Ana

Ana’s journey through yoga started with a 30 day yoga challenge together with a friend. She barely knew that this challenge would change her life! Wishing to deepen her practice and learn more about yogic philosophy, Ana headed to India for her first 200 hr Teacher training in 2017. Overwhelmed with the first experience and seeking for her equilibrium, in early 2018 she decided to fly back to India for a Yin Teacher Training. Ana is certified in Hatha, Vinyasa, Yin and more recently she got her first certification in Rocket Vinyasa with David Kyle. Ana’s classes are very yang: strong, energetic, energising and fun! She likes to challenge her students on both the physical (asana) aspects of yoga and philosophical aspects as well.

Anna

Anna has been immersed in yoga ever since she was a little girl. She grew up in Italy, where her uncle is a teacher at the Svami Gitananda Ashram. Anna has a background in dance and has been practicing yoga on a daily basis for over 15 years. She obtained her 200 h teacher training certificate and has been teaching in Brussels and around the world for over 10 years. She has continued her education with Rocket Yoga, Aerial Yoga and the Great Yoga Wall.  She offers various styles of yoga. In all the styles that she is teaching, the most important to her is that the practice becomes a symphony, where we can all experience the connection between the body, the mind and the universe.

Astrid

Astrid attended her first yoga class in Shanghai in 2010. She immediately fell in love with the practice, as did her husband, Pierre. Almost instantly, yoga became a big part of their life. She completed her first teacher training in Hot Yoga in 2012 and a second in Vinyasa Yoga two years later. She taught at Y+ in Shanghai before returning to Brussels, Belgium. Astrid has been teaching at Yoga Room since it first opened in 2016. Astrid teaches Flow, Yin, Hot and Beginners’ classes, as well as Pre / Postnatal classes, which have become her specialty since the birth of her son, Leopold. A talented musician, Astrid loves to bring her various instruments to class and lead both traditional and modern chanting and song.

Bre

After five years of dedicated practice in several styles, she completed her first yoga teacher training in 2013. Four teacher trainings, mentorships, and seven years of teaching around the world later, Bre has found herself taking root in Belgium. She uses her experience and training in Vinyasa, Forrest, Ashtanga, and Hatha yoga to create intelligently- sequenced classes that focus on what her students can do, and where they want to go.

Bre’s main teachers and mentors come from the Forrest Yoga tradition. Bre’s classes offer strong body and spirit alignment, that work to celebrate her student’s practices while creating strength and flexibility to go deeper. Journey along, you’re not alone !

Jimmy

In 2009, I quit my job and went to an Ashtanga yoga training in Thailand and started my yoga teaching journey. That same year, I completed a yin yoga training and taught full time until 2012, when I went to Los Angeles and took Bikram Yoga teacher training.
In high energy classes like Hot Yoga or Flow Yoga you will find me pumping energy to the entire class from start to end. In softer styles like Yin or Restorative, I will be extremely soft. In all classes, I pay a lot of attention to the students, giving corrections wherever and whenever needed. I believe that hands-on adjustments should only be given when there is an explicit consent so I mainly correct students with my direct and effective verbal cues.

Marta

Marta started practicing yoga 8 years ago and completed her first yoga teacher training in 2016. She now has certificates in Hatha and Vinyasa, Yoga Therapy (Yoga Vidya Gurukul, India) and Yin (Joe Barnett) and followed the mentorship program at Yoga Room. In 2018, she went on a yoga journey for a year, teaching in Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Laos, Cambodia, Philippines, and studying yoga in India. Marta’s classes combine a traditional hatha yoga and meditation with modern body awareness flows. She encourages her students to respect the needs of their own individual bodies. Marta truly believes that yoga is the ultimate tool for healing both the physical and psychological diseases created through our modern lifestyles.

Sergine

Après une carrière de danseuse professionnelle suivie par une carrière de photographe, Sergine découvre le yoga en 1998 en suivant une amie à un cours d’Ashtanga. Elève depuis 2000 à l’Ashtanga Yoga Institute de Jean-Claude Garnier à Bruxelles, elle a suivi avec lui une formation de professeur durant 4 ans ainsi que divers workshops dont ceux de David Swenson, Peter Sanson, Jason Crandell et Magnus Ringberg. Sergine enseigne à la Yoga Room depuis 2016 et offre, en français, des cours d’Ashtanga traditionnel ainsi que des cours axés sur l’ouverture des hanches et ses bienfaits émotionnels.

Tania

I teach each of my classes differently, depending on the style. I always focus on moving the body from where you are today. As a beginner, it’s easy to be seduced by what you see on Instagram. Everything looks perfect, and you may be made to feel that you don’t measure up. I like to bring a sense of adventure and play to the practice. A mindset of just getting in there and doing the work. Balance is always the key. Just bring your body. The mind and heart will follow.
