Om everybody, a very warm welcome !
After 25 years of having been intensely active as a performing musician – composer – arranger - educator on the Belgian and international music scenes, I decided to lower the volume a bit, slow things down and bring to the surface some of my other passions kept alive during all these years.
Over the years, I have been practicing Tai Chi, Aïkido, Yoga and Chi Kung. I grew up in a vegetarian family, where nature and the respect for all beings was the daily theme song. Already during my teen years – while practicing the saxophone – I got interested in yogic breathing techniques. I started practicing yoga regularly with Susannah Périllat since 1994, occasionally doing workshops and retreats with André Van Lysbeth, Kamini Desai, Shri Yogi Hari…and finally doing the Sampoorna Yoga Teacher Training at Yogi Hari’s Ashram in 2008 and 2009 (www.yogihari.com). Since then, I have been teaching several weekly classes in Brussels.
Father of two, and wishing to share the yogic way of life with my children, I enrolled in the YogaKids® program and recently graduated as a Certified YogaKids Teacher.
Being a musician, I have always been strongly attracted to sound as a healing medium. I'm currently training as a sound massage therapist at the Belgisch Instituut voor Klankmassage en Klankpedagogie (www.klankschalen.be)
Since 2008, I’ve been teaching several weekly yoga classes in English, Dutch and French.
