Rita was born and raised in Antwerp and discovered her passion for yoga ten years ago during her first Ashtanga class. She immediately connected with the repetition, the breath, the sweat, and the focus. At first, it was the physical aspect that drew her in. But as she explored more classes, she began to experience the deeper layers of the practice. Yoga became her therapy, her medicine. For the first time, she truly felt her body. She learned to turn inward, and in that inner stillness, she found peace. A peace she now wishes to share with others.

The idea of becoming a yoga teacher grew gradually. Teaching was already familiar to her: she had previously taught skiing and led spinning and step aerobics classes. Eventually, she completed the 200-hour yoga teacher training at Antwerp Yoga. The training was both intense and transformative, a deep dive into the world of yoga that brought not only knowledge and inspiration, but also a deeper connection with herself.

Today, Rita feels grateful to guide others on their yoga journey; with presence, care, and a deep trust in the healing and unifying power of yoga.
