Meet Joke Ongena
Yoga From The Heart
Joke Ongena, better known as YOKE, is a qualified Yogalife teacher and guides students into a refreshing and down to earth form of Hatha yoga in Heusden (Destelbergen) and Sint-Amandsberg.
When Joke was 18, she suffered from hyperventilation caused by stress and in the search for relief, yoga came into her life. Breathing now remains an important thread throughout her classes.
“Yoga has the power to change and open up your body, to experience bountiful breath. When breathing deeply you can connect to your true and powerful self. Why not share this profound moment and connect with others?”
YOKE creates a refreshing mix of meditation, breathing exercises, yoga poses and relaxation, accompanied by inspiring music.
“Yoga provides balance, strength, energy, flexibility and self-confidence. YOKE means “to bring together”. It is the root word from which yoga is derived and that is exactly what YOKE stands for: yoga from the heart. Regardless of your physical condition or flexibility: Yoga is welcoming to everyone.
Step into the circle.
Step into the circle. Starting with a variation of pranayama to calm the mind, followed by a mantra to induce our focus, we’re all set to dive into a deeper meditation. I call it a Yoga medley! What’s special about this class? As we all sit in a big circle and enjoy the connection, we create a deeper state of union. This class will include pranayama, mantra and meditation.
You Will …
Calm your mind through breathing
Sharpen your focus through mantra
Experience a deeper state of connection
