmth and playfulness that learning became effortless, making every step feel accessible, joyful, and inspiring.
We left not only with new recipes, but with a new way of approaching food.
What surprised us most was how naturally we could put everything into practice afterwards — our first dinner with friends was a real success.

We left inspired and confident, and we will certainly continue exploring this beautiful culinary approach.

Ceylan’s teaching style is fun, generous, and uplifting. We recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone who wants to cook with more intention, flavour, and joy.”

🥹It was such an honor and pleasure to meet and cook with them.

🙏🏼I am also very proud to say that I learned from the best teachers in Ayurveda and Ayurvedic cooking, and

🧑🏻‍🍳Come and join me this Saturday, 25.04.26 at 10:30-14:30 at my place for another Cooking Class.

This time it is just before the online 10 Day Spring detox program starts so you can learn all basic recipes before you start.

✨When was the last time you did something just for yourself?

Not for your family.
Not for your work.
Not for your responsibilities.

Just for you.

Many women I meet tell me the same thing:
“I would love to take time for myself… but there is always something else that comes first.”

We give a lot.
We care for many.
And slowly, without even noticing, we place ourselves at the very end of the list.

✨But something magical happens when women gather together.

I felt it deeply during our retreat in Goa.
The sisterhood, the openness, the support between women who had sometimes just met… yet felt like they had known each other for years.

It reminded me how powerful it is when we create space to simply be ourselves.

With Women’s Day approaching, I wanted to offer something special to the women in this community.

🌸 A small gift: special retreat conditions available until Monday.

An invitation to give yourself one week of:

✨ yoga and meditation
✨ nourishing and delicious food
✨ soulful conversations
✨ laughter and connection
✨ rest, nature and renewal

📍 Retreat Center, Andalusia (Spain)
🗓 **9–16 May**

One of the most beautiful retreat centers in Europe, surrounded by peaceful nature and Andalusian sunshine.

✨If your heart has been whispering that you need a pause…
maybe this is your moment.

I would love to share this week with you.

With love💕

Tell me in the comments: when was the last time you truly took a week for yourself?

03/03/2026

I have just returned from a beautiful yoga retreat in Goa, a place that always reminds me how powerful it is to pause, breathe, and reconnect with ourselves.

This experience was even more meaningful because this year marks a special milestone for me — my 10th year of practicing and sharing yoga.

Ten years of learning.

Ten years of transformation.

Ten years of guiding women toward balance.

I am grateful for every moment of it with you all.

And with this new chapter, I’m excited to share a few things that are coming this spring. I hope you can enjoy the discount on classes, Upcoming retreat in Spain, new Women’s Balance Academy access to all of you, upcoming Cleanse and Cooking Workshop.
