ABOUT

Hi I'm Alana creative behind Karmaura.

When I embarked on the life changing journey of becoming a Mother I noticed how little I had been taught about pregnancy and birth. From conception struggles, to pregnancy care and not to mention the actual birth! So to the best of my ability at the time I prepared my body through yoga, I did the research and found the most supportive place and team to help birth my baby. I armed myself with tools and knowledge for this incredible next unknown chapter of my life. Two empowered hospital water births and one home birth later, I grew and learned so much. Now I want to help other couples and families towards their own positive and empowered pregnancies and births as well!

I’m a passionate teacher. A certified Yoga teacher and Registered Prenatal Yoga Teacher (RPYT) originally trained in India, a Childbirth Educator, Hypnobirthing Australia Practitioner and Doula in training. I love infusing ancient wisdom with modern science and bringing to life the most powerful lessons. I encourage presence, connection and inner exploration and open mindedness through all of the modalities that I teach.

I am deeply dedicated to advocating for parents and their informed choices, evidence-based care, and the normalisation of natural uninterrupted birth. For me, it is important for individuals to have access to the support they need during this important life event. I strive to encourage community connection and holistic approaches that honour the individual needs of each birthing family.

I'm committed to empowering women to birth with confidence and give them the tools they need to make their own beautiful birth stories. Having experienced the challenges of conception and miscarriage myself it is important for me to be real about the natural and medicalised birthing processes and challenges this journey can present, I'm here to provide a safe and supportive atmosphere.

Together, we can create a future where birthing is celebrated, respected and honoured with dignity, we can help restore the sacred feminine significance of birthing a baby and becoming a Mother and a Father once again. We can help restore trust in the power of woman's bodies and help heal birth in our culture.

I frequently teach workshops online via Zoom, on the Atherton Tablelands & Cairns Far North Queensland. I currently live in my remote community of Weipa, Cape York where I filmed and designed my online Pregnancy Yoga Series.

WHAT OTHERS HAVE SAID

We had our whopping little girl on Saturday evening Ayda Anne 9pd 1oz. I had a 38hr successful VBAC and thought of you and what you had taught us LOTS over this time. I wanted to say thank you as even though I needed some intervention I wouldn’t have achieved what I did do without the breathing and visualizations! It was a wild ride! Can’t wait for to meet our little one soon xoxo

Alana’s prenatal classes were a fantastic way of preparing for pregnancy and birth. I looked forward to every class, knowing that as soon as you walk through the door you relax! I was always greeted with a massive smile, feeling like I’d known Alana for years rather than 5 mins! The classes taught me so much, not only about birthing, but about the changes in my body and how to care for my body with the yoga practice & preparation. I found I was leaving feeling refreshed, with more energy flowing through my body (sounds very zen- I would never have believed it, but it’s true!). You are the shit and bananas. Thanks Alana.

I highly recommend Alana’s classes, learning to trust and listen to my body during pregnancy and labour was a great skill to practice. Knowing more about what I was in for physically during labour really helped me to have positive birth experiences.
