In an apartment in the center of Prague, she hides a yoga oasis and a dressing room full of sequins – Lifee.cz

To our show Welcome! we invited this time actress Jitka Asterová – or rather we invited ourselves into her kingdom. She furnished the apartment in which she lives exactly according to her taste and needs. Because right after we in the living room sat down, she declared: “This is where I relax, receive visitors and it’s also my yoga studio!” And she didn’t hang around and showed off a little of her yogic art. In the bathroom, she startled the editor Šárka – how and with what, let yourself be surprised! And finally, she boasted a wardrobe that is the dream of many women.

Jitka thought yoga was terribly boring

I see a beautiful Buddha image here with you! How did you come to him?
My son’s ex-girlfriend gave it to me. It’s the original and she brought it rolled up from Vietnam. I like him very much because I have never seen such a gentle Buddha anywhere. It calms me down nicely.

You mentioned you do yoga here, that’s fitting, right?
Exactly. The students are facing the picture, I have my back and I draw energy from it. He is the most beautiful Buddha I know.

How did you get into yoga in the first place?
It was quite a long journey, I went through all kinds of exercises, I even did strength training and weightlifting. Do you remember that once upon a time we used to go to practice together and Mahulena Bočanová with us? But even then I heard: “You should start practicing yoga, Jitka!” I tried it and immediately left it with the words: “It’s so boring!” But then I came to the right place at the right time… and that was it!

The author prefers not to even remember the stories from the book About sex with Jitka Asterová

I noticed you filled the living room with flowers. Are they all genuine?
Some yes – I especially love blooming flowers – there are no indoor ones that bloom for a long time, from spring through summer and through winter. But I have a friend, the actress Klára Jirsáková, who makes beautiful flower decorations. Well, when she visited me, she said: “Jitka, I see what you like,” and she made several of them for me too, exactly tailored to my apartment.

Where did you get those weird chairs, I’m really intrigued by them!
They were made by a friend of mine who is a carpenter and lived in India for a long time. We spent many evenings together talking about chairs… And the best is the chair for my ex-boyfriend – every time he comes over, I direct him to it with a sly smile. He still has no idea why.

And the carpenter friend was just a friend? Nothing more?
Well, there was a spark between us. That was all. But I looked everywhere for inspiration for the sex show I did for years on the radio and for my book. And with friends. You too. But when I leaf through the book, I just see what I was up to… I don’t even want to remember it anymore. Some things one should forget anyway!

Jitka spends a lot of time in the bathroom and also enjoys a relaxing bath

You blurted out to me in some kind of mask, where did you get it, what is it for?
It is from South Korea and when you put it on, you will be enlightened! But seriously: some light is healing, others stimulate collagen… I use it every morning and if someone happens to ring the bell, I go to the door with a mask on my face. A lot of people get scared and don’t come a second time.

Tell me – are you spending more time in the bathroom as you get older?
I would like to say less – but more. I try to take good care of my skin. There is a special treatment for each part of the face. This is not like our mothers’ days – my mother, for example, used baby oil all her life because there was nothing else.

I remember your bathroom in one of the past apartments, which was black – like a tomb…
It was black and white. And this one is beige with white, I have a lot of white attributes here, although you probably perceive it as dark again, see. I also have a bathtub here and once in a while I treat myself to a scented bath.

What is your favorite thing to wear? What clothes get you?
I have to keep glittering now, I always have my least favorite pieces on hand. No dressing up in black – no, on the contrary, color and cheerfulness. I also sparkle during the day, I go shopping dressed up, I wear a gold shirt with jeans…

But I see that your wardrobe is full to overflowing, what are you doing with it all?
I’m knocking out. I can do that, just recently I gave a big bag to Bára Nesvadbová for charity. And I eliminate uncompromisingly. I used to have a skinny and a fat wardrobe, depending on how I was doing – now I just have a skinny one. The fat one had to go. When I get fat, I have nothing to wear.

Do you have something that can be called a rare item?
I have, but it’s not a dress. My most treasured possession is a purse I’ve had for twenty-five years and made from soda pop lids. When I was with her once in Paris, the saleswomen in luxury stores really liked her. But I won’t give it to anyone.
