# Bristol Healing Yoga & Pilates Studio

Bristol Healing Yoga & Pilates Studio, located in Brislington, is run by Petra Lewis, a fitness professional with over 20 years' experience in the industry. What sets this studio apart is Petra's holistic approach, combining strength-based fitness with healing practices. After experiencing her own health challenges, Petra discovered the transformative power of yoga, pilates and qigong, which now informs her teaching philosophy centred on the body's natural capacity for self-healing.

The studio serves clients of all ages and fitness levels, from complete beginners to those seeking specialist support. This includes pregnant women, new mothers, and anyone looking to build strength, improve mobility, or reduce tension through mindful movement.

The business offers an unusually comprehensive range of classes: traditional pilates and yoga sit alongside personal training, group fitness sessions, outdoor conditioning, and specialised pregnancy and postnatal programmes. This variety allows clients to find the right fit for their needs, whether that's intense strength work or restorative healing practice.

Petra's credentials include 200 hours of yoga teacher training with The Kaivalya Yoga Method Academy and further study in Vinyasa and Yin Yoga. Her unique selling point is the integration of eastern healing practices—particularly qigong and yin yoga—with western fitness methodologies, supported by personalised nutritional guidance through her personal training service.
