Aviva Workshops in Brussels


The AVIVA Dance is a series of exercises that -when practicing the 18 basic steps long or short versions- give women a powerful tool to be able to control their cycle, fertility, pregnancy,  menopausal symptoms, PCOS, etc. It's developed over decades by the Israeli Aviva Gabriella Steiner.

The basic steps consist out of 18 exercises that stimulates and strengthens the inner and outer muscles of the lower abdominal area and increases blood-flow to all reproductive organs. By practicing the exercises on a regular basis those organs receive a more steady supply of blood, increased amount of hormones, nutrients and oxygen. This stimulation, strengthening and nourishment of the muscles and organs of the pelvic region results in healing of various gynecological problems, naturally balanced hormones and reproductive health.

We can learn it and all the necessary information regardingly during a 4 hours long initiation course, which starts with an alkalizing lunch.

In the 4 hrs we
  • go through how this method can help and in which problems  (weak pelvic floor, irregular cycle, fibroid, cysts, PCOS, infertility, menopausal symptoms, PMS, etc.)
  • endocrine balance supporting meal to showcase how it can be useful and enjoyable at the same time (the method is more efficient if combined with the proper eating habbits)
  • Learning  the18 basic Aviva steps (when practiced fluently will take 30min ), so it can practiced individually at home
  • Learning the short version of the 18 steps (when practiced fluently will take 15 min), so it can practiced individually at home if no time for the 30 minutes version.

Ideally you can practice it twice a week.

For the workshop: You will need support bra, comfortable cloths and warm socks or shoes with soft sole (we use the flexibility of the sole, I will explain why). We start with a lunch, no need to eat beforehand.

The program costs Eur60 if you subscribe for the weekly practice classes, otherwise Eur68. The subscription is valid for 6 months for any of the classes in Brussels, and it's Eur120. Practice classes payed occasionally: Eur13. The Endo-Gym Timetable in Brussels you can find here. We are in 3 locations 5 times a week for 7 classes. 2 classes are variable, depending on bookings. They may be ovulation/progesterone stimulating exercises, meno or mens exercises.

After PCOS, Sandy has concieved

By the time I delivered, I got all necessary baby articles, maxi cosi, baby bed, bath, pram anything that the little boy of an Aviva instructor friend of mine grew out of.  Then what I could, I passed on to her friend, Sandy. She delivered 4 months later than me, after years and years of waiting, waiting and trying. 
I met her in December, her son was then 4 months old.

Sandy as lean as before her pregnancy was looking out the window thinking…and she started to tell me her story:

"I was born in Colombia, my father is from there, but when I was 9 my parents divorced, and my mom, who’s Hungarian, moved to Hungary with me and my sisters...I was bullied by my new class mates, felt generally unhappy, and early, I know, I started to find comfort in substances. By age of 13 I reached heroin.
Till then 2-3 times I had my period. And as I went deeper and deeper in this drug abuse my feminine cycle entirely stopped working. I didn’t even notice. Those days it wasn’t important at all… I went through hell….It took years for me to learn how to live without drugs... When I was 21 finally I found the right place in the mountains, in Komlo, that really helped me to become clean. So there I was healthy again one hand, the other hand I didn’t have my period. It started to bather me. I went from gynecologist to gynecologist, but no improvement. Some of them prescribed me hormones that resulted in periodic bleedings as long as I took the medicines But they were too strong for long term. I was not supposed to keep going on with them. My ovaries were full with cysts, I got diagnosed with PCOS.
By then with my husband we desperately wanted to have a baby… I was 26.
When I heard about the Aviva Method, it left no questions to me. I thought I got to try it out and give it a chance. I couldn’t believe when after the initiation session my period came!
Such hopeful results I’ve never dreamed of. This gave me a great deal of motivation to practice the 18 basic Aviva steps at home twice a week. After half year my cysts have disappeared, further I even conceived…Unfortunately the pregnancy ended with a miscarriage.
I lost faith and stopped practicing the dance.
Two years passed by when I managed to put myself together again and reestablished practicing. Alone, at home, twice a week 30 minutes. My period became normal again, and I simply enjoyed the purification that it gave me every month. I also developed a routine about using pregnancy tests each morning. After a while I didn’t even have a proper look at them, just used to throw them into the bin and would turn to the door leaving the bathroom. Till one morning at the door I realized that I saw two stripes.
Can you imagine? On the test I threw away there were actually two stripes!
This time everything was fine, at the end I was even overdue with two weeks.
Our little son was born with 3.7kg, 58cm. perfectly healthy and he got only the breast till today. He’s 4 months now."

We, Aviva instructors are so happy to see these mothers. I wish we could help all the girls who experience infertility or PCOS.
