Founded by women, for women, we get mums moving and active, helping them to feel like the very best version of themselves.
Finding time to move, stretch, and feel strong isn’t always easy when you’re a mum. But we’re here to help!
Your health and wellbeing is our number one priority. We believe every woman in pregnancy and early motherhood should be able to workout and break a sweat with instructors who understand their needs. So that means no corporate gyms, no scary trainers, and no slapdash workouts. Because physical activity can be a lifeline for mums. And at Sweaty Mama, we support mums in not only feeling strong, but becoming part of a valuable community.

Tai Chi for beginners
Tai chi is a non-competitive martial art known for its self-defense techniques and health benefits. As a form of exercise, it combines gentle physical exercise and stretching with mindfulness.
Research has produced mixed results but appears to show that tai chi can improve balance control, fitness, and flexibility, and might cut the risk of falls in older people.
Tai chi also appears to reduce pain and the symptoms of depression in some cases.
The martial art is an ancient Chinese tradition that has evolved over centuries. To its advocates, it has become a means of alleviating stress and anxiety, a form of “meditation in motion.” Its supporters claim that it promotes serenity and inner peace.
It is safe for people of all ages, as it does not put too much stress on the muscles and joints.
