Kangatraining Indooroopilly, Sherwood & Centenary Suburbs

It is Jean Hailes Womens Health Week!

This year’s theme, ‘Do it anyway’, is about taking small steps for your health, on your terms. It’s not about pushing through pain or pressure. It’s about giving yourself permission to prioritise your health, whether that means seeking support, asking another question, taking time to rest or doing what feels right for you.

The Jean Hailes website is a great starting point for questions about your health, with new topics released daily.

Head over to have a browse today and prioritise your health!

Because sometimes this is what our classes look like .... bigger kids are welcome to Kanga too. Especially on pupil free days!!!

*This is your reminder... don't send your kids to school tomorrow!!!*

We are so excited to be able to offer our mini photoshoots again this year at Kangatraining in Sherwood!

Emma Danielle Photography will be joining us for the morning to capture some beautiful moments for our mums and bubs!

Here's Emma's story:

"For a long time photography has been a passion of mine; however, it wasn’t until I started my own family that I realised how precious an image can be. After constanly documenting all these memories for my little family, I realised that this was something I could offer to others, which lead to the creation of my family photography business - Emma Danielle Photography.

I truly believe that being a parent is one of the most beautiful life experiences, which is why I am so passionate about capturing those special moments for families to look back on. And as a mum myself, I know how important it is to have a few images where you are in the photo, too!

My style is candid and natural. I will therefore guide you throughout the photoshoot to create genuine moments that show the connection between you and your child/children. After all, I want your images to feel like a true representation of you and your family."

We can't wait to welcome Emma to our Kanga village!

It can be hard being a new mum. We get it. If you're feeling isolated, unsure how to meet other mums or need something for YOU in your life... come to Kanga!

Kangatraining provides both physical and mental health benefits for mothers and their babies, offering a safe, low-impact, babywearing full-body workout that strengthens your core and pelvic floor muscles while improving cardiovascular fitness and flexibility. We do all this while also helping to promote social connection amongst our mums - if that is what you need in your life! We have an optional chat circle at the end of each class for mums to chat all things about life. We'll talk the highs and lows of your week, we'll chat about your baby's milestones and we'll share tips and tricks to make your days easier.

Come and trial a class for just $10! Classes restart for Term 4 from 7 October.

You'll be so glad you came 🥰

Did you know Kangatraining is so much more than just a fitness class?

Yes, we move.
Yes, we sweat.
Yes, we rebuild strength after baby…

But we also laugh, connect, and lift each other up.

Sometimes it’s a coffee after class.
Sometimes it’s lunch dates.
Often—it’s lifelong friendships.

We’re not just a workout.
We’re a village. 💗

Come for the fitness.
Stay for the fun, the support, and the mums who just get it.

✨ Trial classes welcome anytime! ✨
Come and do something amazing for both you and your baby.

Today was a beautiful day to take the opportunity to wash yoga mats for our class.

Did you know that our classes start with a short period of floorwork? No yoga mat, no worries, we have some to borrow!

Kangatraining floorwork is an important mat-based segment of our workout that safely targets and rebuilds deep core, abdominal, and pelvic floor muscles after birth.

What Happens During Floorwork
Mums transition down to exercise mats with or near their little ones. We focus on postnatal safe exercises to aid in postpartum recovery. Babies often rest on the floor, giggle, or interact with mum during the routine. Sometimes they're used during our exercises! These exercises are designed alongside women's health physiotherapists to gently awaken deep stabiliser muscles without high-pressure impact and to protect vulnerable areas in postpartum women.

Is your bub not a fan of being on the floor?? No worries, we see this all the time. We keep this floorwork short before we put our carriers on and if that still doesn't work for you, mums are encouraged to do whatever works - even if means putting carriers on early!

A reminder that there is NO class tomorrow at the Centenary Dance Academy due to the Ekka Day Public Holiday. I hope that everyone enjoys the day, however its spent and I look forward to seeing our Centenary class next week on the 19th August!

Our Sherwood class is going ahead as per usual on Friday at 10.15!
