Practicing Downward Facing Dog with a stuffed puppy on the mat – there’s no more fun workout than that. After the success of Puppyo Brussels, you can now also go to Antwerp for a yoga session with your four-legged mini friends, who will also be helped in their socialization. All dogs come from recognized Belgian purebred breeders and receive a warm nest at the Puppyo organization until adopted.
35 euros per session, check the dates on puppyyogaantwerp.com

Californication
Sensual pastels that stand out on paper in such a way that a sweater often becomes superfluous: this, in short, is the work of Australian photographer George Byrne. In 2010 he left Sydney for California, where he has since conquered the world with his architectural street photographs of Los Angeles and Palm Springs. The second edition of his book Post Truth collects photos from the series of the same name, with ten new previously unpublished images as extras.

Brussels Wolf Sculpture
Worldly street food in Brussels
Four years ago the former headquarters of the ASLK bank in Brussels was transformed into a food market. The industrial warehouse-style covered market has since become a mecca for foodies, with scents, colors and flavors from around the world. Seventeen food stalls serve Chinese dim sum, Indian curries, Syrian pastries or Belgian prawn croquettes, best enjoyed with a microbrewery’s house beer. There are also numerous events scheduled, such as tomorrow (14/1) the kick-off of the Wolf Food Fight. During this weight loss cooking competition, twelve amateur chefs, influencers and professional chefs compete for a large prize pool and a mention in the Wolf cookbook. Tasting and judging are possible starting from 10:00.
