About elize.yoga
I’m Elīze Tīkmane, a yoga teacher from Latvia, based in Mechelen, Belgium.
I guide gentle, mindful yoga that honours each body’s uniqueness and invites you to reconnect, move with awareness, and find ease in stillness.
The kind of yoga I’m drawn to (and the kind I teach) is one that feels truly personal and unique to your own body.
Why?
Because we are not the same. Our bodies aren’t the same. We have different ages, experiences, medical histories. Even our skeletons are shaped differently.
How?
By slowing down and encouraging feeling. By noticing sensations and listening to what they’re trying to tell us. By exploring skeletal variations and understanding how poses can be adapted. Or replaced - to create a similar effect that works for your body.
Yoga, for me, isn’t about fitting into a shape. It’s about finding the shape that fits you.
