Staying Strong in Pregnancy & Returning to Exercise Postpartum
About this Event

Pregnancy and postpartum bring major changes to the body, but that doesn’t mean you have to stop training or feel unsure about how to move. This 2-hour workshop will help you understand how your pelvic floor, core, and strength training interact during pregnancy and recovery.

Led by Lauren Sutherland (Pelvic Health Physiotherapist) and Brooke Johnston (Pre/Postnatal Performance Training Specialist), this session combines practical education with simple movement strategies so you can exercise with more confidence during pregnancy and safely rebuild strength postpartum.

Topics include
• Pelvic floor basics and how it responds to breath, load, and movement
• Common pelvic floor symptoms in pregnancy and postpartum (what’s normal vs not)
• Myths and misconceptions about exercising during pregnancy
• How to modify strength training as your body changes
• Breath, core engagement, and pressure management strategies
• Understanding diastasis rectus abdominis and how to train without fear
• General principles for preparing the body for birth
• Postpartum recovery and realistic return-to-exercise timelines

There will also be time for Q&A and discussion around how pelvic health physiotherapy and perinatal strength coaching can support you.

Duration: 2 hours
Format: Education with optional practical exercises

This workshop is ideal for pregnant individuals or new moms who want to stay active, strong, and informed throughout pregnancy and postpartum.
