Yoga classes in Sport Vlaanderen Hofstade

Join outdoor yoga classes in Sport Vlaanderen Hofstade (aka Bloso domein) on Zenplatform. Yoga classes in Hofstade every Thursday evening at 20h00. June & August 2023.

The yoga class takes place on a special wooden platform – Zensportplatform in Sport Vlaanderen (aka Bloso Domein) in Hofstade, Zemst. It is surrounded by trees with a beautiful view to the lake and bird songs all around. Practicing yoga in nature is amazing!

Here are some practical things to consider:
  • Bring your yoga mat + blanket or a warm scarf for relaxation and to use as a cushion
  • Dress in layers + make sure you have warm socks on if the weather is cold
  • Mosquito repellant / sunscreen can be a good idea – we are located close to water
  • Bring water or tea with you to stay well hydrated

How to get there:

The platform is located between the 2 bigger lakes in the forest outside on the fenced area of the beach.

By bicycle or on foot:
– coming from Hofstade / Mechelen-South: Enter the domain through at the entrance near the swimming pool of Hofstade. The easiest way is following the path between the 2 lakes and take a left just before coming in front of the gate of the beach. It can take a bit more than 10 minutes to reach the platform from this entrance.
– coming from Schiplaken: Enter the park near the entrance at the beach side and follow the road in between the buildings, with the main lake and beach on your left side.

By car: Park at the “strandparking”. Go direction the sports buildings at the beach and follow the path to the right. Keep in mind you have to pay for this parking.
Not afraid of a little walk? Park at the Swimming Pool in Hofstade. The parking is free. Enter the domain, and walk in between the 2 main lakes in the direction of the beach.

Gentle yoga

A gentle approach to movement, body and breath. 
Gentle yoga classes are for those who need a moment of rest and relaxation. 

What to expect?

We start with gradual warming up of the body. We learn to sync movement with your breath. At times in class you will engage in slow flow of poses to increase mobility and strength, followed by longer held poses to increase flexibility. Ending of the class will be a deep relaxation in order to release any tension.

Gentle yoga is suitable for all levels and all ages.

People with special health conditions* or limited movement (if your doctor recommends movement), as well as people with chronic pain are welcome in the Gentle yoga classes.

* If you have special condition or health complain please inform me before the class via email: elize.tikmane@gmail.com

Gentle yoga gives me relaxation for body and mind. Overall more flexible and smooth movement, less pain in muscles and joints and better sleep.

Hatha yoga

Hatha yoga is a classic yoga style. Step by step we build strength, flexibility and stamina. In addition we train awareness of the breath in movement and relaxation.

What to expect?

In Hatha yoga class you will do a wide variety of yoga asanas. Here dynamic movement alternates with longer help poses. In each class we work on the whole body. Furthermore we explore a specific area of body in depth. For instance core strength, spine or hip mobility, shoulders, neck as well as balance and others. Relaxation at the end of the class is an integral part of the practice.

Hatha yoga is suitable for people of all ages and levels.*

* If you have special condition or health complain please inform me before the class via email: elize.tikmane@gmail.com

Hatha yoga gives me balance, peace of mind, inner strength, joy and happiness.

About me

Elize Tikmane

I teach weekly Hatha yoga, Gentle yoga and Yin Yang yoga yoga classes in Mechelen area (Belgium). I offer Yin yoga and Yoga Nidra (deep relaxation) sessions too.

My intention is to create time and space for you to reconnect, to exercise, to feel and to observe your body. I give you a moment of respite to restore your energy. Above all, I am here to help you find joy in movement and ease in stillness. Therefore this is a chance for quality me-time.

My approach is gentle and observant. To begin with I keep an eye for your specific needs and your unique body. Further it is important for me to create inclusive, non-competitive environment. An environment where every participant has chance to grow steady in strength and flexibility.
