About Stephan
II didn't plan to become a movement teacher. I planned to be an osteopath.
After my studies, I realised I couldn't see myself spending my life in a 4-square-metre consultation room. So I left Belgium, worked in humanitarian aid, and spent years living across the world.
When I landed in Canada, I quietly started reconnecting with my body — first at a Goodlife gym, then realising that gym culture wasn't for me, I moved towards functional training, yoga, Pilates, Animal Flow. And then Qigong.
That's where everything clicked. Especially Yi Jin Jing — a therapeutic practice that brought together everything I'd learned about the body, movement and healing. It closed the loop that osteopathy had opened twenty years earlier.
I came back to Brussels at 41. I'm 52 now. And I spend my days helping adults do what took me too long to figure out — move well, feel better, and actually enjoy it.
What people come back for
Honestly? Not always the Qigong itself.
People tell me they keep coming back for the energy in the room — the laughter, the warmth, the feeling that everyone belongs. I'm naturally extroverted and I genuinely love people, so creating that kind of atmosphere isn't a technique. It's just who I am.
The movement is the vehicle. The connection is the destination.
Why small groups?
Because presence matters. I keep my classes to 10 people maximum so I can actually see you, adjust with you, and make sure you leave feeling better than when you arrived.
