For all the yogi families out there: the Sampoorna Yoga Studio kids yoga classes are on a summer break, but find out here about the plans for the autumn semester:
There will be two kids yoga groups, both for ages 4-7.
Saturdays at 11:30-12:30, with Samira, in French.
Sundays at 10:30-11:30, with Laura, in Dutch.
The semester starts on 22/23 September and comprises of 13 classes. There are no kids classes during school holidays.
What makes the Sampoorna yoga kids classes extra interesting are the parallel adults classes, suitable for all levels. While kids are having fun in their playful yoga class downstairs, parents can practice yoga in the adults class upstairs.
Parents can benefit from an Accompanying Adult subscription (same price as kids for 13 classes), or use their regular Sampoorna Yoga Studio pass.

Hopefully we’ll meet in class(es), or otherwise in the new school year.
FYI: in case you are pregnant, please inform me prior to attending the class, you can participate without a problem, but I’ll need to point out some alternatives forPranayama, the sun salutations, as well as for some asanas.
Since 2010, a bunch of very motivated yogins in Brussels organize the Yoga Mala around the Summer Solstice. All participants donate some money and all the proceeds go to a charity. Why 108 ? Good question, Shiva Rea has written a beautiful article about it, read it here.
So please join in on Sunday morning, 17 June 2018, as the Yoga community comes together for the 9th time in a celebration of the unity of Yoga to raise money for charity (cause still to be decided).
As we welcome the Summer Solstice let us offer our gratitude to life by saluting and honouring the Sun. We will practice a Yoga Mala, a prayer in motion of 108 rounds of Surya Namaskara (Sun Salutations).
The practice will be a meditative flow, and whether we as individuals are able to do 1 or 108 rounds, the importance lies in our participation and intention – as a collective we will complete the Mala. There will be different teachers leading the rounds of Surya Namaskar, the practice is the Sivananda Hatha Yoga tradition.
Being there together in a spirit of loving-kindness, peace and joy is what it’s all about. And who knows what wonders will come from that…
The event is family-friendly, so children, partners and grandparents are warmly welcome. There will be Yoga for kids in parallel with the Mala, and other fun activities. Tea and biscuits for after!
You can also make a difference, so come and make it happen together with the Brussels’ yoga community.
