LGBTQ+ Yoga Retreat in Brussels 2026

Vinyasa, Ashtanga and Yoga Nidra with Beppe Yoga

11–13 December · 3 days / 2 nights

Fully bookedNo further bookings are accepted

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.
