MEET
ANDREAS.


Founder of Class Antwerp, Andreas Størholdt Braaten is a physiotherapist, movement coach, and sound facilitator with nearly 20 years of experience in movement, rehabilitation, and performance.

Originally from Norway and educated in the Netherlands and Belgium, Andreas runs a separate physiotherapy practice alongside the studio. His clinical work focuses on running injuries, spinal conditions, and overload complaints. He specializes in active rehabilitation and exercise therapy, combining manual treatment, dry needling, and myofascial techniques with strength-based reconditioning.

He works in close collaboration with Will Personal Training for post-op rehab and performance coaching, and supports runners and yogis through strength-focused training programs (Run Performance & Yoga Performance). He also integrates neuromuscular entrainment through rhythm and sound into selected cases, and co-develops Yin Yoga Therapy — a targeted, science-based approach using yin yoga to support injury recovery. He collaborates with Mariana Mendoza (PhD candidate in sleep science) on The Sleep Code, combining movement, sound, and neuroscience.

At Class Antwerp, Andreas teaches (aerial) yin yoga, beatflow power & mobility, and beatflow barre. Furthermore, he facilitates crystal soundbaths — a meditative experience designed to regulate the nervous system and support long-term resilience. He also facilitates ecstatic dance events as a dj.

Expect clear guidance, grounded expertise, and a passion for helping people move and feel better — whether through sound, movement, or precision rehab.
