Hello,
I am Isabelle, 28 years old from Belgium.At first, I must apologize for my terrible english, I hope it will not burn your eyes, I try my best.
By this thread I just wanted to warn you about what happened to us recently… I follow yoga lessons since 4 years now.
So it was the end of the lesson, so as usual, I walk to the dressing room. I was with 3 others yoga players. I opened the door and saw a man holding my handbags and some others. It has took me few seconds to realise what’s going on until I yell at him.
His only escape was the door I just opened so he ran on our direction and tried to push us.We catch his arm and he punch me in the face!
We punch him back and pushing him into the dressing room. We were 4 versus him and we surrounding him. We heat him as we could with punch, kick, knee kick…and he quickly he fall to the ground. We kicked him again and he curl on himself asking us to stop…
The rest of the student came to help us but he was done already. The teacher tie his hands behind the back. I took in his pocket his phone and wallet to be sure he s not trying to escape while some students called the police.
We keep him kneeldown like this and the teacher started to question him. She made him admit that he is a drug addict and he did that to pay his product. He admit also it was not the first time and he target only kid dressing room, ballerinas, gymnastic dressing room or women yoga lesson!! We were shocked that he targetting us just because we are yoga players!
After maybe 15 minutes, police came to take him. He was not in good shape. Because of the fight due to police station, he has 2 broken ribs and a “black eye” on half of his face. I just have a little bruise on my face and others girls just on their arms.
I just wanted to warn you. I really hope that behaviour was due to a crazy man and not from a new “vague of crime” targetting specially women yoga players.
