About Me

Guka Pitu
Yoga, Breathwork and Meditation Instructor
Founder of Guka Pitu
SheEO of Yoga Nest Studio

My story, my yoga journey, began over 15 years ago when I attended a random class in my hometown in Poland. Since that moment, I have never stopped discovering—and being inspired by—the power of yoga. I started my yoga teacher training in 2016 and have been learning ever since.

First, I completed a 250-hour vinyasa yoga teacher training course in Zurich, Switzerland. This inspired me to travel to India and deep-dive into hatha yoga with a 200-hour teacher training course at one of the ashrams in Rishikesh. Following that, I joined Threes PhysiYoga Method Program to complete an intensive 250-hour PhysiYoga training course for yoga teachers. Under the guidance of top physiotherapists from New York, I’ve been studying anatomy and mobility in yoga—which I’ve been bringing to my classes ever since. I also recently enrolled in Anatomy in Yoga training with Dr. Andrew McGonigle and Just Breathe Training with Michael Wong.

In addition to group classes and special events, I offer private sessions, aerial yoga, sound healing ceremonies with Tibetan healing bowls, as well as mindful corporate events. In May,
I opened a Yoga Studio in Zurich - Yoga Nest. This is where I teach regular classes nowadays.

As you can see, I consider myself a ‘forever student’. I strongly believe that all forms of movement link the mind and body, and can have a powerful healing effect both mentally and physically. I incorporate many traditions—vinyasa, hatha, PhysiYoga, restorative yoga, sound bath, meditations—into my teaching.

My ultimate goal is to use all aspects of yoga to empower my students and enrich their lives with healthy movement, calm mind and conscious breath.
