Roland Verschaeve

Roland Verschaeve is a yoga and meditation teacher based in Brugge, Belgium, where he runs a centre for yoga, pilates, meditation and self-development. His work invites people to be who they really are, through courses (in person and online), conversations and guided meditations. He has guided more than 8,000 people in their personal development.

A central idea in his teaching is that everything you go through brings you closer to your true nature. He describes the first part of a spiritual path as a search for help with your drama, and says he has long since stopped dwelling on that, because it only yields temporary solutions. Instead he teaches how to move beyond endless wanting and expecting, and to step out of the small picture in which the ego stays stuck. The aim, in his words, is to widen that picture so that more fulfilment follows, whatever happens.

Roland writes that he has practised yoga and guided meditation daily for more than 40 years. His yoga classes work with letting go of old patterns, listening to the body and the natural cycles of life. His meditation themes include transcending the ego, light body awareness, and following the underlying flow of the soul, which he calls the Divine Will. He also teaches on relationships through the colour game Kleur Man Vrouw, and offers monthly webinars and a library of self-study videos, audios and workshops.

Teaching is mostly in Dutch.
