This 2.5-3 hour workshop will give you and your group an introduction to how to best approach fitness during pregnancy and postpartum as we discuss the importance of taking into account individual considerations for each athlete. During the workshop we will discuss topics such as:

• why “listening to our bodies” during pregnancy and postpartum is not enough

• risk vs. reward mentality and dealing with “athlete brain”

• basic physiology and how the core is an interconnected system

• symptoms to recognize

• an overview of breathing strategies to manage symptoms and how we can incorporate them into movement in fitness and everyday life
