A Method Grounded in Whole-Body Science

The Restore Your Core® Method teaches you to reconnect with your body through intelligent movement – blending postural awareness, breath coordination, and mindful strength to restore balance and control.

You’ll retrain the natural relationship between your diaphragm, deep core, and pelvic floor – a system that supports every movement, from lifting a child to taking a breath. Research in movement science continues to show that these structures work together as one unit, forming the foundation for posture, stability, and pelvic health.

If you’re ready to understand your body’s patterns and rebuild strength safely, explore the program physiotherapists recommend themselves: The RYC® 12-Week Program.

The RYC® 12-Week Program helps rebuild functional strength and confidence through progressive movement patterns that adapt to each stage of healing. It’s trusted by thousands of women – and by the professionals who guide them.

Over 500 health and movement professionals have trained in the RYC® Method professional curriculum, learning the same techniques Lauren developed through decades of teaching and experience. Many of these practitioners now use RYC® concepts in clinical settings to improve patient outcomes.

Why Physiotherapists Recommend RYC®

The RYC® Method integrates movement science, physiotherapy principles, yoga, Pilates, nervous system science, and functional strength training – creating a model that’s both evidence-based and practical for real-life recovery.

Physiotherapists recommend the program because it helps clients:

Restore natural core and pelvic floor coordination. RYC® retrains how the body breathes, stabilizes, and moves so the core and pelvic floor respond automatically in daily life.
Address the deeper patterns behind symptoms. The program helps clients understand how tension, pressure, and movement habits affect healing – leading to lasting results instead of temporary fixes.
Rebuild trust and confidence in movement. Participants learn to move without fear, gaining strength and control through progressive, achievable practice.
Regulate the nervous system for better function. Somatic and awareness-based movement reduces pain, improves responsiveness, and supports calm, efficient muscle activity.
Adapt to each stage of recovery and life. With three tracks – Essentials, Guided, and Guided+ – RYC® meets participants where they are and evolves with their needs.
Gain a program trusted by professionals. The Restore Your Core® Method is recognized by physicians, pelvic health physiotherapists, and wellness specialists worldwide for its whole-body, research-informed framework.

Why Physiotherapists Say the RYC® Method Changed Their Practice

“The RYC® Professional Training has been such an informative, inspiring, positive and outstanding journey for me. I had so many WOW moments throughout the course. I started implementing the concepts on my clients as soon as we completed the 1st module. I’ve been in complete awe to see my patients responding so well.

I have been a decent physio for 8 years, but RYC® has completely transformed my practice. I feel like it’s the missing link.”

– Alifya Cutlerywala, Physiotherapist, RYC® Pro

“I would highly recommend this training to other pros. I’m now able to help clients differently because now I have all the tools necessary to train and maintain the health and strength of my postnatal patients and clients, all thanks to the RYC® Professional Training.”

– Areeba Aamir, Physiotherapist, RYC® Teacher

“RYC® provided me with an approach that allows my clients to feel things in their body instead of being told what they are doing wrong. Tools like the Yes and the No and mapping a body region are applicable to all clients but especially those who just don’t seem to be getting it. I love this approach because it empowers a client with awareness and gives them a positive movement experience. I also like the emphasis on the whole body to treat the pelvic floor. This is often discussed in the rehab world, however not often implemented as well as Lauren does.

RYC® will help you see your own blind spots as well as identify them in others. It will teach you how to help others feel what’s going on rather than being told what they are doing wrong. I gained improved skills in movement analysis of the whole body and insight into structuring sessions to optimize. The tools and assessments helped streamline my private sessions for real progress. I also liked having a template for group classes as I am more of a free thinker and this helps me stay on track a little better for a more logical progression. The material in this program can be applied to benefit every person with a core and a pelvic floor.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“My diastasis is closed, my prolapse symptoms are gone. I can lift heavy again, I can jump without leaking, sex isn’t painful anymore, and I’m stronger– not only physically, but mentally!

I know my body can heal.”
– Barbara M.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“RYC® is hands down THE most effective postpartum recovery program I have done, and I have tried them ALL. The focus is on teaching your body how to move/breathe properly while you’re on the mat and on balancing and rebuilding your pelvic floor and the rest of your core, so you DON’T have to obsess about your breathe and movement for the rest of the day (unlike other alignment based programs out there)! It’s slow and safe, and the cues are spot on to ensure you are doing the moves correctly, but don’t let that fool you, it is incredibly challenging!

This program has made me stronger than I have ever been with years of exercise and weight training, even stronger than pre-babies.”
– Shaked

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“I started Restore Your Core® with a three finger diastasis recti and on and off symptoms of prolapse. Regular yoga classes or the gym seemed to produce injuries and physical therapy felt uninspiring. RYC® was the perfect balance of moving at a therapeutic pace but inspiring me to make progress day after day.

I got stronger with each stage and little by little my diastasis recti closed. Symptoms of prolapse eased as I got stronger and learned better movement patterns. I could not be happier with my results and even moved on to Challenge Your Core before heading back to the gym with strength, confidence and a renewed connection with my body.”
