“I was fortunate enough to meet Bernadette when I was expecting my daughter. Her knowledge, teaching methods and kindness helped me immensely during a pregnancy which could have been very stressful as I have already had three miscarriages. Her lessons are well structured yet very relaxed. They are a wonderful time ro learn about one’s strengths and how to make use of them”.

Pregnancy Yoga
1-1 sessions in person or online
Pregnancy yoga is an ideal way of supporting physical, mental and emotional health and well- being for both mum & baby. A woman’s body goes through huge, rapid changes in a short space of time, whilst she is growing a new human being which can impact on everything from joints and muscles, to organs and hormones.
All practices are dedicated pregnancy yoga techniques, suitable for various stages and take into account challenges such as PGP (pelvic girdle pain), sciatica, heartburn, carpal tunnel and many more, either as ways to minimise or avoid these conditions or as a way of improving and managing them.
A range of techniques is also included to enable a woman to face labour with less fear and more confidence in how to manage this singular event in life. The sessions will also give the opportunity to take some time for the two (or maybe 3) of you.
Being able to both relax and breathe is not only one of the most valuable aspects of self care you can provide for yourself but also has a real benefit in improving the function of the placenta. Each session ends with Yoga Nidra.
Contact Bernadette info@peacefulpractice.co.uk or 07816 443319 to discuss or book for 1-1 sessions either online or in person.
Mum & Baby Yoga-1-1 classes
Classes in your own home - Greenwich & Lewisham boroughs
“Would you like to enjoy a class which helps to revive your energy levels – gently toning muscles and easing joints, yet at the same time being relaxed, informal and fun for your baby as well?”
These are dedicated practices, designed specifically for women’s bodies.
Namely women who have grown a baby for the best part of a year and have given birth (however that was) and are now wanting to address how they can recover & regain deep muscle tone & maintain pelvic floor health.
Gentle, effective movements to ease stiffness in necks, shoulders & backs are added.
Action rhymes with your baby are included, that stimulate their body systems in fun & playful ways, to promote restful sleep, aid digestion, respiration & circulation and stimulate the nervous & immune systems.
Some baby massage movements are also incorporated.

Baby Massage
Home Visit Tuition
Baby massage home visits are short, two session courses for adult carers with babies up to the pre-crawling stage.
Although baby massage can continue well into early childhood, once the techniques have been learnt, it is easier to learn the ropes whilst your baby is not yet at crawling stage.
This is a unique way of communicating with your baby using the sense of touch-to which babies are extremely receptive. It is especially suitable for prems, C section & low birth weight babies & offers the mutual benefits of relaxation and enjoyment to both baby & carer. A simple yet effective short, full body baby massage routine is taught. This includes specific techniques to help ease digestive issues and encourage restful sleep.
Adults find it is another way of getting to know their baby & become more relaxed and confident in their handling of & ability to nurture their child. For the baby all major body systems are stimulated, including circulatory, respiratory, nervous and digestive.
A massage manual & oil are provided and yours to keep. Guidance on teething and colic are also given. Each session lasts for 1hr.
Bernadette is also happy to offer these short, two session courses for a group of friends with new babies, within the boroughs of Greenwich & Lewisham, within a home environment.

Pregnancy Massage
Benefits of pregnancy massage
Pregnancy massage treatment is very popular. Pregnancy can be a time in a woman’s life when various “ailments” arise-such as poor sleep patterns, cramp, blood pressure changes, heartburn, sciatica, anxiety & fear, to name a few! Some women are fortunate enough not to experience much in the way of ailments and instead relish the opportunity to let go & enjoy some “me” time.
Pregnancy massage incorporates all the techniques used for a regular full body massage and lots of supports are used during the treatment to ensure that the client is at her most comfortable.
Each consultation also gives the client an opportunity to express herself in a supportive environment and because of Bernadette’s wide and lengthy experience as a pregnancy yoga teacher she can offer techniques to help alleviate most conditions or to advise about diet, lifestyle, etc
