I also lead yoga retreats and yoga teacher trainings, creating spaces dedicated to practice, study, and inner exploration.

"Eknath is an excellent teacher and guide. He is a master in postures and able to take care of the needs of all the different students in his class. The vibrations are always good during the practicing hours with him. The open-minded attitude is stimulating and vivifying for creative minds."
-Roberta, yoga student and visual artist
"I’m practicing yoga with Eknath for a few years now, and I enjoy the lessons: quiet, peaceful, resourceful, different asanas, and difficulty levels proposed while respecting the limits and the body of everyone. It’s always with a smile, he adjusts the postures when needed. "
-Fanni, yoga student and consultant
"Eknath is an excellent teacher who makes you feel really at ease with the way he teaches. He also makes you feel like you can achieve the most difficult posture. Very encouraging and a generally nice guy overall! Worth a session or more. "
-Dianne, yoga student and award winning actrice
"I enjoy taking Eknath’s yoga classes. He is very experienced and teaches from the heart. He is very charismatic and communicates a sense of peace, while his classes can be also quite challenging physically. Great flow and knowledge of anatomy."
-Chiara, yoga teacher
"Eknath is one of the greatest yoga teachers I ever met. He has this aura of gentleness and peace around him, he leads his students to the nice flow - not too slow, not too fast, and gives clear guidance. I also like the style of yoga he teaches, it has this nice flow of wholeness starting from calming your mind with breathing exercises, then energizing, stretching and strengthening your body with various asanas and ending with a beautiful relaxation. I’m happy during the lockdown he started giving online classes too, it allows me to maintain my physical and mental well-being practicing at home. Thanks a lot : )"
-Vilma, yoga student
"Eknath is one of the best yoga teachers out there for mind, body, and soul! Attend his class, you will surely love it!"
-Nadja, yoga student
"After years of practice, each yogi probably has their ‘all-time favorite’ teacher. For me this is Eknath. Each lesson is equally beautiful and uplifting, whatever style he teaches.Eknath gives perfect guidance, always connects with every student in the class, has an authentic, selfless style, and truly teaches from the heart. PS: I am so happy that he now also teaches online! Highly recommended."
-Liesbeth, Yoga Student
"Un guide extraordinaire pour développer sa propre pratique du Yoga. Les cours Online intègrent les différents aspects de la pratique (respiration, positions, détente) pour démarrer la journée ou bien la terminer ! Eknath, c’est le meilleur prof de Yoga que j’ai rencontré !"
-Catherine, Yoga Student and Fashion Designer
"Sinds ik de online lessen volg, voel ik mij een stuk beter. Zowel fysiek als mentaal. YouSoundGood is het beste wat mij de laatste maanden is overkomen. Super fijne formule met bijzondere leraar en bezieler Eknath."
-Mieke, yoga student and journalist
"Eknath is one of the best yoga teachers I know, he is really living yoga not just talking about it!"
-Hanna, yoga teacher, owner Sampoorna Yoga Studio
"A teacher with heart, spirit and great soul."
-Emmamaria, yoga teacher, owner Lille Yoga Hus Denmark
"Eknath is a great teacher. He explains the postures very well and demonstrates when required. The fact that he’s a musician is nice as the Om’s are wonderful!
 He’s very knowledgeable about anatomy and that’s very helpful with adjustments. He was one of my first teachers in Brussels and I love taking his yin yoga classes!"
-Ambika, yoga teacher at Ambika Yoga
"Eknath is an excellent yoga teacher with a deep understanding of the practice. He creates a supportive and attentive environment where everyone can move at their own pace and find their own rhythm. His classes are consistently thoughtful and well-guided - I even managed to try Sirsasana!!"
-Anna, yoga student and visual artist
"I used to take classes at the Sampoorna studio in Brussels which is one of my favorite places to practice yoga in Brussels. It is a great mix of traditional & modern-day yoga. Eknath is a great teacher, very sincere in his practice which is precious & not so common to find. I like him encouraging people to experiment asanas & allow freedom inside & outside the class. Great yoga teacher for an artist :)"
-Haya, yoga teacher and photographer
"I really enjoy practicing with Eknath, he’s a very good communicator and very attentive to everyone’s needs in the class. I learn something new every time I practice with him. I really recommend his classes both yin and yang."

I am a musician. I've played the saxophone for almost 50 years and taught and performed music professionally for over 40 years.
Since 2008, I have been teaching Sampoorna Yoga in the lineage of Swami Sivananda and Yin Yoga. I offer yoga-related workshops, guided meditation, mantra chanting & kirtan, sound baths, yoga retreats, and yoga teacher training.
I'm a student of yoga master Shri Yogi Hari, the founder of Sampoorna Yoga. Furthermore, I studied Yin Yoga and functional anatomy with Paul and Suzee Grilley. I also trained with Marsha Wenig (YogaKids®) and facilitated yoga for children for several years. I live in Belgium, where I co-founded the Sampoorna Yoga Studio Brussels in 2010.
I love spending time in nature, breathing fresh air, listening to bird song, the rustling of leaves, and the sounds of mountain rivers. Connecting with nature is at the foundation of my yoga practice. It helps me stay in tune with the core of my being. Things come into focus, questions are answered, and challenges dissolve like clouds on a sunny, windy day.
