Petra’s approach to movement has been shaped by a lifelong study of the body in motion—from classical ballet and Pilates to the Feldenkrais Method®. Her work is grounded in the understanding that movement is not simply a matter of strength or flexibility, but an expression of how the whole person organizes, senses, adapts, and responds.

Petra began her movement education at the age of six, studying classical ballet through the Vaganova tradition before graduating from the Hungarian Dance University. Her professional dance career brought her to the Oklahoma City Ballet Company, where she was introduced to Pilates. This marked an important shift in her understanding of movement and began a deeper exploration of the relationship between physical organization, coordination, attention, and the individual experience of the body.

Over the years, Petra has continued to study movement from multiple perspectives, with training in Pilates, BIM Yoga, Progressing Ballet Technique, gymnastics, gait mechanics, the Silva Method, and the Feldenkrais Method®. These diverse disciplines have informed a practice that combines anatomical awareness and physical precision with a sensitivity to the individual ways in which each person moves and learns.

Today, Petra works with athletes, artists, and people from a wide range of backgrounds. Her intention is not to impose an ideal way of moving, but to help each person develop a clearer sense of their own organization and possibilities. Through attentive, exploratory movement, she creates space to notice habitual patterns, refine coordination, and discover alternatives that may feel more comfortable, efficient, and sustainable.

The Feldenkrais Method® has become an important part of Petra’s work because of its emphasis on awareness, curiosity, and learning. Rather than asking the body to work harder or conform to a predetermined shape, the practice invites a person to slow down, sense more precisely, and explore movement without force. From this perspective, change emerges not through correction, but through increased awareness and the discovery of new options.

Petra believes that the way we move is inseparable from the way we experience ourselves. When we develop greater awareness of our movement, we can begin to relate to our bodies with more choice, adaptability, and ease. Her work through Feldenkrais and Pilates is an invitation to explore that relationship—to move with greater clarity, freedom, and curiosity, both within and beyond the studio.
