★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Yoga has helped me with different seasons of my life, and pregnancy yoga played a huge part! It has helped me with my two pregnancies (pre & postnatally) especially in enduring labour pains. I’m glad I came across Mahina Mahai when I was looking for a nearby class with my second pregnancy. I had a natural birth & relatively quick labour with my first child but had a hard time pushing him out, which was what I wanted to focus on with my classes with Petra. It definitely payed off bec I had a very quick labour & delivery with my second one without accumulating any tears.
The classes reminded me to be more mindful & intentional (both in class and in my day to day life). The breathing exercises was very helpful in keeping myself in-tune with my body. I just enjoyed going to Petra’s classes and even the zoom class during L4 lockdown (I managed to attend one just few days before I popped!) It was just like going to her actual class bec Petra’s instructions were concise & clear and as always, she would modify poses depending on how comfortable you are with the asanas. I was lucky to have tried her pregnancy massage as well, which was very nice & relaxing!! Something very rewarding for tired pregnant mommas!
Again, thank you so much Petra! All your encouragement, kind words and nuggets of wisdom were all very helpful! I appreciate it all, and yes can’t wait to go back to the mat with my tiny yogi :)

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Would HIGHLY recommend Petra and her pregnancy course! I want to thank Petra so much for all the help, confidence and wisdom she gave me during my pregnancy. I began her course at 18 weeks and then went on to do casual classes until 38 weeks and these set up such good foundations for my VBAC homebirth. I also had pregnancy massages with her as well as doing her couples course and these were also so rewarding. Thank you again Petra for everything throughout my pregnancy.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We recently welcomed our beautiful baby girl at an incredible home water birth.
I feel like the yoga really helped get my body and especially mind ready. The labour was just 12 hours and I believe the breathing and other techniques taught by Petra helped me progress well!
Highly recommend! Thanks for everything Petra.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Being pregnant can be overwhelming with our body changing, feeling baby and thinking about the delivery by hoping that everything will go fine. For that, I couldn't be more persuasive to HIGHLY recommend Petra pregnancy yoga classes!
In my case, with lockdown and COVID happening all her classes happened on line via Zoom. She is really warm and very knowledgeable in terms of pregnancy. Even though it is virtual, she prepares our body in the best way for delivery by including all type of exercises in terms of relaxation, breathing and keeping the best positions throughout pregnancy.
These online classes definitely helped me to be more confident and be more prepared for labour! Thank you Petra!!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I have got a lot out of attending Petra’s yoga sessions during my pregnancy. I attended the 12 week course and pelvic floor workshop and found Petra’s instructions and explanations very easy to follow. Petra has a lovely, warm nature and is a great teacher. I feel empowered and ready for labour with the breathing and birthing techniques I have learnt.
I am now attending the yoga and relaxation classes for my final few weeks. Having practised yoga before my pregnancy these classes have been an excellent way to continue practising knowing I am doing it safely with my changing body. Although the classes are very suitable for those who have not practiced yoga before.
I have not had an easy pregnancy suffering with hyperemesis, coming to the mat, focusing on breathing and gently moving my body has helped enormously with the mental challenge of pregnancy. Days I attend classes I also find I have better quality sleep and the general discomforts of pregnancy such as back pain and legs cramps improve.
I highly recommend to other pregnant women.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I highly recommend this place for parental yoga. Petra is such a talented, kind and positive lady who helped me allot throughout my 12 weeks program even after finishing my course she helped with new techniques that can ease my fear to overcome from labour. Good thing is you don’t need any yoga experience before joining her classes. Her classes helped my mind and body to prepare for birthing baby in very positive way.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 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!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Doing Petra's pregnancy yoga course was the best thing I did in preparation for the birth of my baby. I was hesitant at first about doing an online yoga course, but actually it was really really great. It was so convenient to just open my laptop and be ready to go. I didn't feel as if I missed out on anything by doing the course online, Petra is still able to check your form & instruct you on how to adjust if you need it. It also helped to get me into the habit of doing the stretches in my own home, and I believe that by doing the stretches regularly in conjunction with Spinning Babies exercises & daily walks was a big part of why I had a smooth delivery (Two days after the course ended!) Thanks so much Petra, I'll always appreciate your help!
