There’s a growing group of high-level movement professionals who truly ‘get’ the complexities of how pelvic floor / core healing is intrinsically linked to the entire body and the nervous system.
A group of professionals who are no longer spot treating or using textbook protocols. They recognize that while conditions may share the same name, they are entirely unique to the body they are presenting in.
They aren’t intimidated by this knowledge because they have the depth of understanding and the varied, nuanced toolkit to create individual treatment plans, no matter how complex the condition.
These professionals are beyond placing things in modality-shaped boxes and prescribing to stereotypes. They know paradigms are limiting and rules need to be broken. And they have the depth of knowledge and the range of tools it takes to be able to break them.
When I first began teaching, none of the (many) trainings I did prepared me for addressing core and pelvic floor issues.
They were incredibly simplistic in their approach – kegels, TVA exercises, not much else.
Not only did they not deviate from the standard model of care, but they also did not take into account that so many women are extremely disconnected from their pelvic floor and core due to toxic cultural norms of shame and shadow.
This meant that as teachers, we were neither taught how to move beyond simple models of care nor help people have an empowering, meaningful, felt experience of their pelvic floor.
This felt like a massive disservice but also was not working to help anyone. I was not able to truly reach the people I worked with and they were discouraged, disconnected and disengaged.
So, I created the thing I knew I needed. I developed a nuanced way of meeting these women where they were at and actually giving them what they needed. I drew from the multiple disciplines I had trained for years in, but conformed to none of them.
This system became the RYC® Method. And teaching it online allowed me to reach more women so desperate for dignified healing.
I saw consistent, significant progress with clients. Success stories. Hundreds, then thousands, then 10s of thousands of women regaining their confidence and trusting their bodies again.
‘I’m just loving that I can help clients get in touch with their own body. Honestly I feel so empowered and really enjoy the challenge of finding the place where I can help them. Clients are telling me that some of these things doctors couldn’t help them with, and I just took a course for a half a year!!!’
‘I gained a trained eye, first and foremost, to understand patterns in a moving body. I gained confidence in teaching and a community of compassionate and intelligent practitioners. As a result of this training, I feel more confident about charging adequately for my services.’
‘The biggest benefit I’ve experienced from the RYC® Professional Training is feeling confident in completing assessments on my current clients as an OT. Lauren is so attentive and passionate in her training. It opens up a new way of accessing your own body and gives you the confidence to help others. You can’t help but be excited to spread the knowledge!’
‘I joined the RYC® Method Training to learn a program to refer discharged pelvic floor clients. The training offers a wealth of information, exercises and tools. It improved my confidence in prescribing exercises, gave me a greater understanding and awareness of compensation patterns and I am already using it daily with pelvic floor clients.’
‘The RYC® Pro Training is the most holistic whole person look at helping clients rehab and restore in postpartum. I’m now observing my clients in new ways. I have also shifted how I cue. I’m already applying new postural and gait assessments, as well as helping clients find various ways to access glutes, connect to their breath and do more intricate work in the spine… in so many ways.
Using the RYC® approaches helps my clients feel things better in their body versus just following what I ask them to do.’
‘Not only is Lauren and her team amazing to work with but this Method helps people in the most amazing way! It has completely changed the way I work with people one on one and in a group setting. I feel more confident than ever! The people I work with can already feel the difference in their bodies!’
‘I’d recommend the RYC® Teacher Training because it’s an in-depth training that has given me a deeper understanding of how our bodies function and how I can help correct compensations and help people feel better and invite more ease into their bodies.’
‘I recommend the RYC® Teacher Training to other professionals because it works. It’s given me confidence in what I’m sharing with others. I love that it gives you tools and correctives that you can implement immediately in your own life and with clients.’
‘RYC® is a movement practice unlike any other I have ever engaged in. It provides a strongly somatic experience and brings a deeper awareness and understanding of your body.
I have been doing RYC® on and off since 2018 and I love it so much. It changed the way I approach all movement throughout the day and how I approach other exercise. It has helped me feel safe in my body and recover from a lot of birth trauma. I now look forward to sharing that gift with other women.’
‘The RYC® Professional Training under-promises and over-delivers. Training in the RYC® Method has allowed me to do that as a professional.’
‘The RYC® Professional Training goes beyond the typical spot treatment methods that are often encouraged during other rehab training. I am now better able to identify what I’m seeing in people’s bodies, the patterns they present with, and effective tools to offer.
I have also been using more somatic, embodied language to help my clients feel into their own bodies. I now use the things I have learned constantly with my patients as a pelvic floor therapist.’
‘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.’
‘I’m an osteopath (women’s health/pelvic health, and chronic pain specialist) and I now do roughly 50% of the session as movement coaching. It’s been so, so valuable.
It’s empowering for my patients – they realize that they don’t need to rely on someone for regular hands-on/passive treatment to feel better. They can feel strong in their body by learning to trust it, by learning how to support themselves.’
‘Since completing the RYC® Pro Training I’ve been getting consistently better results; sometimes dramatic improvements with a single session! It’s wonderful to see my clients have ‘light-bulb’ moments about their bodies, finally understanding why they have pain. Being able to help them have less pain and fewer symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction is so rewarding.
The training is comprehensive, and the continued support after graduating is phenomenal. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to provide incredible care for their clients, and take their practice to a new level!’
‘My cueing is more mindful and more useful and I certainly have a MUCH better understanding as to when/why to give particular cues (i.e. better understanding of alignment; intention to strengthen, lengthen, or nervous system reset). My clients have enhanced mind-body connection; improved alignment; and are more empowered through the RYC® knowledge and tools!’
‘If you are looking for tools to support your clients challenges with POP, incontinence, ED, etc., this is a great course to gain assessment and movement tools you can empower your clients with.
It has given me a way to continue to serve my community without doing hands-on bodywork.’
‘The RYC® Teacher Training is an amazing amount of information that can be used in a variety of ways on an amazing platform with an incredible group of people supporting the journey. It’s given me a deeper understanding of the interconnected whole body, with a lot of tools to use with clients. I love being a part of the RYC® family!’
‘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.’
‘This training went so far beyond what I learned in my previous trainings. Lauren has an exceptional ability to create building blocks so you can really help ANY person create movement through specific smaller steps. I now understand full segments of the body and how they relate to and impact other segments. In multiple different bodies. I definitely think more therapists need to take this course. If you’re a therapist who CARES about your patients’ pelvic floor outcomes, you want to do this course!’
‘This felt like a missing piece from other movement trainings I’ve done. If you’re a movement pro frustrated with trainings that leave you questioning their methods, or are interested in things that actually work to make a difference, this is the place for you!’
‘If you want to support women and help them heal from pelvic injuries, the program and the training are the gold standard for pelvic health. The training has changed how I view every aspect of exercise and movement, and I filter everything through the lens of the RYC® Method.’
‘RYC® has completely changed my work as a birth pro. I understand bodies and their mechanics better. 100% of the clients I’ve worked with since taking the RYC® Teacher Training have benefited from my knowledge of core and pelvic floor.’
‘RYC® has helped me see bodies, injuries and movement through a different lens. It’s brought me more clients who want to heal diastasis recti, pelvic instability, and urine leaking.
I used to categorize movement like, “that’s yoga”, “that’s Pilates” “that’s a gym exercise”, now I see everything in terms of movement and bodies doing movement.’
‘The RYC® Professional Training has given me clear information and tools to support clients in their bodies and movement experiences. I use the tools with everyone, regardless of their physical issues. It helps EVERYONE!
Every person interested in understanding movement and the body at a deeper level will benefit and gain a wealth of tools and tricks for all bodies and needs. Lauren teaches in a clear, accessible way. Even those with years of experience will gain loads of value in this training.
I now have more referrals from both clients and colleagues. My work with RYC® has been a game changer for so many of my clients.’
‘I’ve gained the knowledge and confidence to help clients with their core & pelvic floor health in ways they don’t find elsewhere.
I have an entirely new career. I work as a movement teacher full time now.’
‘Since the RYC® Method Training I am gaining more 1-1 clients and using the tools and assessments I’ve learned with them to support them on their recovery journey.’
‘I have an arsenal of movements to offer patients to support each treatment. Last week one of my new clients said, “You show me how to get better.” One of my clients on Saturday said, “I’m in the least pain I have ever been in!” I use my RYC® assessment tools all the time to treat the whole chain rather than just chasing pain!’
‘SO many Ah-Ha moments! The community is so empowering and supportive. Lauren creates a real, authentic and encouraging vibe. I feel like I’ve been given so many resources that even after the training if I ever get stuck I know I’ll have what I need to help me along. Lauren’s created something really special. I only have great things to say about this professional training.’
‘Profound. Remarkable. Empowering.
Extensive support and a fantastic community.This training has inspired me to go forth and help others.’
‘The RYC® Teacher Training gives you brilliant whole-body tools for modern life. It’s given me clarity over what I’m teaching and why, more passion to support people with core and pelvic floor issues, and helped me fall back in love with movement. My classes are already busier!’
‘I use the assessments from all the modules in the RYC® Method Training with my clients now. I already did a lot of alignment, breathing, core, and pelvic floor with my clients but this transformed how I approach it.’
‘Being able to blend the RYC® tools into both my personal and professional Pilates practice has opened up a new level of body awareness and understanding for both myself and my clients. Incorporating the concept of pressure reduction to movement has created an entirely new map for how I approach sports injuries.’
‘Since the RYC® Teacher Training I view everything differently. I can now see how I am part of helping a person heal in a new and beautiful way. I have begun to sprinkle a lot if “as if”‘s and proprioception tools into my movement classes, and in my embodied healing work I feel I am able to support awareness in a continued soft and safe way.’
