Every Thursday at 8 p.m.!
You can start every Thursday.
YOKE means “to bring together”. It is the root word from which yoga was derived. It also perfectly illustrates what I stand for. Yoga from the heart. For EVERYONE. Regardless of your physical condition. You don’t need to be flexible at all to start a yoga class.
Yoga is an ancient way of life, which originated around the Ganges River in India around 7,500 BC. There are many different forms of yoga and it is important that you find out which one suits you best. So, try different styles, you are guaranteed to find a yoga style that is perfect for you!

Inspired by a set of breathing exercises with the physiotherapist in 1998, YOKE discovered yoga as a remedy for stress and hyperventilation. And it has been her therapy ever since. In 2014 she completed the internationally recognised yoga teacher training course at Yogalife in Ghent (registered with Yoga Alliance). As a hatha yoga teacher, she was taught by Sanjeev Bhanot, Manoj Bhanot and many others.
YOKE also completed additional training courses with:
Max Strom (USA)
Paul Dallaghan (USA)
Nathan Grey (UK)
Alexandra Rossopoulou (Greece)
Gyanmitra Saraswati (India)
To immerse herself in meditation even further, YOKE completed the Transcendental Meditation (TM) course, which is based on the teachings of Maharishi Mahesh.
YOKE also completed a mindfulness course at Itam with Björn Prins, the mindfulness pioneer in Flanders.
In addition to her weekly classes in Heusden (Destelbergen) YOKE regularly gives workshops with meditation classes, breathing exercises (pranayama) and children’s yoga. YOKE also organises yoga team building activities for businesses and organisations.
