Meet Malaika Sarco-Thomas

Founder of Movement Matters and Creator of Undercover Exercise

Malaika is a mom with a PhD in somatic movement and twenty years of teaching experience across ballet, contemporary dance, martial arts, yoga, and contact improvisation.

Four years ago, after decades of prioritizing image and achievement over her own health, Malaika gave birth to her first child at 41. Postpartum recovery brought a weak core, persistent back pain, and almost no time to herself, and none of her old training methods fit her new life.

So she built her own solution: undercover exercise, combined with a squat-based sequence drawn from everything she had taught, refined until it did everything her body needed in four minutes. She began teaching these techniques to other mothers in 2024, and Movement Matters was born.

Now she brings two decades of movement expertise to busy mothers everywhere, helping them feel strong, capable, and fully present in their bodies, even inside their busy lives.
