GoogleI have followed Petra for years as an excellent yoga teacher. In addition to her work, I also liked her studio. When she announced that she represents Great Yoga Wall system and sells elements, I did not hesitate to ask her for an offer. She listened to my wishes and gave the best proposal for the size and appearance of the wall with all the technical details that facilitated my installation. The whole process of ordering and delivery was expeditious. I am satisfied with the cooperation with Petra and I recommend her as a reliable partner!
I tried yoga for the first time through Petrayoga, and I couldn’t have asked for a better teacher. Petra’s a very easygoing person and immediately made me feel comfortable even though I was a bit nervous at first. Throughout the class she gave lots of adjustments, checked in often to make sure everything felt right and explained each movement clearly. The studio itself has such a calm ambient atmosphere it’s the perfect space to unwind and focus. I couldn’t recommend Petra more, especially if you’re new to yoga or looking for a teacher who’s both supportive and skilled!! Thank you!!:)
Petra’s yoga sessions have been a great addition to our week and are a great way to kick off the workday. She strikes the perfect balance between challenging and achievable, which she tailors each session to what the group wants. She keeps things encouraging without ever overdoing it, so you feel pushed but in a good way. The classes are fun, relaxed, and genuinely motivating, helped a lot by her sense of humour ("if it hurts you're doing the right thing"). Petra's also helped us understand how yoga actually makes a difference, from improving posture and mobility to undoing the effects of sitting at a desk all day. I’m properly hooked now and hope to keep it up long term.
Petra is an excellent coach for our practice. Very patient, kind and takes her time with everyone. Yoga is a sacred practice and even in a corporate environment, Petra makes it feel very grounded. She is quite knowledgeable in Iyenger Yoga and is methodical with all of us here, helping us push forward in our individual journey with Yoga. The class always flows smoothly and we always look forward to it weekly.
Petra is fantastic! My husband and I have been doing yoga with her for 18 months (starting as complete beginners) and she has worked wonders. Her lessons are completely tailored to us - she carefully guides us through the poses adapting them to our abilities and advising how to deal with niggles and injuries. The results are great - we are more relaxed and flexible and my husband hasn’t had any back problems since he started with her! I can’t recommend Petra enough - we always leave feeling happier, relaxed and much better for our hour of yoga!
