New Year, New Movement: Returning to Exercise Postpartum, Safely

About this event:

The new year often comes with pressure to jump back into exercise, but postpartum recovery isn’t about keeping up with the calendar—it’s about listening to your body. Whether you’re weeks or months postpartum, returning to movement looks different for everyone, and taking the right approach can help you build strength with confidence.

Join Dr. Ashley Castellanos for a supportive conversation about returning to exercise postpartum safely and sustainably. Drawing on her expertise in postpartum recovery, she’ll explain how to recognize when your body is ready for more activity, avoid common mistakes that can lead to setbacks, and gradually rebuild strength in a way that supports your long-term health.

Whether your goal is returning to running, lifting weights, chasing after your growing little one, or simply feeling stronger in everyday life, you’ll leave with practical guidance you can apply right away. This session is designed to help parents better understand postpartum exercise, recovery, and safe movement without the pressure to “bounce back.”
