| Pregnancy
Yoga classes provide an opportunity for expectant
women to develop greater vitality and awareness of their
body that is home for two, as well as to deepen their
relationship with their baby. Gentle postures, breath
work, sound and chant work and meditation are learned
to cultivate flexibility, calm and confidence in preparation
for labour and childbirth. Women are empowered to enhance
their ability to access greater relaxation, comfort, and
enjoyment. Calm and flexibility ease the birthing process,
thus reducing pain and increasing the joy during this
special time. With Pregnancy Yoga, women prepare for as
active, normal and natural a birth as possible. |

|
Birthing Preparation for Couples
provides an opportunity for couples to enhance awareness
of and confidence in pregnancy, labour and birth.
Through discussion, gentle postures, breath work,
soundwork, meditation and massage, couples cultivate
greater relaxation, understanding and enjoyment for
childbearing.
|
|
Couples practice postures together
that are both beneficial and enjoyable during pregnancy
and during labour. Partners feel more connected to the
unborn baby. The presence and encouragement of a woman's
partner is a powerful aid to labour and delivery. Partners
develop greater understanding to support the birthing
mom with confidence and sensitivity. |
Post-Natal &
Baby Yoga
Once the mother has given birth she returns to this
special yoga to help her body return to normal as quickly
and effortlessly as possible. These classes can be attended
with 'baby' and are made to be fun and uplifting.
|

This part of the course will include training
in:
· Yoga postures, pranayama, sound work, relaxation,
meditation, and visualisations specific for recuperating
after delivery
· Postures that are comfortable for breastfeeding,
changing baby, reducing backache, strengthening arms
and upper body, and toning the abdominals

The Teacher
Anne Combrinck has been teaching yoga
and meditation since 1987. She is also a qualified Yoga
Therapy Teacher and trains Yoga Teachers
(Level I -200 hours and Level II - 500 hours).
Many Journals and magazines have asked her to write
yoga and related articles for them, which she does on
a regular basis. She is a registered Yoga Therapy Teacher.
After experiencing the joy of yoga during her own
pregnancy more than 14 years ago, she has been specialising
in helping and teaching others how to enjoy their
pregnancies, their bodies and their babies with yoga.
Preparing ladies for natural birth and sometimes
accompanying them during birthing is a very rewarding
experience for her. Anne helps the partners to feel
comfortable - they enjoy their few classes with the
expectant mom and often start their own adventure
in yoga from then on. She includes nutrition and Ayurvedic
lifestyle advice in the classes as well.
