In Motion ~ AMALIAH x This Girl Can

✨ Come Along to our Move for 10 Challenge in collaboration with This Girl Can! ✨

Join AMALIAH and This Girl Can for an evening of movement, conversation and community as we launch our Move for 10 Challenge to our community.

If life has got in the way of being active, you're not alone. Finding time isn't always easy, and it can be hard to know where to start, or how to pick things back up. Movement doesn't have to mean an hour long workout session or expensive memberships. Sometimes it simply means choosing yourself for 10 minutes and getting started. 

We’ll kick things off with a fun 10-minute movement activation led by Fatima Zara, followed by a panel conversation with some incredible women discussing motivation and the real-life barriers that can make it difficult to get moving, whether that's time, our default of putting ourselves last, or our mindset towards making space for joy and play in our daily lives. We'll then open up things up for a Q&A with the audience!

Our panellists include Najma Abdi, co-founder of Sole Striders, a women-led running community, Sagal Abdullahi, Co-Founder of Barakah LDN, a grassroots football and movement CIC for Muslim and minoritised women and girls, and Fatima Zara.

What Can You Do In 10 Minutes?

Taking a walk, stretching, dancing around in your living room, stepping out for fresh air, playing with kids, or trying a quick home workout, every movement counts, and sometimes all it takes is just 10 minutes of your day.

Spaces are limited, so don’t miss out. Grab your spot now!
