Hi, I'm Dr Malaika!

I finally got strong all over with proper squats. I'll show you how in my free guide: How I Healed my Body with Proper Squats.

Designed for busy women who want to resolve:

  • prolapse

  • diastasis recti

  • back pain

  • pelvic floor dysfunction

  • shoulder pain

  • flat butt


"I love this practice.
Nobody else draws from ballet, martial arts, yoga and functional fitness in such a smart way. Zero equipment, and it's actually just 4 minutes."
- Jenny L.
"I feel so good these days.
I do my 4-minute practice in the morning and have no more issues with my neck, shoulders and hips. Every woman should have this!"
-Tori C.

Meet Dr Malaika Sarco-Thomas

Founder of Movement Matters and Creator of 4 Minutes to Fabulous

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 became pregnant with her first child at forty. 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: a squat-based sequence drawn from everything she had taught, refined until it did everything her body needed in four minutes.

She began teaching it to other mothers in 2024, and 4 Minutes to Fabulous 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, four minutes at a time.
