He devotes himself, since 2013, to sharing the teachings of integral yoga, focussing especially on nāda yoga (the yoga of sound).
Sophie Snoeckx
Adventure has always been an important key in Sophie Snoeckx’ life, until she felt the longing for something more than outward adventure… It is then, ten years ago, that she discovered the depth of the path of Yoga. Ever since, the exploration of intimacy became a true dedication. Through improvisation theater, Tantra philosophy and Yoga she explores the depth of intimacy and the joy of the moment. Silence, Self Love, Self knowledge and laughter are her favourite medicines. Sophie combines the sacred and the playful, a perfect representation of her way of life.
Rianne Toenhake
The body has always been a keen interest to Rianne. A sporty spice as a teenager, she dove into the physical aspects of the body in health and disease during her Medicine studies at the Antwerp University. While studying, she got introduced to yoga and a new love was born. For her, it’s a wish come true to share and further explore the knowledge of yoga. Besides yoga she also offers deep restorative and energizing massages. These are based on fasciatherapy (method Danis Bois) and aromatherapy. Last but not least, if the occassion arises, she’s happy to take you on a dance journey.
