You do not need a ton of time to practice; just 20 minutes per day is enough to get started. With an amazing studio right in Ghent, called Zaalawiktegouw, you will never have an excuse not to try it out.

There were cushions for us to lay on, bean bags for when we wanted to relax in savasana, and a variety of mats for use during our practice. And because it’s located near the city Centre, parking is free after 6pm so you won’t have any worries when heading over after work (unless there’s snow).
