The invisible thread of personal development weaves through every aspect of our 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) program, enriching not just your physical practice but your inner life.
This thread is spun from integrated activities designed to enhance self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and holistic well-being.
Meditation Program
At the core of our YTT is a structured meditation program. Here, you will not only learn various meditation techniques but also explore the philosophy and psychology behind them.
The aim is to equip you with the tools to navigate the mental and emotional landscapes that Yoga invariably brings to the surface. Beyond merely teaching these practices, we guide you in integrating them into daily life.
The goal is a sustainable, personal meditation practice that remains with you long after the program ends, enriching your teaching and personal life.
Journaling Exercises
Journaling exercises are interspersed throughout the course to facilitate internal dialogue and self-reflection.
These exercises offer you a private space to confront, analyze, and integrate what you're learning and experiencing.
They serve as a record of your journey and a tool for ongoing self-inquiry.
Questions and prompts will guide your writing, encouraging you to delve deeper into your aspirations, fears, and evolving insights about Yoga and life.
Conclusion
The invisible thread of personal development in our 200-hour YTT is nurturing the 'whole' you.
It is about recognizing that a competent Yoga teacher is proficient in asana, anatomy, and emotional and spiritual well-being.
Engaging in meditation, neurodynamic breathwork, and journaling provides a structured yet flexible framework for discovering and shaping one's growth path.
Through this, we aim for you to emerge from our program as a Yoga teacher and a more self-aware, emotionally balanced, and spiritually grounded individual.

"My confidence during the training went from low to high" -Caroline
This is how my emotions varied since April: 1st Scared before the start. Doubting of myself, non-confident. Then so excited and happy to have dared to take this journey Now so gorgeous about this experience, I even thank myself for having subscribed. It would have been such a shame to miss this. I also feel a bit sad it’s over because I really loved my weekend during the training.
My confidence during the training went from low to high thanks to Marc’s philosophy and approach. I thought at first that I was not good enough at Yoga but actually there is no good or bad.
I was positively surprised about the teaching philosophy which is inclusive to all levels, with compassion and acceptance of limits.
I am happy that I chose this training at the Brussels Yoga Loft because it was exactly corresponding to my teaching style and philosophy.

The teachers are great! …Very competent and devoted and the girls attending the course with me were a real gift that I will forever treasure.
A big Thank you to the Yoga Loft team for this great adventure!
“I personally grew so much in those past two months." - Carina
I would absolutely recommend this training. I personally grew so much in those past two months.
Mentally as well as personally. I never thought about teaching a group – I did this training more for myself and my yogic growth.
But looking into the faces of the group after teaching is priceless and I really enjoyed it.
It was also a great experience to meet like-minded people to share experiences and get new inspirations.
