In their words
What our practitioners say
Six voices of practitioners and teachers sharing, in their own way, what the Institute has brought them.
A place where the intelligence of the heart meets the rigour of thought.
Teacher Training
Transmission & Teaching
You will discover a part of yourself you have never known.
Community & Continuity
I have never encountered teaching that is so precise and so attentive to each individual body, maintained consistently over so many years. I know only one teacher like him — that is rare, and it is what has kept me here for 22 years.
Community & Continuity
Transmission & Teaching
An openness and a faithfulness to the heart of the tradition — not to its appearances. A transformation, a path towards the self, carried by Jean-Claude's guidance.
Transmission & Teaching
A rock. The institute helps us find and accept ourselves — and that transmission, Jean-Claude's, is something you find nowhere else.
Teacher Training
Transmission & Teaching
A haven of peace. A cocoon of gentleness, kindness and generosity, where you receive a gift of knowledge far beyond the physical practice: the adjustment of postures, the care for the body, the welcoming of emotions.
Community & Continuity
Regular Classes
Things fell into place for me at this institute. A knowledge that makes yoga far more than a practice: a relationship with the world, with the knowledge of oneself and of the universe.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Before you come.
Honest answers to the questions that come back — including the ones you might not always dare to ask.
Do I need any prior experience to join a class?
No, none at all. The beginners' class is designed to start Ashtanga from scratch: we build the foundations of the first series, the ujjayi breath and the rhythm, step by step.
How does a first class unfold?
You're welcomed before we begin and walked through the flow, then you practise at your own pace. Even in a group, you receive individual adjustments.
What should I bring?
Comfortable clothing, water and, ideally, your own mat. Arrive a few minutes early and practise on a light stomach (2 to 3 hours after a meal).
Can I join if I already practise elsewhere?
Yes. What matters is your consistency: the teacher tailors the corrections to your practice and your body.
The Institute · Brussels
Practice is built day after day.
Ashtanga is transmitted through regularity: you come, roll out your mat, progress at your own pace, each posture adjusted individually — even in a group class. Beginner or experienced, there is a place for you.
