Jacques Huyghe

About Jacques

Jacques Huyghe learned TM in 1978, as a student. He lived in a house where students shared their lives with people with a physical or mental disability. One of them started meditating and visibly grew calmer. That was enough.

An engineer from Ghent University, he received a Rotary Club scholarship for a year of study at Maharishi International University. He earned his doctorate and then spent 43 years in biomedical research and teaching, at Eindhoven University of Technology and the University of Limerick in Ireland, and as a researcher for the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences. Part of that research concerned the effects of TM on brain waves.

He completed TM teacher training in 1988 in Seelisberg, Switzerland. Since then he has taught more than a thousand people to meditate. His centre in Vosselaar, near Turnhout, won the KBC award 'Het Gat in de Markt' in 2013 and is recognised by Sport Vlaanderen as a yoga school. He also teaches in Eindhoven and Antwerp, in Dutch, French and English.
