About Zita

I’m here to support you to refind  your core being - by alleviating back-related pain, imbalanced movement patterns, and stress symptoms. 

My work is based in the Critical Alignment Yoga method in which we develop ease, flexibility and an inner strength - both in the body and mind. My aim is to bring lightness, energy and joy back into your life – by understanding what pulls us away from it.

I am a senior Critical Alignment Yoga & Therapy teacher, and foremost a lifelong learner. Through my own experience and studies, I realized that the body has a self-healing capacity: if we restore the open connection with the body, and dare to let go of tension patterns, the body will always move towards balance by itself. The CA method offers unique tools to start this research into connection, and to choose for a lighter, freer life every day.

''I look forward to CAY with Zita each week. Although the class is simple, the

movements can be challenging due to old ingrained habits of poor posture. In CAY, I
am learning how to relax the tension within and around my spine, creating new
habits for better posture. In addition to a better posture, I am able to breathe more
deeply and with ease. Within a month, I've noticed a huge improvements within
my body, the class, other yoga classes, and in my everyday life. I highly
recommend this class for people of all levels.''

“Zita is a phenomenal teacher. Thoughtful, knowledgeable, articulate – she gets
you in and out of postures safely, accommodating your specific needs. Prior to her classes, I often felt like my spine was working in isolation. Now, I feel the muscles
around the spine, I can feel the support around my movement. I’m excited to
continue learning from Zita, everyone needs this strength!”

“Anyone who has experienced a serious lower back injury will know how debilitating
the fear of hurting your back again can be. I was desperate for a solution, when I
started Critical Alignment Therapy sessions. Zita was exactly the teacher I was
looking for. She is very knowledgeable and has a gentle, but very clear way of
teaching, which inspires trust. With the help of Zita, I regained mobility and found
new strength in my back. Without the previous painkillers”
