About Us
Meet Alita
Alita van Zyl is the heart behind Struisbaai Yoga – a space for mindful movement and gentle connection by the sea. Her calm presence and clear guidance create classes where everyone feels welcome, whether you’re stepping onto the mat for the first time or returning to deepen your practice.
Drawing on years of experience and a deep respect for the rhythm of the ocean, Alita helps students meet themselves with kindness. Each class is an invitation to breathe, move, and discover balance within.
Rooted in the Iyengar tradition, her teaching focuses on alignment, stability, and the mindful use of props to support every body. Through this approach, students build strength and confidence safely, finding freedom in structure and serenity in precision, both on and off the mat.
All levels of experience are embraced – from beginners discovering the joy of movement to seasoned practitioners refining their practice. Every class offers a space to grow at your own pace, guided by awareness, patience, and compassion.
