Your sanctuary to root, rest, and raise
At Root, Rest and Raise, our classes are designed to feel like a deep exhale — a place where you don’t have to perform, rush, or be anything other than yourself. Whether you’re stepping onto the mat for adult yoga, easing into postnatal movement, bonding with your baby through yoga or massage, or melting into the gentle vibrations of sound healing, every offering is rooted in nervous-system support, connection, and compassion. These sessions are about more than flexibility or technique; they’re about feeling safe, supported, and seen. We hope you leave feeling grounded yet lighter, connected rather than alone, and gently reminded that caring for yourself is not a luxury — it’s how you thrive.
Our philosophy: deep exhales and true connection
This is your village, holding space for you and your little one to rest, grow, and rise together. We believe in creating a supportive community where self-care is celebrated, allowing you to flourish authentically. Our aim is to provide a haven where you feel safe, supported, and seen, fostering genuine connection and compassion through every class.
Meet ilisha jones, our founder
Hi, I'm ilisha jones, the heart behind Root, Rest and Raise—a wellness space born from a deep love for children, women's wellbeing, and intentional living. My journey began with a First-Class Honours Degree in Early Childhood Studies, but it was motherhood and the transformative power of daily wellness rituals that truly shaped my path. Practicing yoga, meditation, journaling, and mindful walks gave me space to breathe and permission to slow down, inspiring me to share this gift. Becoming a mother deepened my understanding, leading me to train in baby yoga, baby massage, and sensory development—blending my passion for children with mindful bonding practices for parent and child.
A holistic space for every stage
This business is a blend of everything I love and believe in: nurturing connection, encouraging stillness, and supporting both adults and children in growing into their fullest, happiest selves. Whether you're seeking yoga to reconnect with yourself, a busy parent needing a pause, or a mother looking to raise your child in a conscious, connected way – Root, Rest and Raise is here for you. We offer more than just yoga, with one-off classes, workshops, mum and baby yoga, yin, vinyasa, chair yoga, sound healing, and baby massage. There’s truly something for everyone in Neath Port Talbot.
"Finding Root, Rest and Raise was a revelation. I finally found a space where I felt completely at ease, supported, and seen. The classes are truly transformative and have helped me care for myself and my little one."
