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.

About the tutor
Carrie Wood
Hi my name is Carrie.I am from Scotland originally and Sydney has been home since 2012. I’m a mum of two and Kangatrainer. I first heard about Kangatraining when I was pregnant with my first and was surprised to learn it was founded in Vienna. I’d never heard of it but then I’d never been to a baby expo or been looking for postnatal exercise classes. I was very keen to join a class but there wasn’t any close to me. After my first girl was born and I felt ready to get back into training. I joined a gym with an on-site creche. This didn’t suit me for so many reasons. I’d have mum guilt for leaving her or she would be unsettled and I’d have to take her out or I’d be checking on her several times in the hour. I didn’t ever get much of a workout and when I did I worried that the exercises weren’t right for my postnatal body. Being trained in pre and postnatal pilates, I had some insight into the changes that needed to be made for a safe workout and this is what led me to train as a Kangatrainer specialising in babywearing fitness. My newest business partner was born in February 2020 and together we shared this awesome Kangatraining program to all the new mums. I provide a fun workout with your baby.
