25.01.2022 There are so many reasons you might not come to Kangatraining. But so many more reasons why you should! ‘’Nope. I’ll be ‘that’ mum with ‘that’ baby who cries the whole time.’’ ‘’Oh he’ll sleep in the carrier? Pfft hahahahaha. Not my baby.’... You know how many of our instructors started out with Kanga because they tried other classes and they were always the one bopping around with a grizzly baby while the other babies slept soundly on the sidelines? Lots of us But babies are included in Kanga. They’ve been factored in to the program every step of the way. From the dancing warm up, to the giggles in floor work, to the snuggles in carriers. Okay first class they can be a little ‘WTA is going on here?’, but by class two they’ve made friends, they’re grooving along and they’re taking naps like no man’s business and you get to just sniff their sleepy little heads and enjoy some time for you! And what if baby does lose their little mind? You have never found yourself in better company. Sometimes a crying baby in a Kanga class doesn’t feel as loud or hard as it does when you’re at home You’ll be so glad you came. Kangatraining Australia

25.01.2022 Oh the ironies of motherhood... am I right? Where I want to do it all And want to do absolutely nothing at all... Where you’re never alone, not even to go to the toilet And yet, you’ve never felt more lonely. Where id love to get some help with the mental load and physical load, But.... not like that, so let me do it. The same creations that came from fornication, are the same reason why you will never fornicate again. As soon as your child likes something and you buy more of it, and that’s when they decide the effen hate it... and that’s why you’re drowning in bananas. As soon as you change the sheets, someone wets the bed.... and the kids do too. Where you yell for someone to listen to you, but can tune them out so easily. Or you ask them to do something, NOW, but when your kid asks for juice you yell ONE MINUTE! I’M BUSY. Where you don’t ever eat a meal, and yet you weigh more than ever because you are basically a garbage disposal. Where you work all day and night, and are asked so how come you aren’t working? You always have so much to do, so many tasks, but find yourself bored. And even though doing it all every day sounds like insanity, you wouldn’t change a thing. Could you add to this list?

25.01.2022 Living the dream

25.01.2022 Happy Easter!!!! hope your all enjoying ALL the bunnies!!

24.01.2022 PELVIC TUCK: Everyone needs to try this! Doing a pelvic tuck/scoop at the end of your carrier set up makes a MASSIVE difference to optimally positioning your... baby's spine and hips! Some of you may already be doing this naturally cause it just feels so much more comfortable, but if not, here's how to do it Reach in to your carrier/wrap/sling and hold your baby's thighs in your hands, then gently do a nice big scoop towards you as you feel your baby's bottom shuffle deeper into the carrier and their knees raise. You'll then be supporting your baby's anatomy better with a curved spine and their hips in the hip healthy M position with knees higher than bum. Overall it will feel more natural and comfortable as your baby moulds better in the carrier and against your body Give it a go! It works better than my demo here on the dolls And do the opposite direction scoop when carrying your baby facing out! It makes it feel a lot more comfortable. I'm using Beco Gemini for facing baby in and Ergo Omni 360 for facing out Beco NZ & Australia Ergobaby Australia & New Zealand

20.01.2022 Normal. Normal. Normal.

20.01.2022 HOW ARE YOU? To the parents currently sitting in their car, We’re thinking of you wherever you are.... You’ve just farewelled your little one for the day. And you’re sitting here wondering if they’re going to be okay. Did they say goodbye and run off with ease? Or were they clinging to you and begging you not to leave? No matter how it went, whether you had to leave in a hurry They’re in such caring hands and there’s no need to worry. You’ve prepared them for this moment, they’re going to thrive! In their own way, in their own time, this is their next stage of life. They’ll play and make friends and try all things new, They’ll be cared for by their teacher and yes they’ll think of you... But when they do they know they’re loved and you’ll be back soon, So go enjoy your day and look forward to that smile when you return.

19.01.2022 W I T C H C R A F T Women get more beautiful as they grow older. Not less. Female youth is only prized in modern culture because it doesn’t represent as much o...f a threat spiritually to anyone who is frightened of divine feminine power. As women grow and mature, they call in stronger forces of sacred feminine wisdom. They vibrate with the creative power of their stories. They are more of a force to be reckoned with. They see more, know more, feel more. They put up with a lot less bullshit. When women are trained into thinking there is something fundamentally wrong with getting older, and are coerced into spending money, energy and power investing in ‘slowing the signs of ageing’, an enormous vault of divine love is lost. Just think what would happen if all the women in the world started loving themselves even more with every year that passed. Perhaps a total revolution would occur. Sophie Bashford

17.01.2022 This needs to be talked about a lot more

16.01.2022 I usually avoid the language of ‘stop’, ‘should’, ‘must’ etc, but after this topic coming up with me today from multiple different mothers, I feel it’s warrante...d. Mothers do not HAVE to have time away from their babies in order to be replenished and supported. Babies do not have to be away from their mothers in order to build connection with others. Continuing to exert pressure over a mother of a baby to leave them when they don’t want to, causes stress. It is a hinderance, not a help. Mothers and babies are in an interdependent relationship. Yes babies ‘need’ their mothers, but mothers also ‘need’ their babies. This is normal and healthy. Independence comes from secure attachment. You don’t force it. Often, what is best for bub is whatever is best for Mum. So if a mother is yearning for some space and separation, then by all means! Offer, but also be sensitive to her hesitation, and respect her decision if it’s a ‘no’. Alternative ways to help include: Taking on the domestic load and meal preparation Engagement and entertainment of siblings Offering company and a cup of tea, and listening Coming along to an appointment to help with the baby and the juggle with all the ‘things’ Support the partner (if one is present) so THEY are able to be better resourced in caring for Mum and bub Coming over to hold the baby so Mum can shower/rest Letting Mum know she is doing a wonderful job, and asking what is 1 thing you can do to help support her What else would you add?

16.01.2022 These are Amazing!

15.01.2022 Merry Christmas @jowisler @babble

15.01.2022 Cereal and blueberries for the win! In the hospital we encourage moms to breastfeed every 2-3 hours to nourish the baby and bring in a good future milk supply.... It’s math: 8-12 feeds in 24 hours (ideal) = nursing every 2-3 hours It’s a quick and easy way to get the message across that this baby needs to eat, and often. Unfortunately, new parents seem think breastfeeding is going to be like the first picture (cereal)...all the feeds perfectly spaced out and all the same size. Every 2-3 hours. Easy. And the baby will sleep like an angel in between.... THIS IS NOT REALITY. In reality, your sweet newborn baby will have good feeds, short feeds, sleepy feeds, crappy feeds, and everything in between! The visual of the blueberries is amazing because it shows how realistically feedings are at all different times and different lengths (bigger blueberries ). And did you count the berries?!? More than enough! Yes, we want you to nurse every 2-3 hours, but the baby calls the shots. Less watching the clock and more watching for feeding cues

14.01.2022 Don’t forget to check in on the new mamas in your life. And keep trying if you don’t hear back straight away. There’s comfort in knowing you’re on someone’s mind, even if you’re not able to text back Art by Joolsannie Art

12.01.2022 This is so beautiful from @jessurlichs_writer: Just you wait and see. You’ll hear those words a bit mama, you probably already have.... You’ll be reminded that if you think you’re tired now, Just you wait and see. If you think you’re sore now, Just you wait and see. If you think you’re busy now, Just you wait and see. There’s so much you’ll be told but there’s so much they don’t say too. They’ll tell you the birth is painful, but did they tell you about your strength? The strength you always had that could bring a life into this world and shortly after leave you breathless? They’ll tell you it’s the most rewarding job in the world, but did they tell you they felt lonely? That some days a rain cloud followed them around & they mourned for more than dishes, washing & burp cloths. You’ll wonder how this can be so hard when loving them comes so easy? They’ll tell you that you’ll lose yourself in motherhood, but did they tell you to stop looking for her? It’s still you, just a new version, reborn as a mother. She is coming to find you, so stand still for a moment. They’ll tell you of how fast they grow & it’s true. One minute you’re their whole world, the next they’re venturing down the hallway, room by room theirs becomes bigger. It’s sad when they leave versions of themselves behind, but be proud mama, they’re going places! They’ll tell you they hope you have a good baby that sleeps through the night. But did they tell you to surrender? I know the pain of sleepless nights, but they need you right now, you’re their home, they’re all good babies. They’ll tell you about that first smile, about that precious moment. But did they tell you it happens when you need it the most? The fourth trimester can be tough, but almost as if planned that smile will save you. They’ll tell you it’s a strain on your relationship & it can be. But did they tell you that it won’t always be this way? One day you’ll have back your nights, the clean house & the silent rooms. And your heart will be in pieces. It’s a beautiful bumpy road where the best isn’t just yet to come. The best is yesterday, today & tomorrow. That’s motherhood. And it’s magic. Just you wait and see.

11.01.2022 The Wild Toddler-saurus-rex. None to be full of sass and chicken crimpys. Insists on doing everything it’s self despite its tiny arms and razor sharp nails. Strongly believes that tomato sauce is a food group. This fierce creature is only happily contained in the arms of its mother or father and will admit a high pitched shrieking sound if ever asked to walk. - pictured here snuggled in the beautiful Kangatraining/ Ankalia, Tanya Kalantary design, toddler carrier; we see a... happy hands free mother getting things done and her content and cheeky off spring. #kangatrainingau #babywearing #mumlife #ankaliatextiles #happymum #happybaby #toddlerlife #snuggles

10.01.2022 #repost COPE Today is R U OK?Day and if your response is "What do you think - of course I'm not OK!" then you're not alone. 2020 has been a challenging, painf...ul year full of grief, stress, isolation and uncertainty - particularly for families in Victoria. We are giving birth with only one support person by our side. We are grieving the maternity leave we'd been dreaming of. We are FaceTiming grandparents instead of watching them hold and kiss and delight in our babies. We are learning how to be mothers and fathers, without our village. We are juggling newborns and homeschooling older siblings. We are logging on to antenatal classes online and wondering if we'll know what to do when the baby arrives. We are anxious, so, so, anxious and many of our usual coping mechanisms have been taken away. We are crying because we're burnt out and exhausted, tired to our bones and wondering when life will feel "normal" again. It's completely understandable to be struggling at the moment, to be feeling out of your depth and turned inside out and upside down. But you are not alone - and help is available. Please don't suffer in silence. Don't wait to seek support. You are not a burden. You are loved. You are needed. And there is hope. Over on our site we have detailed information about how to seek treatment. You can also contact us directly if you need help working out where to turn. Don’t forget, also, to check in on the new parents around you. Asking the question may just save a life. We are here for you today - and always. https://www.cope.org.au/getting-help/ Image by Spirit Y Sol

09.01.2022 2020! What a year to have a baby. Thanks @jojofordillustration for this beautiful image.

09.01.2022 Laying by the pool at a relaxing tropical resort... Next minute, gets squirted in the face by an octonauts bath toy, and a chorus of my womb gremlins laughing. Nope still just laying on the bath room floor. What do you do to get a moment of piece? ... #mumlife #dreaming #whatpiece #kangatrainingau #happykids

05.01.2022 The truth is, it was and is hard for many of us Kangatrainers too. Sometimes it’s what prompted us to become an Instructor; to make friends ourselves and help o...thers do the same. It’s why helping mums feel comfortable and connect is an important element of our classes. We are a judgement-free zone We welcome everyone You can be YOU: sleep deprived, messy, unco, frazzled, anxious, quiet, loud... we’ll take you just as you are thank you very much @psychedmommy on insta has so much great advice for new mums!

04.01.2022 So what is Kangatraining? Kangatraining is a post natal exercise class that you can do WITH your baby. We focus on rebuilding your entire body after pregnancy and birth through a fun & energetic class.... Babies are worn in carriers as mums work up a sweat and are often gently rocked to sleep with our smooth moves. A Kanga class usually goes for about an hour - we start with a warm up track with babies in arms, some floorwork focusing on your core and pelvic floor muscles, and then babies go into carriers and we do some dancing, squats, lunges, arm exercises, stretching and pelvic floor exercises. You can begin Kangatraining as early as 6 weeks postpartum if you've had a vaginal delivery but need to be at least 12 weeks postpartum if you’ve had a c-section - you must also have been given the all clear from your health professional. There is no age limit for babies as long as every mother participating in Kangatraining can wear their baby safely and comfortably. message me to book in or for more info!

01.01.2022 So you or someone you know has never tried a Kangatraining class? Maybe you are a bit nervous about what to expect? Maybe you didn’t think you’d be fit enough or maybe you thought you’d be too fit? Maybe you thought it just wasn’t your thing?... Maybe you thought it was a bit daggy? Maybe your baby doesn’t love the carrier? Maybe you’re worried what your toddler would get up to? Maybe your baby is now a 40 year old man who doesn’t like to be carried? Sorry, I can’t help you with the last one! But if it was any of the others I really think you should come along and have a try. You’ll never find a more welcoming and supportive bunch of women.

01.01.2022 Nailed it!!! who else can relate?

01.01.2022 We know sometimes there are barriers that make it hard to come to something like Kangatraining. We know it can be overwhelming to get out of the house and try ...things like this after all the challenges thrown at you in 2020. We know how hard it is to get out the door when you haven’t slept, or your baby hates the car, or you’re not feeling good about yourself, or your toddler won’t cooperate, or you’re not sure if it will be worth it. Over the next two weeks we’re going to share with you the stories of five Kangamums and all the doubts that might run through your mind about getting out of the house for something like Kanga. Right now, it’s more important than ever for parents to get out and connect with other parents; to move, to talk, to dance, to have fun. Please help us share our stories to encourage parents right across Australia right now to get involved. We understand your anxiety and worry about coming, but trust us when we say they’ll disappear the moment you walk in the door. It's what we're all about. And you will he SO GLAD you came. X
