Overall Aim of my group classes
As a
yoga teacher, I'm fully committed towards creating a stimulating
learning environment where students experience a
form of yoga that is safe yet challenging in more ways than one.
One of my key principles is that a regular practice is the only way to achieve results with yoga. This inevitably leads the student to the topic of developing a regular home practice.
The overall aim of my group classes, therefore, is to prepare the student for a safe and beneficial personal yoga practice, i.e. yoga activity 'in between classes'.

Course Content
I'm offering my group classes in the form of a 10-week course. During
the course, students
will develop a sound
understanding of approximately 15 key yoga
postures, as well as various core principles of yoga practice.
Examples of such 'core principles' are: the relationship between breath & movement, locational breathing, static & dynamic postures, home practice, and the energetic effects of practice.

Equally
important, students are
taught how to move into and
out of the postures safely, how to modify them, and how to use the
breath in the most optimal way. This provides a solid basis for further
yoga studies and practice.
Gradually, breathing and meditation techniques will be introduced as well. 'Yoga' involves a lot more than posture work, in fact, it's only a small portion of it. So with Luc, you're set on a path that—over longer periods of time and depending on your interests & needs—might even expose you to Patañjali's philosophy or vedic chanting. |

IS ONE
of the most extraordinary spiritual sciences that mankind has
ever discovered. It is like a gem of great proportions, containing many facets whose light can illuminate the whole of our lives with great meaning." David Frawley |

Fresh Approach
My
classes follow a progressive path, whereby new ideas get introduced
gradually. Ideas build on each other and are approached
from various
angles,
giving the student an opportunity to deepen his or her understanding
and appreciate the richness of the approach taken to yoga.
At times, parts of my classes will be interactive. There will be silence, too, creating space for people to explore the subtle messages that body and mind are giving. When the senses and the mind are quiet, real in-sights can arise.
In the interest of the group, individual, and teacher, only students that sign up for a full term (10 classes) are accepted. This is not any different from, say, taking French language classes.
Students receive at the end of each class ideas to help develop a home practice.
