Iyengar yoga studio XL is a yoga center in the heart of Ixelles, close de the place Stéphanie. Direct acces by tram , metro, … We offer personal monitoring for whoever wants to engage in this yoga adventure…
The teaching is according to the method of Mister BKS Iyengar, who left us in 2014, but his daughter Gita and son Prashant continue his teachings at the Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute in Pune, India.
In ancient Times yoga was taught from teacher to pupil.. This is a story about yourself, about facing physical and mental resistances, about developing personal awareness, about creating space… Strength and flexibility are by-products, but give us for sure an immediate physical well-being..
As the physical body is concerned, we cannot enough emphasize on the importance of precision and alignment of the postures or asanas.The use of props (wooden blocks, blankets, ropes, belts, chairs, benches, …. )is meant to deploy the posture , and makes Iyengar yoga safe and accessible for all of us. Therapeutic effects are numerous, all body systems are taken care of (nervous, digestive, hormonal, respiratory,cardiac,..).
A feeling of physical and mental well-being is evident after a class ending with a deep relaxation. This allows us to come back to a neutral and tranquil state of mind, so that we can listen to the resonance of that yoga session.

Très bon cours. ll ne faut pas être souple, sportif pour pratiquer du yoga. Isabelle s'adapte en fonction des difficultés de chacun, y compris la langue (elle parle le français,anglais et le néerlandais) .

Super cours, professionnel et bienveillant, endroit cosy et calme. Focus sur la justesse des mouvements, à chacun son niveau. Je suis fan depuis plus de 4 ans déjà et vous recommande vivement ce studio.
Alexia Van Daele
The best place for an attentive yet challenging yoga class. The teacher has you pushing further in full respect of your body, helping you adapt your poses according to your physiology, in order to reach its full benefits. You understand what Iyengar yoga is all about.
Jessica J J Lutz
Isabelle challenges you constantly to cross the boundaries of your comfort zone. She pushes you to stretch that leg just a little more, and keep those shoulders straight, hips in alignment! But after the hardship she'll come and tuck you in under a soft, white blanket. The personal attention she gives everyone is full of warmth and care. I'm hooked.
