Dr. Anita T.
"I am a 40-year-old cardiologist, family doctor, and occupational physician, as well as a mother of three. Over the years, both in my practice and personal life, I’ve become more and more convinced that most chronic illnesses can be prevented with a healthy lifestyle, regular therapeutic exercise, and a balanced diet rich in nutrients and fiber. I have known Zita since high school, and she has always set the bar high in everything she does. When she became an Aviva Method instructor, I had no doubt that it would be something truly valuable for health and wellbeing. Out of curiosity, I joined her Aviva Foundation Course in a private setting—and it exceeded my expectations. At first, the health questionnaire may seem a bit intimidating, but it ensures that the exercises are tailored to each person’s needs. The method itself has a structured sequence with specific repetitions and timing adapted to cycles, conditions, and goals. There are so many small details and techniques that simply cannot be learned from a book or a video. Zita teaches with incredible attention to detail, creating a safe and supportive atmosphere. The four-hour course flew by so quickly, I hardly noticed the time. The exercises really do increase pelvic circulation and engage muscles that are essential for long-term quality of life—muscles that many other sports don’t specifically target. The course left me energized and motivated—not only to keep caring for others’ health but also to prioritize my own. I can wholeheartedly recommend Zita and the Aviva Method to anyone who wants to invest in their wellbeing."
"I have known Zita for a very long time. She is always extremely thorough and kind. I wholeheartedly recommend her to everyone. I completed the Aviva Method training online with Zita, and I experienced the same level of dedication and professionalism there as well. She is a true instructor. She explained everything clearly and paid close attention to every movement I made. If something wasn’t done correctly, she patiently helped me until the exercise was performed properly. The sessions had a very pleasant atmosphere, and I felt moderately tired in a positive, energizing way after each class. Since Zita held my sessions in the mornings, I noticed the following benefits: She warmed up my body very well, so I started the day feeling smooth and well-oiled. Movement became easier, and the constant pain in my shoulders, neck, and head decreased. I felt an extra boost of positive energy that lasted until the evening. I am a nurse and no longer young, and I would recommend these exercises to everyone who wants to move their body correctly, energize themselves, and be part of a supportive, friendly group. My favorite exercises were those supporting thyroid function. Although the method mainly focuses on regulating the menstrual cycle, it is absolutely worth trying even if that is not currently relevant for you. Give it a chance, and you will see how much it can offer you as well."

" I joined the Aviva Method Online Practicing Session feeling completely exhausted. Just ten minutes before it started, I honestly thought I wouldn’t manage — only my sense of commitment pulled me in front of the screen. But Zita’s vitality is truly remarkable. Minute by minute, my exhaustion faded away. The joy of movement took over, and I even found myself dancing. It felt really supportive to know that two other group members were practicing at the same time. I was exercising outdoors, and only at the end did I realize I had joyfully jumped barefoot all over the grass. I felt refreshed — both physically and emotionally. The session was very well organized, with excellent timing and energy flow. I especially appreciated the encouragement and the sense of presence Zita created throughout the practice. I also truly enjoyed the guided relaxation on her homepage at bedtime—it was a wonderful few minutes I’m very grateful for. My imagination and creativity gently opened and blossomed during the relaxation. "
"Zita is an excellent instructor, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to everyone. After the foundation session, I felt so motivated that I even joined the early morning practice classes. Waking up an hour earlier is a real challenge, but on the days when I manage to attend, my whole day feels more fulfilling. I get less tired, accomplish more tasks, and don’t even need coffee. The exercises truly feel energizing. I’m deeply grateful to Zita for teaching me the Aviva Method — I hardly notice my period cramps anymore. "

"I attended Zita’s private online Aviva Method class in English. I work as an English teacher in Japan, so clear and accurate language is very important to me. Zita’s English is confident, consistent, and easy to understand, with clear pronunciation throughout the class. She led the Aviva Method session very professionally. Her explanations were supported by presentations and images, and she used clear, school-level vocabulary, which makes the class easy to follow even for non-native English speakers. Zita is extremely precise and does not move on until she is sure that the exercises are being performed correctly. At the same time, she is very patient and always gives positive feedback when she sees that a movement has been done properly. This created a relaxed and supportive atmosphere during the class. I felt safe, comfortable asking questions, and well supported. She shared helpful lifestyle and nutrition tips and followed up afterward, which I greatly appreciated. Some elements of the Aviva exercises reminded me of yoga in terms of movement and physical effects. However, the sensations in my body after the Aviva workout were much more intense than what I usually experience after yoga. I observed the impact of the Aviva Exercises on my period the very next day after completing the first half of the course. The Aviva Method may affect each body differently, and you might notice changes as your body begins to respond. Practicing with attention and professional guidance allows you to safely observe how your body adapts and responds."
I wasn’t sure what to expect when I joined the course, but I am truly grateful that I did. From the very beginning, the clear explanations, thoughtful guidance, and safe, supportive atmosphere made the experience meaningful and inspiring. Zita’s passion and kindness, combined with her deep professional knowledge, created a space where learning and movement felt natural, intuitive, and empowering. By the end of the course, I felt completely recharged and deeply reconnected with my femininity. I also experienced the cycle-supporting effect of the exercises, which made the practice feel even more authentic and effective. I wholeheartedly recommend the Aviva foundational exercise sequence to all women who wish to nurture their femininity in a natural way, through conscious movement and gentle physical practice.

"As a retired healthcare professional over 70, I found this course truly outstanding. Zita thoughtfully adjusted the exercises to match my physical condition, which made the sessions feel safe and supportive. The movements themselves, together with the clear explanations of what we are doing and why, were highly motivating. The exercises were energizing, gently strengthening the pelvic floor, improving posture, stretching the muscles, and mobilizing the entire body. I was genuinely glad that I attended. Zita’s strong academic background and professional coaching certifications lend credibility to her work, making her training truly unique. From a professional perspective, I believe that a 30-minute Aviva gymnastic session twice a week should be the minimum for women over 40. This practice supports their femininity and helps preserve their physical well-being, allowing them to enjoy healthier and higher-quality years after retirement."
"I attended a private foundational Aviva Method session in person with Demeter Zita. I could easily write several pages about what I enjoyed in the course and Zita’s teaching. The course was highly professional and showcased her strong expertise. Zita shared a wealth of new and fascinating knowledge. Some of the exercises reminded me of Pilates, which made the Aviva practice even more enjoyable for me, as I love Pilates. What I appreciated most was her ability to explain the precise execution of the exercises by connecting them to images, bodily sensations, and stories. This approach made the learning process much easier, more fun, and memorable."

"I’m 70 years old, and last month I had the pleasure of taking part in Zita’s AVIVA course, which she fully tailored to suit my personal condition and pace. Zita is attentive, patient, and creates a safe, supportive environment that made me feel completely comfortable from the start. Even during the course, I already felt the benefits: my hip pain eased, I felt more energized and lighter, and even lost a few kilos that month. In addition to the exercises, our conversations about healthy eating were truly inspiring. They motivated me to consult a dietitian, who created a personalized nutrition plan for me. Following their advice strictly, my blood test results also improved significantly. The experience was so positive that I signed up for Zita’s MomMe Time course as well. This class was less dynamic, more gentle, and effective in strengthening my pelvic floor muscles. With continued practice, I now feel more confident when traveling and no longer worry about reaching the restroom in time. That’s a huge relief and gives me great freedom. I wholeheartedly recommend AVIVA exercises to everyone – and especially Zita as an instructor. She is truly exceptional."
"I am a medical student at the University of Debrecen, and I attended the Aviva Foundation Course together with my siblings. I had already heard a lot about the method and was curious to experience it myself. Zita teaches with great care and professionalism, and she fully captures your attention. Although the exercises may look simple at first glance and include familiar movements, their execution can be challenging. There are many small but important details to focus on at the same time — things you would never notice on your own — which makes the instructor’s guidance essential. What I especially enjoyed about the training was the variety of movements. Dynamic stretching and cardio elements alternate with bodyweight floor exercises that stretch and strengthen the muscles around the pelvis region. I experienced clear body-shaping and posture-improving effects. The Aviva Dance moved my entire body and effectively targeted the lower abdomen, glutes, waist, and pelvic floor. I warmly recommend Zita to anyone interested in the Aviva gymnastics."

"When we learned the tilt-and-tap exercise, I tapped my thighs, with my thumbs resting along the bikini line. The vibration from the movement shifted something inside me. Suddenly, I couldn’t hold it back anymore, and I burst out laughing. Zita reassured me that this was completely okay. She explained that the vibration helps release blocks and that tension can come out as laughter, too. That moment stayed with me. Zita said something I still keep in my mind: “The Aviva dance is not graceful, not stylish, and some movements may even look silly or awkward. The purpose of the Aviva Dance is not to impress anyone—it is designed for you to enjoy, restore balance, and maintain your health.” And she was right. For me, health is a real value. As a teenager, choosing to care for my health and do a scientifically supported ‘weird-looking’ dance to old-fashioned music—without worrying about what others might think—felt brave. Much wiser than doing unhealthy things or following industrial fashions and trends just to fit in. By the end of the Aviva Foundations Session, I felt lighter, happier, and grateful to have taken part."
"I attended a private, online introductory Aviva Method session with Zita Demeter in English. She led the session with the same professionalism and clarity as she does in her native language. Zita is a very kind and patient instructor. I recommend her to anyone who wants to learn Aviva gymnastics. During the online classes, we learned each pose in detail. Zita constantly made sure that each exercise was accurate, thus ensuring independent practice later. She presented a comprehensive view of the beneficial effects of the Aviva method and the effects of each exercise. "

"Zita’s guided relaxation on the Vitality Flame website in Hungarian has become one of my favorite guided relaxation recordings recently. The structure of the audio -focused on releasing negative emotions and awakening inner strength- is beautifully designed. Its rhythm and pace are just right, and the conscious guidance, together with Zita’s kind and soothing voice, supports deep relaxation and letting go. The length of the bedtime relaxation is perfect after a tiring day: You can lie down in bed and let it gently carry you into sleep- and it’s completely okay if you fall asleep along the way. Personally, it has helped me fall asleep many times during restless nights, and I often wake up feeling refreshed and light-hearted. I wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone and look forward to more relaxation and meditation recordings from Vitality Flame."
