Mahina Mahai Pregnancy Yoga, Childbirth Preparation & Beyond

Petra's classes are an invaluable tool for anyone wanting to prepare their body and mind for birth. I attended Petra's classes in person when I was pregnant with my first child and had a very positive birthing experience, even though I was induced. I am now pregnant with my second baby and am attending her course online. Petra really understands a pregnant women's body and guides her online classes to ensure we are comfortable and correct in our positions. I have learned so much from Petra and would highly recommend her classes to anyone I know.

This 12 week course was the single best thing I did during my pregnancy. I was initially disappointed that we had to move to Zoom but it worked really well and Petra was attentive to us all and our particular needs. I really appreciated the focus on correct alignment/posture and breathing and visualisation exercises for labour. It's so good to practise these things regularly so they become second nature. I credit Petra's classes with my ability to stay calm during my labour, try out different positions to cope, and keep things moving along quickly. I surprised myself by not needing any pain relief except a TENS machine and gas. I'll definitely be back for any future pregnancies. Highly recommended!

The Pregnancy Yoga and Childbirth Preparation course with Petra has been invaluable, it has given me the confidence and tools to be prepared for birth in a calm and mindful way. It has also provided a space very week just for me to connect with my baby. I have just finished the 12 week course but plan to join other yoga classes and keep going up until birth.Arohanui Petra!

Petra's class is a fantastic part of preparing for labour and I would recommend it to anyone who is pregnant. I am sure that the exercises (both physical and mental, through the breathing work) contributed to make the birth of my son the positive experience that it was. As we were in a covid lockdown the classes were on zoom and I found this format was better than I expected - it was actually really convenient and relaxing to do it at home. I also had a one on one session with Petra in which she helped me get familiar with some daily exercises to target specific issues I had. Can't recommend enough!

Petra is just great! I would definitely recommend her pregnancy yoga classes, I always felt relaxed and refreshed after every class. Her 12 week course on labour management provides useful insights (Breathing techniques, birthing positions) especially for first time mothers like myself. Petra offers a great pregnancy massage session, all the soreness and aches disappeared after the massage session. I would 100% recommend her classes. Thank you so much Petra you have been fabulous.

I would highly recommend this pregnancy yoga course. It was so much more than just yoga. Petra taught us breathing, movement and visualisation techniques that I was able to use during my labour to help me have a beautiful, drug-free birth. The class was small and so even though it was online, it felt very personal. It was so nice to take time each week to connect with my body and my baby through this class.

These yoga classes gave me confidence to birth my baby. Petra is an amazing instructor with her wealth of knowledgeable on positions I feel I can practice daily before my due date.

Highly recommend! I really enjoyed Petra's classes. Petra is so knowledgable and lovely, the classes are warm and welcoming. I did the pregnancy yoga course and felt much better prepared for my second birth. Once bubs was born we joined the post natal yoga classes, which were great for recovery and a lovely way to spend time with bubs. Thank you Petra!

Petra's pregnancy yoga was so beneficial and helped me prepare for a positive natural birthing experience. She provides useful tips to guide you through labour in a calm mindset. During my labour I kept reminding myself of Petra's breathing and pushing techniques and her calm voice. I recommend these classes to any pregnant women. Looking forward to doing her crawler class.

Petra's pregnancy yoga class was a perfect way to prepare myself mentally and physically for labour and beyond, I looked forward to the classes every week and my body always felt better after the class. Petra explained everything really well and I learnt so much during the 10 week course. I would highly recommend this course, and if I am lucky enough to have another baby this will be the first thing I will sign up too.Thank you Petra for sharing your knowledge.I am now loving the postnatal yoga classes with my little boy Lucas who loves them too, we both look forward to the classes each week.Thank you xxx we are hoping to sign up to the massage course too!!!!
