About My Class & Me

Hey,

I’m Petra. My journey with yoga began as a teenager after school one day at a Gold’s Gym in East Greenwich, Rhode Island - a hot power class. All I can recall is that it was challenging and I loved it. Although my commitment to yoga fluctuated over the years, I always returned to my mat during life's challenges. If you find yourself here, perhaps that resonates with you?

I studied at Brandeis University and earned a BA in Global Studies with a focus in Global Health. After school, I moved out west to San Francisco where my practice solidified. I tried the corporate tech life, but it wasn’t for me. Again when life got turbulent, I turned to yoga. I found YogaFlow SF and met my mentor, Erin Gilmore. I fell in love with challenging sequences and the exploration of self through yoga. This practice has given me confidence. So much so that I decided to teach full-time and share the benefits of this practice. I completed my yoga teacher training in 2021 under Dr. Liz Lindh at Lakshmi Rising in Costa Rica and have been working as a registered yoga instructor at The Body Electric Yoga Company in St Petersburg, Florida ever since. 

My yoga class is more than just a workout—it's an invitation to explore your relationship with yourself and the world through movement. You will be guided through non-traditional creative sequences set to a unique playlist for each class. Whether you're a beginner or an advanced practitioner, my classes are tailored to fit your needs. Some elements will be accessible early on, while others will require work and practice—so keep coming back. I encourage you to listen to your body, be honest with yourself, and make choices that are best for YOU, both on and off your mat. In my class, you'll tap into your creative spirit, flow, dance, handstand, rest—whatever you want, all to the rhythm of your breath.

Can’t wait to work together!

Much Love, P
