"Petra and PD Active have done a splendid job making the transition to zoom classes. In the midst of sheltering in place, the classes themselves - along with online interaction with Petra and fellow students - brighten our days.
I should add that I was beginning to reach the point of having difficulty actually making it to classes - a problem we will all eventually face. Now every week I am taking three exercise classes with Petra. Remarkably, after four weeks of this more intensive work, I actually reversed a key Parkinson's symptom. I had reached a point where I had to use a walker to get around our house. But now I have largely stopped using the walker at home. It's wonderful! I certainly hope that the zoom classes continue in the longer run."

I’ve been taking Petra’s class on zoom for about a year now. She is a wonderful teacher, very encouraging and knowledgeable about PD and exercise. Her classes include movement activities that work to improve common PD issues such as balance, stiffness, physical and cognitive coordination, and general fitness. I highly recommend her class.

"I am a long time cancer survivor with several chronic mobility and pain issues. I've tried other yoga classes only to get discouraged or injured. Yoga for Healthy Aging with Petra is a godsend. She is an incredibly kind, patient and an experienced teacher."

"Thank you so much for another wonderful year as my yoga instructor! Your dedication and appreciation of your practice doesn't go unnoticed by me and others. Your natural ability to teach, inspire and improve the lives of your students is a true blessing - thank you so much!"

"I have always exercised: I was a runner and I hike and take aerobics. I avoided yoga for years because I didn't think I needed it nor did I think I would enjoy it. That changed when my friends took me to Petra's beginner yoga class. Much to my surprise it turns out I really like yoga! I love the sense of calmness it generates. It has helped me with flexibility and made me realize how much stronger one side of my body is in comparison to the other. Petra is a wonderful teacher and adapts her classes to meet the needs of her students. Thank you, Petra, for amazing classes!

"I'm now taking a third class offered by Petra and have registered for two more. I'm 62 and feared her class would be too hard for me but it's just the right amount of challenge! Petra accommodates all levels of ability. My balance has greatly improved. I look forward to the days we have class. I highly recommend her."
