Antwerp
The Antwerp yoga sangha is really full of life and supportive to one another. The director Nicki is from South Africa and has lived in Belgium for twelve years, drawn to Antwerp due to the fact that her husband, also South African, is in the diamond trade. Local literature claims that 7 out of every 10 diamonds in the world pass through Antwerp. We gave a four day teacher training near the city centre in an expansive artists’ loft overlooking the Schellig River. I taught in English, but everyone in this part of Belgian speaks Flemish, a Germanic language, whereas in the south of Belgium French is more spoken. Most of the students were from Antwerp but a handful were from Holland. Many of the students are tall and long-boned, given their Northern European ancestry. I was told that the average Dutch man is 6 feet tall! Many of the women students are vary tall and slender. Most of the students have been only influenced by vinyasa yoga and Ashtanga Yoga so they are hungry for more in depth teachings.
