I attended Petra’s classes throughout my pregnancy right through until my little girl was crawling. All through, Petra’s experience as both a teacher and a mother, and her warmth and responsiveness to the needs of both mums and bubs in her classes, made this a real highlight of the week. In the lively crawlers class […]
I’m so grateful to Petra for her guidance, support and fantastic yoga classes. I attended pregnancy yoga, baby massage and post natal yoga and absolutely loved every minute of it. During pregnancy it gave me time and guidance to focus on what was happening inside me and prepare for the birth. I felt so positive […]
Petra is a lovely calm soul and I enjoyed every moment of pregnancy yoga and labour breathing classes – my gorgeous, healthly wee girl Saffron Jane Christabell was born on november 3rd 2014 by emergency c section in the end, but all the preparation in Petra’s classes help me breathe and stay calm We are […]
Just wanted to say a huge thank you for everything you taught me in your yoga classes. Our son Hunter was born just over 3 weeks ago, after a 4.5 hour labour and natural water birth. I had continued to practice your yoga exercises right up til the day he was born. The concepts I […]
I just wanted to get in touch to let you know how fantastic I found the pregnancy yoga classes. I was induced at 38 weeks and knew that this could really decrease my chances of having the natural delivery that I really wanted and I had some anxiety around this. I found your classes so […]
Love your classes Petra! It was something I looked forward to every week while I was pregnant. It really helped me release anxieties and get some lovely stretching done too. My baby girl Siena came early. I had contractions the evening after class so I used the breathing and exercise techniques you taught us, which […]
I gave birth to a 4kg wee boy who we named Remy on Friday night. Everything went well and I was able to have my planned home birth while Jackson slept, so cool for him to wake up in the morning to a baby brother! I had a long latent labour phase again but it […]
Thank you Petra! These classes are INVALUABLE for pregnancy and childbirth. I delivered a healthy baby boy via VBAC using the breathing techniques and positions you teach. The knowledge and skill set you pass on is definitely a must have for expectant Mums and partners too! Much gratitude!
Thank you so much Petra for the 12 weeks of yoga – I couldn’t have prepared for my first pregnancy and birth in any better way. I ended the course beginning to look forward to labour and when the time came, I truly was prepared. The breathing practice, positions and visualizations helped so much to […]
The first piece of pregnancy advice my mum gave me over Skype from China was, ‘you must enroll in Petra’s pregnancy and childbirth class’. My mum has been a midwife in west Auckland for the past 18 years. She says she can always tell in labour the women who have attended Petra’s class because of […]
