Thirteen years ago, a rap lyric about doing handstands sparked Rita’s journey into yoga and she’s been upside down (and grounded) ever since. What started as curiosity turned into a deep, life-changing practice. Today, Rita is a passionate yoga instructor, prenatal yoga specialist, certified doula, and devoted mother and wife. With a deep belief in the transformative power of movement and mindful support, she has dedicated her work to guiding women through the profound journey of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum recovery. Drawing from years of experience on the mat, Rita offers nurturing and inclusive spaces where women can feel empowered, informed, and deeply connected to their bodies. Rita is devoted to helping others move through this sacred chapter of life with confidence, grace, and community.

What does yoga mean to you?

Yoga is about calming of the mind, finding patience and feeling strength physically. Yoga is about the journey, not the destination.

What is your favorite asana and why?

Pigeon. I love how relaxing pigeon makes me feel. It’s a great hip opener and makes you surrender as you fold forward. There is something about all the different variations you can take in pigeon that inspires me and makes it my favorite.
