Small group of yogis · Only 10 spots

There are moments when your body asks you to pause, breathe, and listen to yourself again. This gay and LGBTQ+ yoga retreat in Brussels was created precisely for that: to give yourself three days to step away from routine, move with intention, and share the experience with others in a welcoming and inclusive environment. From December 11th to 13th, 2026 , we will practice Vinyasa, Ashtanga, and Yoga Nidra while exploring a Christmas-lit Brussels, its markets, gastronomy, and those small moments that turn a getaway into a lasting memory.

The sessions will be guided by Beppe Yoga , adapting each practice so you can enjoy it whether you are just starting out or yoga is already a part of your life. More than just completing poses, this LGBTQ+ yoga retreat in Brussels is an invitation to slow down, reconnect with yourself, share openly without masks, and create space for new conversations, new people, and perhaps even a new way of returning home.

Why experience this retreat with Apolo

Yoga in Brussels, in an intimate group and with space to be yourself

Booking yoga classes, accommodation, and activities separately is always an option. The value of Apolo lies in designing the complete experience: bringing together an intimate group, coordinating the itinerary, taking care of every detail, and guiding you before and during the retreat.

This retreat combines yoga, wellness, and the festive Christmas atmosphere of Brussels with a group experience designed for LGBTQ+ individuals. You will practice Vinyasa, Ashtanga, and Yoga Nidra with Beppe while sharing meals, city tours, and memorable moments with a very small group.

10 People maximum

Before you book

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before joining the retreat: yoga, accommodation, meals, transport, payments, and how we will spend these three days together in Brussels.

Do I need to bring my own yoga mat?

Yes, bringing your own mat is required.

If you are flying to Brussels, we recommend bringing an ultra-lightweight, foldable travel mat that takes up minimal space in your backpack or carry-on luggage.

If you are coming by train or car, you are welcome to bring your regular yoga mat.

What level of yoga experience do I need to join the retreat?

You don't need any specific level. Beppe adapts all Vinyasa, Ashtanga, and Yoga Nidra classes by offering modifications and varying intensity options for every practitioner.

Whether you are taking your first steps in yoga or already have an advanced practice, you are more than welcome. All you need is the desire to enjoy the experience.

Level All levels welcome
Practices Vinyasa · Ashtanga · Yoga Nidra
What clothes and luggage should I pack?

Along with your comfortable yoga clothes and your mat, keep in mind that Brussels in December is cold.

We recommend bringing a warm coat, scarf, and comfortable footwear for walking around the Christmas markets.

If you'd like, you can also bring something casual yet special with a festive touch for our dinners by the fireplace and board game evenings.

How will we coordinate arrival in Brussels?

Transportation to Brussels is managed independently so you have the freedom to choose flight, train, car, or bus according to what best suits you.

Approximately 10 days before the retreat, we will create a WhatsApp group with all participants and the host.

There, we can get to know each other, coordinate arrival times, and share practical information about getting around Brussels.

I am traveling alone, will I feel out of place?

Not at all. Many people sign up for Apolo experiences on their own.

Our goal is to create a safe, open, and welcoming space right from the start, making it easy to connect with the rest of the group and let genuine friendships bloom naturally.

If you choose the accommodation option, you will share a twin room with another participant from the group.

What is the group vibe and retreat philosophy?

It is an intimate, small-group retreat designed to enjoy yoga, self-care, and meaningful connection with others in an inclusive environment.

Throughout these three days, we prioritize respect, good vibes, health, and creating genuine connections with like-minded people.

What is included in the retreat price?

The retreat includes all main scheduled experiences across the three days:

  • 5 yoga sessions and workshops with Beppe in an elegant maison de maître.
  • In the accommodation option, a shared twin room with private bathroom in central Brussels, right across from the house where our practices take place.
  • 2 breakfasts, 1 traditional Belgian lunch at Bouillon Bruxelles, 2 home-cooked dinners, and snacks.
  • Guided city walks covering the European Quarter and the Christmas Markets.
Can meals be adapted to my dietary requirements?

Yes. If you have any allergies, intolerances, or follow a vegetarian or vegan diet, please let us know when booking or in the pre-trip WhatsApp group.

This allows us to prepare for your nutritional needs both at the house and at the traditional brasserie.

How do payment options work to reserve my spot?

You can choose the payment option that works best for you:

  • Full payment: secure your spot all at once and save €50 on the total price.
  • Deposit payment: pay €100 to reserve your spot and pay the remaining balance 30 days before the retreat begins.
