Last month, I started teaching in person classes again. It’s really nice to see students in real life and be able to connect and correct their postures. One person told me they ‘work harder’ when it’s a live class, that made me laugh out loud.
In May, I’ll be teaching several open classes, I sure hope to see you in a few, or all, of my classes.
The news you have been waiting for! Practice Sampoorna yoga face-to-face with your trusted teacher team in 2022. We invite you to our new once-a-month Sampoorna Yoga Days in Brussels. These mini-retreats (10:00-15:30) are uplifting immersions into the practice of yoga, suitable for all levels.
Each time, the program includes: hatha yoga chanting & meditation sattvic (yogic vegetarian) lunch yin or restorative yoga

The venue will be confirmed shortly. We ❤️ to share yoga with you!
Are you interested to join a live yoga class? As from mid-November 2021 I’ll organise hybrid sessions in Elsene/ Ixelles (nearby Porte de Namur/ Naamsepoort).
Hybrid session: means I’ll teach in a room with some students present physically in the room & simultaneously streaming the session to those who prefer to attend at home (or elsewhere).
Prerequisites to join the class live in the room : a yoga mat & a Covid Safe Pass/ Ticket.
The number of students that can join physically will be limited so registrations need to be done timely (first come, first join).
If you have any questions, feel free to send me a message.
If you want to sign up, fill out this short survey.
In August we offer a promotional rate of just 10€/drop-in. Join us in the beautiful Sampoorna Yoga Studio space while you can, feel the good vibes, meet your favourite teachers in-person!
Hopefully you’re all doing well and still also managed to practice yoga.

Important informationregarding Sampoorna Yoga Studio
The studio must remain closed until 15 January2021, according to the current restrictions. At the same time we continue paying rent, we have monthly bills for electricity, water, IT systems, insurance, etc. We want to pay our teachers fair rates for their online classes, and as a compassionate gesture we continue to pay our cleaning lady even if there is no work. How to pay for all this when the studio is closed? That’s the question!
We are making savings wherever we can – cancelling unnecessary contracts, negotiating prices – and we thought that you, as our loyal students, might like to join in a team effort to keep the studio going over the lockdown period – so that as soon as we can open again, you will be able to enjoy classes with your trusted teachers in our warm and welcoming studio.
Purchase an extra yoga pass (or two) now, even if you use them later – the validity is now 1 year
Give a gift voucher to your family and friends (perfect Christmas present!) – here’s how to purchase a gift card online
Donate an amount of your choice to directly support us in covering the costs during lockdown – here’s how to do it via our online store
We are also using this time to make some upgrades to the studio premises (painting, decorating), so that it will be all nice and fresh for you when we re-open. We really love teaching yoga, and your happy smiles on our screens makes our day every time. Thank you for practicing yoga with us!
Looking forward to guiding you on your yoga journey.

Date: Sunday 19 January 2020.
Place: Sampoorna Yoga Studio, Rue du Houblon-Hopstraat 40, 1000 Brussels.
Since 2010, the yoga community in Brussels organizes the Yoga Mala around the Summer Solstice. All participants donate some money and all the proceeds go to a charity. This year the mala will be organised in September, around the Autumn Solstice, on a Saturday morning, 21 September.
Why 108 ? Good question, Shiva Rea has written a beautiful article about it, read it here.
So please join in on Saturday morning, 21 September 2019, as the Yoga community comes together for the 10th time in a celebration of the unity of Yoga to raise money for charity Bru’Zelle, a local NGO helping to fight period poverty.
As we welcome the Autumn 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 & mandala coloring 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.
Practical information: Date: Saturday 21 September 2019 Time: 10h30 until approximately 12h00 Venue: Autoworld Museum Mezzanine, Cinquantenaire Park Cost: EUR 3 Museum entrance fee, plus a donation for charity. The suggested donation is at least EUR 13 (incl. the entrance fee), but we appeal to everyone to give what they can. What to bring: yoga mat, bottle of water, open heart and lots of energy!
