Men’s Naked Yoga in Brussels
Come and discover the benefits of yoga without the restrictions of clothing, improve your body awareness and enhance your self-esteem as aman amongst men.
This playful, fun and dynamic yoga class starts with some breathing exercices and a warm up to flex the spine and to warm up the body for the postures. Then we go through some sun salutations, a flowing series of body postures that cover the six main functions of physical yoga practice. Some acroyoga exercises invite us to challenge our own limits and to be confident in our own power and the power of our partners in yoga. The class ends with some calming stretches and a deep, soothing relaxation.
The Men’s Naked Yoga workshops take place at Dance Studio Jojiinc & Jo, Ijskelderstraat 18, rue de la Glacière, 1060 Saint-Gilles. The Jojiinc studio is located close to the intersection of Waterloosesteenweg/chaussée de Waterloo and Charleroisesteenweg/chaussée de Charleroi, at the beginning of the Brugmannlaan/avenue Brugmann. The neighbourhood is more commonly known as “Ma Campagne”. The spacious classroom is located in a former industrial building that was reconverted into several studios for contemporary dance and artistic expression. Once you’ve passed the entry barrier, follow the signs to Jojiinc by taking the stairway to the left and then on the flight, take the corridor to your left which will lead you straight to the studio.
Parking your car in the neighbourhood may be possible during the weekends.
But do prefer to come on foot, by bike or by public transport.

Yoga practical
Do arrive in time for your class, five or ten minutes early so as to respect the class and the concentration of your fellow students.
To bring along:
- Your own Yoga mat or a large bath towel
- A blanket, plaid or a second bath towel to keep your body warm during the final relaxation.
- Your good mood and positive energy
About yoga mats:
Here’s some advice for those who would buy their own yoga mat. Do not save money on quality or sustainability of your mat. Cheap yoga mats wear out very, very quickly and will need to be rapidly replaced.
The most important characteristic of a yoga mat are its anti-skid properties, so you get a good grip and you will not slide or fall during practice.
A yoga mat of acceptable quality will cost around 20 euros. In my experience, the best yoga mats are the ones from Manduka, they cost about 85 euros. In between these two examples there is a wide choice, with luckily more and more manufacturers who produce their mats in a sustainable way.
Medical conditions:
Always inform the teacher when you have a medical condition that necessitates extra prudence, or when you are hurt or are recovering from hurting yourself. With conditions such as a high blood pressure or glaucoma you better avoid the inverted postures.
We do our best to guarantee your safety. But please consider that you yourself are responsible for your well being and that you are the guardian of your own physical limits.
A private consult for yoga by appointment is possible to determine your personal profile. This consultation can help you amongst others to make the right choices for your yoga practice.

Handies and smart phones will be switched off at the beginning of the class.
Food:
Avoid eating within two hours before the start of the class.
Drinking:
It is very important to drink sufficient water after the class, because yoga practice has a detoxifying effect. However, avoid drinking during the class.
