There’s that sporty side and the fact that you gain flexibility, there’s also the relaxation and the feeling of well-being after your classes.

I like continuity in human relationships and in my activities and your course is one of them.
I like to follow your classes and to meet up with other yoga friends and thus form a nice community.

3. Why do you take classes here at Yoga Kitchen, instead of going to another yoga studio?

Your professionalism, seriousness and gentleness.

I really like the atmosphere you create in your classes.

The opportunity to do your classes online which is more convenient since your studio is far from my home? I like the online option.
The fact that the class dates and times are precise and known in advance, it allows you to plan your week.
The flexibility of your card system.

Thank you very much for your answers, Rémi, and see you soon.

1. What is your main reason or motivation for taking yoga classes?

The yoga is very relaxing for me, because of the breathing in combination with the movement.
It works quite meditative.
Twice a week I feel really relaxed after yoga. 
They make my weekly two hours with myself (-:

2. What makes you feel motivated to keep taking the classes for so long to this day?

I’ve become a bit addicted to it (while I used to think that yoga really wasn’t for me).
I miss it when I can’t take some classes.
It does not only does good in my mind, my body is also relaxed and I feel more flexible.
I also need the verbal guidance to do the series of postureses, I don’t think I could do it alone or have the discipline to do so.

3. Why do you take the classes here at Yoga Kitchen, instead of going to another yoga studio ?

I’ve never been anywhere else. I am satisfied (-:
Once I did 1 class of a very active yoga style, but it only hurt and they seemed like impossible postures to me.
With the Prana yoga I also found the first classes very difficult. Now I find the recurring sequence of movements easier to do and it’s also nice that things come back.

4. What do you particularly like about the yoga classes / approach / atmosphere here at Yoga Kitchen?

I really like the individual adjustments, and also the fact that you stop to think too much about things, consciously emptying your head etc.
The private session with you concerning my chronic hyperventilation proved very instructive. Because of this, I apply things more during the classes, but also outside of them.
I notice that in the live classes this is attention for the individual is even more important, with small adjustments for those who need something.
I appreciate that we are invited to learn to listen (consciously) to our own body.

5. Are there any perhaps purely practical elements that make you choose the yoga classes here?

For me it was during the COVID lockdown with the online classes of course that I started, also because I had more time available in my schedule then.
I love being able to do it from home, from my friend’s house or whilst on holiday.

A massive thank you for your answers, An, and see you soon!

1. What is your main reason or motivation for taking yoga classes?

For me, yoga is a way to get out of my head and stay physically flexible.

2. What makes you feel motivated to keep following the classes for so long until today?

I feel better when I practice yoga, I have less back pain and I am more relaxed.

3. Why do you take classes here at Yoga Kitchen, instead of going to another yoga studio?

.
It’s a nice location, close to my home, small scale, no big gym, pleasant atmosphere.

4. What do you particularly appreciate about the yoga classes / approach / atmosphere here at Yoga Kitchen?

I prefer the longer class of 1.5 hours. There is a good balance between relaxation and effort. The approach is individual, everyone does the exercises and postures in his/her own way.

Thank you very much for your feedback Sanne, and see you soon!

1. Christine, what is your main reason or motivation for taking yoga classes?

The classes are a good way to keep fit – the combination of concentration and doing exercises feels particularly good to me.

2. What makes you feel motivated to keep taking the classes for so long to this day?

Despite the distance, due to my actual job, I like to take the classes with you. It is also convenient that it can be done online now. I also do not like to change “supplier” especially if I am satisfied.

3. Why do you take the classes here at Yoga Kitchen, instead of going to another yoga studio ?

The small scale and personal approach appeal to me and of course the fact that the classes are also in Dutch. Not always easy to find in Brussels.

4. What do you particularly like about the yoga classes / approach / atmosphere here at Yoga Kitchen?

You can easily adapt the pace and intensity to your possibilities. Yet you can work up to your limit and challenge it a bit.

5. Are there perhaps purely practical elements that make you choose the yoga classes here?

Practical? It’s not as practical as it used to be when I could come from work on foot. Maybe the good price – quality ratio with the 10-classes pass.

Thanks for the time you spent on these questions, Christine, and see you soon!

Peter

1. What is your main reason or your main motivation to take yoga classes?

My inner balance, both physical and mental.
Yoga practice is quite complementary to my passion for climbing, and also to the other sports I like to do. And at times when I have a harder time mentally, I find great benefit in attending the yoga classes.

2. What makes you feel motivated to keep taking the classes for so long?

The way the yoga is taught over here: in small groups, and therefore personalized, with intensity and precision. I also like the nature of yoga and it is in line with my excellent experiences in Berlin when I started practicing yoga. By nature, I mean the fluidity of the movements in sync with the rhythm of the breathing. Your way of teaching radiates calm and conviction.

3. Why do you take classes here at Yoga Kitchen, instead of going to another yoga studio?

The proximity to my home is a plus, but it’s mainly what I noted above that counts.
I also really enjoy the setting of a stylish small town house. It’s part of the rich architectural heritage of Schaarbeek.

4. What do you particularly like about the yoga classes / approach / atmosphere here at Yoga Kitchen?

The participants are, each in their own way, committed, respectful and intense. The small groups make it easier to get to know people.
I also really appreciate the cup of tea at the end. It is a nice gesture of thanks and it brings people closer.

5. Are there perhaps any purely practical elements that make you choose the yoga classes here?

Not really. I think what I mentioned earlier perfectly describes my appetite for these classes.

Thanks for the time you spent on these questions, Koen, and see you soon!

Peter

1. What is your main reason or motivation for taking yoga classes?

Yoga is for me the way to calm down my body and mind and become much more in tune with each other. It puts the focus more on my body and breathing and I can get rid of all the chitchat in my head. A second reason is of course to achieve more strength, balance and flexibility for my body.

2. What makes you feel motivated to keep following the classes for so long until today?

I’ve been taking the classes for a long time because I find that they really work for me. After one hour of yoga from Peter I feel totally recharged on several levels, both my mind and body are grateful for each class and I can rely on that renewed energy for a very long time. The motivation is there every week and of its own accord. I don’t have to make an effort or convince myself to go to class week after week.

3. Why do you take classes here at Yoga Kitchen, instead of going to another yoga studio ?

.
I have tried several yoga classes / workshops, but have not found what I experience at Yoga Kitchen. Because Peter keeps the focus on your breathing during the whole lesson, you really achieve what you want during a yoga class. Not only to maintain your body/muscles, but also to train your mind not to wander, but to stay with the exercises and your body. The combination of the physical exercises and the mindfulness is a great added value and it really makes these classes complete. What I also like is the structure of the class: the build-up of the class follows a fixed structure so you know what the class will look like and that gives a great deal of peace. On the other hand, we do different types of postures in every class, which means that you do and discover something new every week. The fact that the lesson starts and ends in the same way makes it feel familiar and safe. You also feel that every posture has a purpose and is not just randomly chosen by Peter. He often explains why we move in a certain way, which makes you feel even more involved in the class.

4. What do you particularly appreciate about the yoga classes / approach / atmosphere here at Yoga Kitchen?

Peter is so professional and knows his passion through and through. This is not just another yoga class, here you come for the essence of yoga and you really notice that when you join the class. At Yoga Kitchen Peter has an eye for every participant and even adapts exercises for you if you suffer from an ailment. Everyone is welcome here and can get his advice and tips. He will also come to you and improve your postures, always friendly and careful. This personal way of teaching is top!

5. Are there perhaps purely practical elements that make you choose the yoga classes here?

I lived a few blocks from the studio so I chose it. You can also attend each class online. It’s really good quality and also an added value. For this price you will find nowhere else such good and fine classes!

Thanks for the time you spent on answering these questions Lisa, and see you soon!
