"Petra offers a nice combination of both meditation and core strength training, which always is a great workout"

Yoga

Since 2002, I have had a yoga practice, and have tried Ashtanga, Yin, Vinyasa, Bikram, Therapeutic, Jivamukti, Tantra, Anusara, Kripalu Yoga, as well as Pilates. I have spent time practicing Zazen and other forms of Meditation, Mindfulness Meditation, Yoga Nidra, breathing exercises (Pranayama), and chanting (Kirtan).

I graduated from 200 hour Kripalu Yoga Teacher training in 2009. To deepen my training, I got a 500 hour Professional Level Kripalu Yoga Teacher certification in 2012. I volunteered at Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health for close to a year assisting with workshops, including five 200 hour yoga teacher trainings and a variety of wellbeing workshops like Yoga Therapy Intensive and Introduction to Yoga and Meditation. I pull from all of the above in the sessions I offer.

The sessions I offer draw from a range of styles, and traditional yoga asanas are not a main focus. The pace is moderate. The offering is somewhat tailored to the participants and the flavor of the day. Beginners are welcome to attend.

I currently offer yoga on Zoom. Contact me about the Zoom link. Session length: about 90 minutes. Donation based.

"A comfortable and therapeutic experience is always guaranteed when working with Petra"

Manifestation

I graduated from advanced courses in Pranayama breathing exercises, ancient American shamanic energy work practices, and other energy healing techniques, all supplying powerful tools for Manifestation support. Swami Kripalu, the revered Indian sage who Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health is named after, passed down a Manifestation technique to some of deciples, which utilizes breathing exercises and imagery. In such a centered feeling state, Manifestation of what one's future should look like is especially powerful. I learned this technique in a 10 day long training.

Offered once a month. Contact me about the Zoom link. Session length: 60-90 minutes. Donation based

"The effects of the practices have changed my relationship with the world - I now love life!!!"

Transformation

I myself underwent an amazing transformational journey, with nourishing friendships, health, radiance, and happiness coming my way naturally after job loss, severe injury, and bleak outlook at life. To overcome hardship, I acquired tools from courses like How to be a Transformational Teacher (a 10 day long 500 hour Yoga Teacher Training module), amongst others. I send a newsletter every Sunday, striving to inspire.

Namaste.
