The Yoga Loft is committed to building an Ashtanga Yoga community in Brussels, and a part of that is offering students an opportunity to enrich their own practice or follow their own path to becoming a facilitator of the yoga practice.  

This path is unique, satisfying, and a self-discovery journey. Our mission is to provide each yoga teacher in our training the foundation to teach skillfully with compassion, safety, and integrity while honoring your own voice.

The training will combine Ashtanga Vinyasa flow with an emphasis on alignment, awareness and skillful sequencing. Understanding of body positioning, dristi, and modifications are key in this training for meeting the needs of the average yoga student.

We complement this essential framework of asana with in-depth study of anatomy, and the Yoga Sutras as well as other principles of yoga, such as  Ayurveda. Learn to teach as you deepen your practice, develop lifelong friendships, and have a life-altering experience.
