Dear all 🙏

Join us for a Hatha yoga class on Tuesday, 7 April, 19:00-20:00. This class will be focused on spinal mobility, flexibility, and strength. We will begin with gentle movements to awaken the spine, followed by a progressive sequence of backbends, from milder heart openers to deeper extensions. Through mindful breathing and alignment, we will explore how to support the spine safely while expanding our range of motion. Towards the end of the session, we will work on the wheel pose (Urdhva Dhanurasana), refining stability, strength, and balance. Whether you are new to the wheel pose or deepening your practice, there will be guidance and variations for all levels.

This yoga class welcomes participants of all levels, from beginners to advanced practitioners. Whether you are just starting your yoga journey or have a seasoned practice, you will find the class inclusive and suitable for your experience level. Please come 5 minutes early so you can set your mat and settle in before we begin.

The class is donation-based, and your donation is what allows Grassroots to keep going ❤️ every little helps! However, I encourage your participation even if donation is not possible for you right now.

Hope to see many of you on Tuesday!

Namaste 🙏

Dear all 🙏

Join us for a Hatha-Iyengar inspired yoga class on Tuesday, 24 March, 19:00-20:00. In this session, we will begin with a few gentle and accessible exercises that can be done while sitting on a chair. These are practical movements that you can easily integrate into a 5-minute break during office work. Though simple, they are extremely beneficial for releasing tension, improving circulation, and maintaining spinal health. From there, we will continue using the chair as support to refine our posture in standing poses. Working with the chair allows us to develop greater stability, clarity in alignment, and deeper awareness of how the body organizes itself in space.

This yoga class welcomes participants of all levels, from beginners to advanced practitioners. Whether you are just starting your yoga journey or have a seasoned practice, you will find the class inclusive and suitable for your experience level. To join the class, make sure to bring a yoga mat and wear clothing that allows free movement.

Please also bring a towel for hygiene purposes, as during the session you may need to place your head on the chair.

Please come 5 minutes early so you can set your mat and settle in before we begin.

Dear all 🙏

I am very happy to invite you to the first Grassroots Yoga class at Buurtcentrum De Wende (Goudlaan 555, 9743CP) on Tuesday 20 January, 19:00-20:00.

The community center will open its doors for us at 18:30. I will be there around that time to sweep and prepare the space for our practice. In the spirit of grassroots community, you are very welcome to offer a helping hand if you feel like it 🙏

Otherwise, you are warmly invited to arrive 5-10 minutes early to settle in, prepare some tea, set up your yoga mat, and enjoy a moment of connection before the class begins.

This class will be inspired by the winter season: by the cold that invites us to slow down, turn inward, and care for warmth and gentleness. We will begin with simple breathwork to warm up the body and calm the mind, followed by easy, grounding postures to gently mobilize the body, and some balancing and connecting postures to cultivate stability, presence, and connection.

The practice is gentle, accessible, and open to all; no prior yoga experience is needed.

To join the class, make sure to bring a yoga mat and wear clothing that allows free movement.

With warmth 🙏

Grassroots Yoga finds a new home

Posted on January 4, 2026January 4, 2026 by Angelos

Dear all 🙏

I wish you a very warm and gentle start to the new year. May 2026 bring you health, clarity, peace, connection, and many moments of presence and yoga practice

I am excited to announce that Grassroots Yoga is finding a new home. We have reached an agreement with Buurtcentrum De Wende to continue our community yoga classes there, and I am grateful for this opportunity. It feels meaningful and aligned to begin this next chapter in a space that is rooted in community, accessibility, and care. I am also happy to share that I will be offering the classes together with Gerk, an Ashtanga yoga practitioner with whom I have practiced a few times already.

From January onward, Grassroots Yoga classes will take place every Tuesday, 19:00-20:00 at Buurtcentrum De Wende (Goudlaan 555, 9743CP). Our first class will be held on Tuesday, 20 January 2026; I will share an announcement with more practical details soon.

To support this new phase and strengthen our sense of community, we are also starting a new online group. At Grassroots Yoga, we wholeheartedly support Signal because it is free, open-source, highly secure, and run by a nonprofit; meaning there is no big corporation behind it aiming to monetize your data. You are warmly invited to join the group here: https://signal.group/#CjQKIE3CxVW1cnmEvhQwz3jL02sGQExen9Z3DUbSM5oO6MnpEhBvTUijLhI4oLRTZN-35wkL

If you are not using Signal, you are very welcome to join our WhatsApp group: https://chat.whatsapp.com/FOtxQHzScOj7s7EbLIgrbK

We will be sharing the same announcements and updates in both groups so we can stay connected beyond the mat.

It feels very special to be able to come together again – to move, breathe, slow down, and cultivate presence as a community – and I feel grateful for your patience, your trust, and your continued support along the way. I truly look forward to seeing familiar faces again and welcoming new ones into the circle.

With gratitude, love, and a fresh beginning ✨
Angelos 🙏

There will be no Grassroots Yoga classes until the end of 2025

Posted on November 26, 2025November 22, 2025 by Angelos

Dear all 🙏

Please note that there will be no Grassroots Yoga classes offered until the end of 2025.

This pause is temporary, as I am taking a conscious breath to prepare for a new beginning in January 2026. This follows the conclusion of my previous collaboration with the teaching team and the community center at Sint Jaan, and it is a necessary step to realign with the core vision of Grassroots Yoga for sustainable, community practice. I am currently in discussions with a community center (more news on this soon) and building a new teaching team.

Since July 2021, when I began offering yoga classes and laying the foundations of the Grassroots Yoga community, my intention has been to create inclusive and accessible yoga sessions—cultivating a self-sustaining, supportive space where people could arrive as they are, move gently, breathe deeply, and feel at home. Looking back, I am filled with gratitude seeing how this vision has taken shape, thanks to you. I believe our potential to grow, support one another, and co-create is even greater. I look forward to our new space providing more opportunities to experiment and deepen the spirit of grassroots, shared participation.

As we close this chapter at Sint Jaan, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude: Thank you for supporting this project and for co-creating this community 🙏

with love and light ❤️✨
Angelos
