Start practicing yoga today

Have you been missing out on important bonding time with your body and your baby, not being able to sleep or getting enough rest, feeling disconnected and stressed about the birth?

Birth can be a time of exhilaration and anticipation, or it can be a time of worry, anxiety or fear. Not getting enough sleep, juggling different responsibilities, feeling like you don’t have enough time to do it all. It can be overwhelming.

This is why it is so important to prioritize your wellbeing, honoring your body and growing belly during this time. You can experience a peaceful and comfortable pregnancy. Grow a beautiful bond with your baby. Set yourself up for success mentally and physically. Wouldn’t that be a dream?

I struggled to conceive and even had two miscarriages. When I finally got, pregnant I wanted to nurture and nourish my experience with a safe practice that truly helped me, my body. and baby. I realised how powerful a mindful yoga practice was after my first beautiful birth. I have now had three empowering natural births and smooth postpartum transitions and I am convinced my strong prenatal yoga practice and hypnobirthing preparation were the foundation for it. So I want to help others have the same wholesome experience.

With my prenatal yoga classes you will learn to listen to your body and your baby. You will feel more comfortable and even get that quality sleep you’ve been craving. You will learn to honor where your body is at and be ok with that. It’s all about allowing what is to be and to be gentle with yourself. You will have no pressure to show up to a class schedule, no pressure to wear fancy yoga clothing, and no pressure to have to look a certain way in the poses. You have the freedom to practice whenever and wherever you want in whatever you want.

Pregnancy is a time to be gentle, to listen and trust the amazing process which is happening within you.

Every time you come to the mat and practice yoga will be a beautiful time of bonding with your baby in preparation for your beautiful birth.

About me

Karmaura Hypnobirthing Cairns Calm Birth North Queensland Pregnancy Courses 6 1

I have practiced yoga for over a decade nowю It has been a passion of mine for the past years working with women and helping them during their pregnancies. When I experienced the impact my own prenatal yoga practice has had during my three pregnancies and hearing the positive stories from women I have taught, I knew it was time during my third pregnancy to film my practice to help other women to.

As a fully qualified Registered Prenatal Yoga Teacher (RPYT) I know first hand the profound effects this practice can have off the mat as well. Prenatal Yoga not only prepared my body for birth, it helped me handle the roller coaster of hormonal changes in my body much more calmly. It gave me tools to process the good and not so good days with more ease, it helped my babies position for birth, it helped my sciatica and other pregnancy aches and pains. It helped me sleep better and helped my body return to its pre-birth state much more quickly.

This series isn’t biased to natural birth although it is extremely beneficial for this outcome, you can benefit from a Prenatal Yoga practice if you have a planned caesarean section as the body still puts immense pressure on key areas that yoga can help tone and balance, it can also particularly help with postnatal recovery.

I am passionate about keeping yoga down to earth, easy to follow and achievable for all levels and love that I can deliver this series to more women in this way and can’t wait to share my practice with you x

I’ve been doing each one at least twice consecutively

Woohoo I’m loving Yoga. I’ve been doing each one at least twice consecutively so I can remember which one each is and redo my faves! I really like the neck and shoulder ones because my neck is usually pretty sore but I don’t think I can choose because I have enjoyed each one I’ve done. It’s definitely varied and not repetitive. I’m loving all of it and wishing you had an online one for after I’m pregnant!
~ Alice G

Classes taught me so much about changes in my body

The classes taught me so much not only about birth but about changes in my body and how to care for my body with the yoga practice and preparation. I always felt refreshed after practice with more energy flowing through my body- (I know it sounds very zen, but it’s true lol)

Frequently Asked Questions

Why shouldn’t I practice yoga in the first trimester?

There is so much development happening in the first trimester including the growth of the placenta which will sustain the life of your baby in the second and third trimesters. It is wise to just rest, there is plenty of time to practice in the second and third trimesters.

Can I do this series if I plan to have a C section?

Depending on the health reasons of why you are to have a c section. If your care provider says it is safe for you to practice prenatal yoga than YES. This series can definitely help with a calmer outlook with body, mind and breath awareness and tools to relax for a c section. There is also a lot of pressure applied in third trimester to the pelvic floor making a prenatal yoga practice very beneficial particularly for post- partum period.

I have never practiced yoga before can I still do your series?

This is quite common. A lot of women when pregnant come to the yoga mat for the first time. Pregnancy yoga is a more mindful way to move your body and a fantastic way to build breath awareness and to bond with your baby.

Can I still do this if I'm not flexible enough?

An excellent reason to start practicing yoga! 😉 This series is specifically designed for pregnancy with alternatives offered throughout. Only going to your own edge and being careful to not push your limits is key. A beautiful benefit of having a home practice- NO ONE IS WATCHING! Well maybe your pets..

Can I practice your yoga outside of pregnancy, because I loved it so much when I was pregnant?

Pregnancy yoga is designed to prepare and gently open the pelvis and hips for birth. When we have had our babies a postnatal yoga practice should be closing and bringing the hips and pelvis back together in stability. Practicing yoga is not recommended within the first three months post birth this is circumstantial and can be longer for some. However if you just love yoga and are well outside of pregnancy and wanting to practice, yes you can still utilise this series.

Repost @2lifedoula ✨A Nuchal Cord where the the Repost @2lifedoula ✨A Nuchal Cord where the the baby’s cord is wrapped around it’s head is very common and happens in around 20-30% of births. Remember your baby isn’t lung breathing yet so the baby is still breathing through this oxygenated cord. If baby’s head is presenting with the cord around it the mama can even do this herself or even ask the care provider to slowly untangle the cord so that the baby can be able to come up to the mama’s chest.

Let's talk Nuchal Cords...
•
It can feel alarming🚨when the umbilical cord is wrapped around baby's neck, but in the majority of cases it's a pretty harmless occurrence.
•
Babies 🚼 receive all the oxygen🫁 they need in utero from the umbilical cord which is protected by something called Wharton's Jelly. The jelly surrounds the vessel and arteries within the cord preventing compression and allowing for continuous blood🩸 flow.
•
If the cord is wrapped tightly or more than once, a skilled provider👩🏾‍⚕️ can help to further prevent compression by guiding baby's head👶🏼 as the rest of baby's body emerges during childbirth.

We need to stop viewing postpartum support as a luxury and start seeing it as a necessity. Our investment in the fourth trimester is an acknowledgement of the preciousness of life — not just the baby’s life, but also the mother’s life . . . When a woman feels supported, the baby thrives, the relationship thrives, our community thrives, and our planet thrives. So find your village or create your village and thrive.” ❤️⁠

During pregnancy, a woman's brain shrinks by 5%. A During pregnancy, a woman's brain shrinks by 5%.
At the same time, other parts of her brain are 'wired' which prime her to be alert and connect with the baby.
Pregnancy is extremely energy-dependent and can take nutrients from other parts of the mother's body. A growing baby then takes all that it requires from the mother.

You can often see the signs of depletion in the teeth of the mother..

…Being tired and overwhelmed is considered part and parcel of becoming a mother. Yet it seems, in today's busy society, tiredness and that sense of being overwhelmed have been normalized to the point where women are no longer cared for in the way they need to be after the birth and well beyond.'

Playlists can be a huge oxytocin driver for lots of people during labour and birth. 
Whether birthing vaginally or abdominally, the sound of a familiar song can transform the vibe of a room and help to settle any adrenaline or nerves.

Any genre goes- the key is it makes you feel good!

What would your ultimate feel good oxytocin-fuelling song be?? 🎶

It’s hard to believe that one practice can bring It’s hard to believe that one practice can bring so many benefits. But the raw truth is it can! 

The realms that yoga explores are not just the physical. 

Through accepting our bodies during the physical asanas we are offered an opportunity to unlock our emotions, reset our nervous system and drop into the soulful truth of what is present. We connect to the power of our breath to sink deeper, to allow what is to be and to let go. 

This awareness especially when pregnant can make our experience a more fulfilling one. 

Prenatal yoga also allows the time and space for the mental, emotional and spiritual significance of pregnancy and birth to be and prepares us to walk through the gates of birth and motherhood again and again. 

There are many reasons to practice pregnancy yoga these are just a few.

* Relaxation
* Optimise babies position
* Bringing balance into body
* Pelvic floor awareness and health
* Relieve common aches associated with growing a baby
* Improved sleep
* Improves self belief
* Connection with self and baby
* Release anxiety
* Body Consciousness
* Breath awareness 
* Helps postpartum recovery 

Seated deep in our knowing, trusting our bodies wisdom and confident in ourselves are all fantastic ways to approach the journey of Birth and Motherhood. 

Join me during your second and third trimesters from the comfort of your own space✨ See the link in my bio to invest in yourself now. 🌺 Alana
