Kangatraining
Course Overview
Get ready to get your body moving!
Kangatraining is a mums and bubs class like no other. It’s a workout, designed especially for the postpartum recovery period.
It’s your new mothers' group and babywearing class. The exercise program has been created by women’s health physiotherapists, midwives and babywearing consultants ensuring everything we do is completely post-natal safe. Your baby is worn during the class and is fully involved in the action unless they fall asleep, as most do. Not only will you regain physical strength and flexibility it’s also a great way to boost emotional wellbeing by meeting other local mums in a fun, relaxed environment.
The pelvic floor and abdominal muscles as well as correct posture are given special attention. As a Kangatrainer Carrie is fully trained in babywearing and can advise on the best safety practices, fittings and most comfortable carrying positions for you and your baby.
The name ‘Kangatraining’ comes from ‘Winnie the Poo’ where the Kanga mother dotes on her playful and energetic baby joey Roo!
Every participant is required to complete a pre exercises health questionnaire.
