👍👍 Thank you Petra! I really enjoyed your pregnancy yoga classes! The yoga sessions have prepared me mentally and physically for child birth. I experienced pelvic pain for which Petra kindly tweaked some exercises for me so that the pain did not worsen. I wish I had recorded Petra's calming voice while...

    Petra's classes are fantastic. I attended three years ago while pregnant with my first and again recently with my second. The breathing exercises, positions for labour and visualisations are all incredibly helpful and definitely gave me a great foundation for a natural labour and the right mindset during labour. I look forward to attending postnatal yoga and/or baby massage as I missed out on them the first time!

    I am so grateful that I was recommended to join Petra's pregnancy yoga. It has definitely helped me throughout my pregnancy journey. I started off attending a few physical classes, then lock down happened and we had to move to Zoom classes. Initially I thought it would have been difficult, but Petra still puts in all the care and effort to make sure that the ladies in her classes are doing the moves correctly, as she individually checks on us. With Petra's professional guidance and experience, someone like me (yoga newbie) has gained the confidence in doing yoga and preparing myself for labour. The special thing about joining Petra's classes was that I actually put in the time to focus on my baby and myself, and simply being in the moment - focusing on the breath, as well as connecting with my baby. It's simply magical!

    I highly recommend Petra's classes. She makes you feel warm, welcome and relaxed. I have attended her 12 week course and already find that the techniques she has taught me (both mind and body) will be invaluable throughout the rest of my pregnancy and birth. I will continue to attend Petra's classes right up until my baby's birth date. I really look forward to my pregnancy massage I have booked with her as well as attending the other classes she has on offer once baby is born too. Thanks Petra :)

    I attended the 12 week pregnancy yoga course, the weekly pregnancy yoga and the yoga with baby classes. I highly recommend all three of these classes! What I learned in the 12 week course was invaluable during my labour, I managed to have a natural labour and put alot of it down to the breathing techniques and the preparation Petra taught. The weekly yoga was also fantastic in keeping mobile. I took my baby from 12 weeks old until 5 months old to yoga with baby classes, I enjoyed these as they helped regain a little strength and flexibility. Petra is great with the babies here. Petra was a huge part of my pregnancy and early postnatal days and I will always fondly remember these days. See you during my next pregnancy Petra :)

    I highly recommend Petra and her pregnancy yoga classes. I've never been a person who does much yoga, but i decided to invest in the 12 weeks course with Petra to help with breathing during pregnancy and labour. Without Petra's teachings and the techniques I learnt from her, my labour and birthing experience would not have been what it was. Thank you Petra for everything you taught me. I would advise all my friends to go to your classes, they definitely kept me calm. I also met some lovely women there too, which is always a bonus.

    Thank you very much Petra! I really enjoyed these pre-natal yoga sessions. I loved that the sessions included both yoga and stretching. My contractions leading up to the active birth were over 32 hours so I was so pleased that I had breathing techniques to help me work through them, it made the biggest difference. This was recommended to me by my sister who had attended Petra’s classes for all three of her births. It seemed many people in the class had also heard from word of mouth . I couldn’t recommend it enough and definitely will be back for my next birth.

    I really enjoy Petra’s classes, and wish I should have started in the earlier pregnancy. The classes helped ease all my body ache (for example I was suffering pretty severe pelvic pain, hardly able to move properly, the pain seemed to go away after the class, which I really surprised). I thought I would have given up some days due to the pregnancy pains but the outcome of each class encourages me to keep going to prepare my body better for labour and future wellbeing.

    *Highly recommended!* I found the prenatal yoga course incredibly valuable for both my pregnancy and birth of my baby. The stretches and meditation were wonderful for relaxation and for helping baby to get into the ideal position for birth. I used the breathing techniques during labour and found them extremely useful. I am confident that the techniques I learned from Petra helped me to birth a 4.4kg baby naturally with no tearing. I definitely look forward to doing this course again for a future pregnancy! Currently I am doing the postnatal yoga course. I have found this is an excellent way to start strengthening my body after growing and birthing a baby. Petra is a wonderful teacher - she is warm, friendly and careful to ensure students do the exercises safely. I always look forward to our classes and highly recommend any future/current mamas to take her courses.

    Thank you Petra! I really enjoyed your pregnancy yoga classes! The yoga sessions have prepared me mentally and physically for child birth. I experienced pelvic pain for which Petra kindly tweaked some exercises for me so that the pain did not worsen. I wish I had recorded Petra's calming voice while she used to teach breathing techniques, to play it on loop during my labour! I would highly recommend Petra's classes for all pregnant ladies out there!!

    I attended the 12 week Pregnancy yoga in-person classes with Petra. She was recommended by a close friend (who had 2 kids and both time did yoga with Petra). I had such a great experience. As my first pregnancy, there were a lot of unknowns and Petra's classes helped me trust and understand my body more. I came out of each class felling relaxed and more confident. As a result, I had a very positive delivery, where I noticed that I was using yoga positions to my advantage during contractions and most importantly using the breathing techniques that Petra taught me. My body (muscle memory kicked in because of her classes). During her classes she also shared how our husbands can assist - and that was incredible for my husband as felt like he could help during the pains. I recommend Petra to everyone - and am very grateful for her classes.
