Petra Mitidieri, PhD, MEng, has been teaching yoga in London for 25 years, gaining extensive knowledge and experience as both a student and teacher. She offers a variety of yoga styles to suit different needs, including dynamic Ashtanga Vinyasa, restorative yoga, pregnancy yoga and alignment-focused yoga inspired by the Iyengar tradition. As a certified yoga therapist (C-IAYT), Petra specialises in helping individuals with spinal issues such as lower back pain, disc compression, sciatica, kyphosis, stenosis, neck pain and more.
Since 2008, Petra has been extensively using the Great Yoga Wall system in her teaching. This tool provides many benefits, including spinal decompression (helping to widen the spaces between vertebrae for improved posture and flexibility), assistance with challenging poses, and overall support for physical regeneration. Many of her students have experienced significant improvements in their spinal health and overall well-being through this approach, as evidenced by her 4.9-star overall rating on Google reviews.
Whether you're seeking to address specific health concerns, prepare for a smoother pregnancy and labour, improve your flexibility and strength, or simply de-stress and relax, Petra’s bespoke approach ensures that students of all levels can benefit from her expertise and the transformative effects of yoga.
