Name: LGBTQ+ Yoga Retreat with Beppe in Brussels 2026
Brand: Apolo
Availability: SoldOut

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.
