Mama Movement Alice Springs

So, exactly what is Mama Movement? 🤎

Mama Movement was created to give women a safe and supportive space to rediscover their strength, build confidence and move their bodies through every stage of motherhood. 💗

Our programs are designed by a certified pre & postnatal fitness instructor, with purposeful, women-centred strength training that considers the real demands of motherhood. Sessions are then coached by our lovely trainer, Erin, who is there to guide form and technique and help modify movements for pregnancy, postpartum, injuries or wherever you’re at in your fitness journey.

And if you’re wondering what a session actually looks like…

We start by warming up and preparing our bodies to move, then work through 6-minute stations, each with two exercises that you alternate between at your own pace for as many quality rounds as you can. There’s no pressure to keep up with the person beside you — you work at the level that’s right for you.

We come together for a group/partner station, then finish with intentional core work focused on proper core and pelvic floor control, followed by stretching.

And motherhood doesn’t have to stop while you train. 🤎 Babies and children are more than welcome. Wear your baby, pause for a feed, grab a snack, give a cuddle or settle your little one, then pick right back up when you’re ready.

It’s structured training. It’s knowledgeable support. It’s movement that meets you where you’re at. And it’s a community of mums doing it right alongside you. 💗

Parents of Alice Springs! You need to know about the amazing resource that is the Central Australian Toy Library! 🧸

For a very affordable annual membership your kids can have access to 5-10 toys and you can rotate them every 3 weeks! It’s perfect for the ever developing interests and abilities or our little ones and it minimises waste. 👶🧠🌏

At Mama Movement Alice Springs, we’ve used their toy library service since day one and can’t recommend it more highly! 💛

Don’t let these chilly mornings fool you, we warm up pretty quickly around here ☀️💗

A huge congratulations to Wilson for completing her half marathon this weekend past at the Springs Running Festival 🏃🏽‍♀️ 🏃‍♂️ 🏃🏼

Kirsten has been so consistent in her strength training at Mama Movement Alice Springs and balancing it well with her running prep.

A smart return to running is essential for postnatal Mums and Kirsten was very intentional on including strength and stability training in her programming and sticking to it even on the tough days! You’re a bloomin’ legend Kirsten!

Wednesday at MMAS 💗

Halfway through the week, and we showed up exactly as we were.

We watched little ones we’ve known since they were tiny babies confidently wandering off to explore, toddlers who once stayed close to mum now running across the field together, and mamas finding time to move their bodies in between it all.

There were toys scattered across the grass, giggles, a few tears, and plenty of moments where life happened.

A quick cuddle. A nappy change. A toilet run. Stopping to nurse your baby. Swapping a dumbbell for your bub. Taking a breather before jumping back in.

No one batted an eye, because that’s what this space is for.

You don’t have to have it all together to belong here. You literally just have to show up.

And there’s no better time than this Friday! 💗 Remember you can bring a friend along for their first FREE session!

Even the skies seemed to be sad today as it was our last session (for a while anyway!) with the woman behind Mama Movement Alice Springs 🫶🏽 The one who created this beautiful space where mums could come exactly as they are, find their community, and leave feeling a little lighter + a whole lot stronger! 💪🏽💗

Thank you, Alexandra, for always showing up for us, rain or shine. Your heart, encouragement, and the community you’ve built will continue to leave its mark long after today.

As one chapter closes, another begins. 💞 We’re so excited to welcome Erin as she steps into coaching our classes and am excited to see her in this role! 🩷

While Erin will be leading our workouts, Alexandra will still be behind the scenes managing consultations and bookings, so she’ll still be very much part of Mama Movement! So if you are a mum with littles keen to join, don’t be shy and send us a DM! We’d love to have you! 💗

A beautiful session, coffee, homemade treats, sweet friendships, and a whole lot of love for one very special woman. Everything we ever dreamed Mama Movement Alice Springs would be. 🤍

Thank you to everyone who came to celebrate one year of Mama Movement and help us give Alexandra the send-off she deserves.
