What people say about the classes and workshops:

“Considering how nervous and worried I was, the birth was my biggest achievement of my life. The strength I found, I gathered from yoga, you and people I met there!” Sue

“Thanks so much for all of your help and advice, the classes were a highlight of my week and really helped with my preparation for the birth, feeding and parenthood.” Jo

“I wanted to say a huge huge thank you as the yoga had a huge role in the birth. The breathing techniques were integral – not only did they provide great pain relief, but kept me and the baby so calm all the way though.” Emma

“I have to say a massive thank you to you for everything that we covered in the classes. I felt so well prepared that I was able to stay calm and focused, which really helped to keep the birth happy and peaceful.” Lorna

"I have SO enjoyed both your sessions. You are a lovely person and it shows in all that you do. I only wish I would have more time to spend with you. It's been so necessary to talk through fears and worries as well as have a place to share all the joyous moments of pregnancy and living with Baby. I want to wish you, your partner and son a really fantastic life together. You've been a little sparkle in mine." Claire

"The thing that helped me most (especially notable with my second baby) was breathing and my experience of yoga helped enormously. I focused on the breath for four hours and it got me through each contraction. The other way the yoga helped was with trying different positions. Moving my pelvis in the way you suggested really helped. The whole thing about yoga also is that it gives you awareness of your body and helps you to listen to it and work with it, which I did in a very uninhibited way!" Consultant, St Michael's Hospital

"I enjoyed talking, breathing, everything! Thank you Jess, I feel more and more relaxed each session I come to!" Katy

"Thank you very much Jess, for six lovely weeks and for all of the wisdom you have shared with us." Sara

"We came away feeling very positive after your session; more so than from other preparation courses we have attended. You instilled in us lots of self-belief as a team and dispelled lots of worries we had about the process. We feel much more equipped and have already been putting into practice ideas from the handouts! Many thanks - it was just what we needed!" Jo and Mark

Present practice: Scaravelli yoga for pregnant and postnatal women

With a burgeoning number of devotees in the UK, Scaravelli-influenced yoga has often been described as free-style yoga for its highly personal, intuitive method of practice that encourages students to find their own way into their bodies. And, for this reason, says Relaxed Birth and Parenting teacher Jessica Eveleigh, it is perfect for pregnant and postnatal women who want to get in touch with what it means to be in their bodies now.…

Help yourself – free money and time off work for pregnant women. Do you know what you’re entitled to?

Working nine to five – and many of us much longer hours in this time poor culture – can be tiring for most of us. But, when you’re going through all the emotional and physical changes of pregnancy, it can be exhausting.



However, there’s no need for you to feel the grind. It’s just a matter of knowing what you’re entitled to. Yet, it’s surprising how many of pregnant women don’t know that they can claim free money and time off work that will help them get the most out of their… Continue
