Kopie YTT - Teacher - Rita

Rita Justus

"If I hadn't discovered yoga, I wouldn’t be alive today." 

In 2017, Rita took her first step onto a yoga mat, and it became the first step into a life of fulfillment, awareness, and vitality. In yoga, we often say that the practice doesn’t just change us—it transforms how we see life itself. Everything we need is always within reach, but what we often miss is the present moment, as we cling too tightly to the past or worry about the future.

A life-changing experience inspired Rita to pursue a yoga teacher training, driven by the desire to share what yoga gave her during a difficult time: stability, care, love, and the ability to meet herself with softness and curiosity. 

In 2019, Rita completed her first 200hrs+ Vinyasa Yoga training. Since then, she has continued her education, diving deeper into various disciplines such as Yin, Movement, Handstands, and more, learning from teachers like Stefanie Arend, Karimu Samuels, Patrick Beach, Cameron and Melayne Shayne, and Yuval on Hands. Her philosophy is to never remain static, but to surrender to life and its ongoing process. Currently, Rita is further expanding her knowledge with training in Breathwork/Pranayama and Somatic Emotional Body Work.

Rita teaches heart-opening, powerful, dynamic, and flowing Vinyasa classes, all while maintaining a focus on meditation, breath, and alignment. She creates a space where you are safe to feel, understand, and grow. "The way you move on the mat is the way you move through life"—this is her belief. As a teacher, she guides you to places—both physically and mentally—where you confront yourself, learn to love and understand who you are, and as a result, move through this world in harmony with yourself and those around you.

Beyond the yoga studio, Rita is also a school teacher in Berlin, where she works closely with young minds, nurturing their potential and helping them discover their unique strengths. Her purpose and passion lie in working with people, understanding their personalities, and helping them unlock their true potential. Whether on the mat or in the classroom, Rita finds immense fulfillment in guiding others, knowing that each person has the power to grow, evolve, and shine.
