Elizabeth Atkinson is a former lawyer and certified yoga & meditation teacher offering practical, workplace-friendly practices for legal professionals in Ottawa and online.

EAYM (“aim”) supports lawyers and other busy professionals in finding mental clarity, peak performance and lasting change through precise breath practices, intentional movement and guided meditation.

I’m Elizabeth Atkinson—formerly a lawyer, climate-policy expert and UN negotiator—now a certified yoga and meditation teacher. Drawing on my own experience in high-pressure roles, I help you navigate stress, sharpen focus and open to fresh perspectives. I teach with confidence, sincerity and a touch of humour—an approach that underpins everything I design, from weekly online practice series to company workshops and immersive retreats.

The approach—breathe, move, meditate—is designed to meet you where you are—no fancy props required, just an open mind and a willingness to explore.

Shared reflections

  • Elizabeth's classes changed how we feel about yoga. Her knowledge and enthusiasm, indeed her love for the craft, is contagious and has us looking eagerly forward to the next session. Each week we are more energized, more flexible and stronger.

  • Targeted meditation as the ultimate component of Elizabeth's sessions is truly effective. Consistent with session intent - relaxing, energizing or restorative - the meditations give me a mental vehicle to retain the benefits of the entire session long after the actual practice ends.

  • I've been participating in the online weekly practice since January 2025, and I love it!!! Each class is energizing, yet totally calming, and there's always something new to learn. Elizabeth is an attentive and intuitive teacher who adapts every pose to work for everyone.
