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.

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.
