Hello
Yoga and Meditation
I completed my 200hourAshtanga yoga teacher training in Goa,
India in February 2020, I also qualified as a Yin yoga teacher
later the same year. My other qualifications include-
Level 2 Food and Nutrition,
Level 2 Mental Health First Aid
Level 2 & Level 3 Counselling.
I have also studied traditional Chinese medicine and its benefits for our wellbeing and health. It is believed that there is a force that is vital in all life, in traditional Chinese medicine it is referred to as Chi, in Yoga and Ayurveda it is called Prana.
Often our bodies are doing one thing and our minds are in a totally different place, through a regular yoga and/or meditation practice we can become more relaxed and be present.
On my website there is a page dedicated to meditation where you will find a short meditation for you to enjoy. Namaste.
"Yoga does not transform the way we see things, it transforms the person who sees.”

Your time your practice
You may want to choose a gentle yoga class, a vinyasa flow or maybe something more powerful and dynamic the choice is yours.
There are many benefits to practicing yoga-
- Improves flexibility-touching your toes may seem a longway off but with regular yoga you will become more flexible.
- Yin yoga and longer held poses helps to work deep into your fascia making you stronger.
- Improve your posture-slumping over desks and computers can cause long term problems, yoga will help you to strengthen for example your back and neck and correct your posture.
- Protects your back-back bends and forward bends and twists will help to keep your discs supple.
- Regular yoga practice has been seen to improve bone density.
- Yoga increases your blood circulation with twists and inversions helping the blood flow.
About Me
Adapting
Yoga has become a large part of my life alongside my meditation practice.
I am happy to deliver yoga classes one to one, or in groups large or small. One to one classes can be in your own home and the classes can be tailored to your own individual needs, ideal if you want a refresher or perhaps you are recovering from illness and want your yoga practice to be at a slower pace.
Please take at look at the classes that I teach on the classes page and if nothing suits please contact me on info@yogawithpetra.co.uk
Yoga is the union of the body and the mind
Ashtanga and Yin yoga compliment each other beautifully. Each can be taught separately or together in the same class helping to unite the body and the mind.
