Hopefully you have not fried the motor. To free a stuck motor: try to reach past the strainer to the impeller and turn it. If you can't do that, remove the electric end cover and find a double flat for a wrench where the shaft goes into the motor. Or maybe you can remove the spring thing from the end of the motor and move the shaft with a pair of vise grips or pliers. Don't damage the place where the spring thing mounts. Don't try to move the motor with the plastic fan thing near the pump, you'll just break it, and then you really have problems.
To keep a motor from sticking, thru off season occasionaly spin the pump, just a few seconds will do, don't need water.

Anytime a breaker is tripped regularly there is cause to suspect something is wrong. We could sit here all day and speculate as to what it is, but unless you are fairly comfortable with electrical problems I'd suggest calling a qualified tech out to have a look. Something has obviously changed since it apparently did not do it before.
One thing to check: Make sure the amperage on the breaker is equal to what the manufacturer specs call for. Heat uses more electricity than any thing else. It may be too much demand on a breaker too lightweight.

I have had a few troublesome units over the year that did as you describe due to 'dew' overnight collecting around the tub and the increased moiture sent the motor of the circ pump "over the edge" iinto a grounded state. A leaking pump seal was adding to the problem. Once the seal leak along with the dew got high enough the GFI would sense the grounded condition and trip. Fixing the pump seal and drying/cleaning the motor fixed the problem every time. If you find any other leak sources around the pump you will need to fix them as well.
