About Me

A passionate and experienced ballet and yoga teacher with over 15 years of teaching and movement practice.

My journey began in Turkey, where I studied and taught classical ballet using the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) and Vaganova methods. Over the years, I’ve expanded my practice through contemporary dance, body awareness techniques, and certified yoga instruction. My classes combine the discipline of technique with the joy and mindfulness of movement.

I’ve taught students of all ages — from small children taking their first ballet steps, to adults discovering movement later in life. I believe it’s never too early to dance, stretch, and reconnect with your body.

I dance to create a welcoming, non-judgmental space where every student feels supported and inspired. Whether you are preparing for a RAD exam, exploring yoga to reduce stress, or simply wanting to move with more grace and strength, I’m here to guide you with care and dedication.

Methodology

How is it going?

During our first interview, you will tell me about your history and your goals. If you wish, we can define your goals together. We can then agree on a first session during which we will make a simple assessment of your different physical qualities.

Thanks to this different information, I will build a tailor-made training program, which will allow you to reach your goal in a progressive and adapted way, avoiding any risk of injury.

We will then agree on the best times to suit your schedule. The sessions can take place in Brussels at home, in the gym, or outside (weather permitting).

My name is Valentine, I am a certified sports coach in fitness, specializing in fitness and well-being. I give individual fitness classes in Brussels.

My experience in several types of sports such as boxing, yoga, Crossfit (or Functional Training), weightlifting, fitness and HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) gave me the opportunity to fully explore and to push my physical and mental limits, and I want to use this experience for the benefit of my clients.

For me, sport values the importance of balance in life: the body (Body) and the mind (Mind) work together and should be seen as a whole. Bodymind.

If you are interested in trying to understand yourself better physically, to be ahead physiologically, and perhaps more emotionally stable, just contact me. We will define your goals together and I will help you achieve them.

I am fluent in French, English, Dutch and Italian, and am able to conduct sports coaching sessions in these languages.

A Yin yoga class usually consists of a series of long-held, passive floor poses that mainly work the lower part of the body – the hips, pelvis, inner thighs, lower spine. These areas are especially rich in connective tissues.Connective tissue responds best to a slow, steady load. If you gently stretch connective tissue by holding a yin pose for a long time, the body will respond by making them a little longer and stronger – which is exactly what you want.
Remember the principle of the exercise is to stress the tissue so the body will respond by strengthening it.

BENEFITS OF A REGULAR PRACTICE
Increases circulation and improves flexibility
Calms and balances the mind and body
Reduces stress and anxiety
Releases fascia
Encourages deeper relaxation
Improves joint mobility
Brings balance to the organs through meridian stimulation

FOUR MAIN PRINCIPLES TO REMEMBER WHEN PRACTICING YIN YOGA
Find an appropriate edge: Move slowly and gently into the pose, and look for an appropriate amount of intensity, never stretch so far as to cause pain.
Stillness: consciously try to release into the pose, and to remain still, without shifting position.
Hold the position: begin by holding for 1-3 minutes gradually progressing to 5 minutes or more.
Come out of the pose gently and slowly.

I am a professional dancer and choreographer. I give classical, contemporary/modern dance lessons to adults and children.

The objective of my classes is to learn to know your own body and improve posture. In my dance classes we will learn to improve technique, vocabulary, step dynamics and awareness of the body in space.

I’m a professional musician - a classically educated pianist who has completed the 200h Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga Training in Mexico and became a certified yoga teacher this year.
My teaching is focused on helping students to develop their physical & mental well-being. That in ashtanga yoga tradition can be achieved through the connection between asanas ( physical postures) with proper breathing.

I believe Yoga is a shared experience that requires equal commitment from the teacher as well as the student. I make sure that students have a solid understanding of the postures and their benefits. I adapt the Asthanga sequence to students' needs but I’m always ready to challenge them if I feel like it’s the right time.

I hope to see you on the mat :)
