Supportive Pregnancy Yoga Classes in Kentish Town & Camden

Pregnancy is a time of significant physical and emotional change, and yoga can provide gentle support throughout every stage of the journey. At Petra Yoga Ltd, we offer personalised pregnancy yoga classes in Camden designed to help you move comfortably, breathe deeply and feel more connected to your changing body.

Led by experienced yoga teacher and certified yoga therapist Petra Mitidieri, classes combine mindful movement, breath awareness, relaxation and alignment-focused yoga to support both physical wellbeing and emotional balance during pregnancy.

Gentle Pregnancy Yoga with an Experienced Teacher

Petra Mitidieri has been teaching yoga in London since 2000 and has extensive experience supporting women through pregnancy with safe, supportive and therapeutic yoga practices. Drawing from both Iyengar-inspired alignment work and restorative yoga principles, Petra creates a calm and welcoming environment where students can practise at their own pace.

Unlike large commercial classes, Petra Yoga focuses on small group and private sessions, allowing for more personalised guidance and careful attention to alignment, comfort and individual mobility.

Petra is also a certified yoga therapist (C-IAYT), specialising in musculo-skeletal conditions including lower back pain, sciatica, neck tension and postural imbalances, which can often become more noticeable during pregnancy.
