Inspired Maternity offers throughout the year, a 6 week program, Fit for Pregnancy and Delivery  class that is held once a week for 60 minutes. During these classes, Dr. Ashley Wozniak guides expecting mothers through fitness routines and safe exercises based on trimester and current fitness level. 

What to Expect and Learn during these 6 weeks:

​

• Learn about the basic anatomy and physiology of our bodies during birth, whether your delivery is vaginal or cesarean. 

• Learn safe exercises and specific muscle groups to focus on during each trimester. There are many positions that we can strengthening and maintain mobility, and this will be individualized for each mother during classes. Exercises will also be performed in positions that best support labor positions, so you feel as strong as possible during labor. 

• Learn proper 360 breathing, coordination of our breaths with core muscles (abdominals and pelvic floor) and how to incorporate this during exercise.

• Learn proper body mechanics (bending, lifting, carrying, body mechanics if you are pregnant and taking care of another young child, as well as body mechanics for postpartum) to reduce excessive strain and intra-abdominal pressure through your core. These techniques can help reduce pelvic floor dysfunction and diastasis, low back, SIJ, hip pain. 

• You will be provided additional educational material through email or google doc folder covering various topics like laboring positions, basic prenatal nutrition, evidence based education on gestational diabetes, Pitocin, natural child birth, glucose testing, and many more pregnancy related topics that mothers seek during pregnancy. 

• You will be provided Dr. Ashley Wozniak, PT, DPT, OCS postpartum healing educational forms on both vaginal and cesarean recovery.
