YOGA AND LIFESTYLE: The Belgian Adventure
Much more than the usual city-trip and different from a retreat, Happynes't proposes to practice Yoga in a different environment, while discovering the richness of a different culture.
Let's start the day with a Yoga class to energize our body and our mind. Every day will be a different practice, Hatha, Vinyasa, Yoga wall, Hot Yoga with different fabulous teachers from Brussels.
After our daily class, we're going to discover a country at the crossroad of many cultures, many languages, and many diverse people.
Let's walk through the streets of the most beautiful cities of Belgium: Brussels, Bruges and Antwerp.
Discover the romantic charm of Bruges, its canals and its windmill. Discover the high-fashioned city of Antwerp, house of the famous painter Rubens and of amazing contemporary architecture.
Discover the cosmopolitan Brussels, with all its contrasts, its fascinating Art Nouveau architecture and its comic strips.
And finally, let's taste delicious food. From the very famous Belgian chocolate and beers, to haute gastronomy, from unique experience to the most emblematic dishes like mussels, you are going to try it all.
Body and mind refreshed, nourished and awakened through this unique experience. Simply enjoy the easy-going and joyful Belgian lifestyle.
