For students who want to go deeper

Rooted in the ancient wisdom of yoga, AntwerpYoga Academy offers a grounded and authentic space to deepen your practice, expand your understanding, and grow into the teacher or student you are meant to become. Led by Ine Maes and supported by an experienced team of dedicated teachers, our trainings are rooted in real practice, lived experience, and integrity. We honour the essence of yoga—its philosophy, discipline, and heart—while making space for the reality of modern life. Close to the roots of the tradition, yet informed by contemporary science and understanding, our approach bridges ancient wisdom with modern knowledge in a way that is both practical and relevant. Here, you won’t find quick fixes, spiritual shortcuts, or trainings built around trends and performance. Instead, we value depth over appearance, dedication over achievement, and embodied understanding over theory alone. We believe that meaningful learning happens through practice, self-inquiry, reflection, and integration. Our trainings encourage students to cultivate curiosity, humility, awareness, clarity, and presence. Not only on the mat, but in life and, for those who choose to teach, in the way they guide others. We aim to support the development of authentic teachers and practitioners who embody what they learn rather than simply accumulate knowledge. AntwerpYoga Academy offers a range of courses and modules that build upon our 200-hour foundational training. All modules, such as our Advanced Vinyasa Training, are open to anyone who has completed a 200-hour teacher training, whether with us or at another registered school. All of our academy courses are internationally recognized and Yoga Alliance certified, reflecting our commitment to quality and excellence in yoga education.
Whether you come to teach or to explore, AntwerpYoga Academy is a place to return to what matters most. A place to learn, to integrate, to question, to refine. A place where practice becomes understanding, and understanding becomes lived experience. Welcome home.
Not because you need to become more, but because the practice keeps revealing more.

What People Say

"An inspiring training! The 100-hour Yin Yoga Teacher Training at Antwerp Yoga with Ine Maes and Vicky Vriesacker was a warm and transformative experience. Over two intensive modules, we dove deep into the world of Yin Yoga. We explored its philosophy and origins, studied the asanas in depth, and learned about the meridians and their corresponding organs. We also received practical teaching tools and tips to start teaching with confidence.Thanks to this training, I truly experienced the power and healing potential of Yin Yoga. The long-held postures not only bring deep physical relaxation, but also help to release stuck emotions and inner resistance. On both physical and mental levels, a lot happens during the practice. In a fast-paced, Yang-driven world, Yin is a necessary counterbalance, and this training taught me just how valuable it is to allow rest and spaciousness.The training was structured, accessible, and at the same time deeply insightful. Ine and Vicky guide with such passion, knowledge, and care that I felt supported throughout the entire journey. Lennert’s anatomy classes were also incredibly valuable—clear, engaging, and immediately applicable.I’m deeply grateful for this experience and highly recommend this training to anyone wanting to dive deeper into Yin Yoga."

about this beautiful and unique style of yoga. They allowed us to experience it in every moment, between every word and every practice. In between the theoretical information about the poses, anatomy, and meridians, there was space. There was time to unwind, to feel and to discover. And that is exactly what a great teacher does: they don't simply teach a subject, they embody its principles. That’s why I am deeply grateful to have had the opportunity to follow this teacher training. It was in-depth, engaging, and provided all the knowledge and tools needed to become a confident teacher. More importantly, it taught us how to integrate the principles of yin into our daily lives and personal yoga practice.So, thank you to the entire team for creating such an inspiring and enriching training."

The adjustment and assists training with Ine went far and beyond what I could’ve hoped for. I went with the expectation of gaining a few insights and techniques, I came away with a deep sense of confidence and trust in my capacity to aid my students through hands-on assists, all with thanks to Ine. Ine has a wealth of knowledge to share, and with the space and community she has created, it feels like spending your time and energy very wisely when you’re between the walls of Antwerp yoga. I definitely will be coming back for more training and practice soon!
