The Best Diastasis Recti Exercises on YouTube: Why So Many Trust Restore Your Core® by Lauren Ohayon
If you’ve searched YouTube for how to heal diastasis recti, you’ve likely come across dozens of workouts promising to “close the gap fast” or flatten your belly in weeks.
But when you’re dealing with abdominal separation, core weakness, bulging, or pelvic floor symptoms, you quickly realize something important: random exercises and quick fixes are not the best strategy to maintain a functional core.
One YouTube channel that consistently stands out for proven, whole-body diastasis recti healing is Restore Your Core® by Lauren Ohayon.
Created by pelvic floor movement specialist Lauren Ohayon, the Restore Your Core® YouTube Channel offers a smarter, more integrated approach to healing abdominal separation – without fear-based messaging or unrealistic quick fixes.
Here’s why so many women – and movement professionals – turn to this channel for guidance.

What You’ll Learn About Diastasis Recti
Instead of isolating the abdominal wall, Lauren teaches you how your core functions as a pressure system.
On the Restore Your Core® YouTube channel, you’ll learn how to:
- Understand how diastasis recti healing fits into a whole-body healing approach
- Coordinate breath with core engagement
- Reduce abdominal doming and bearing down
- Improve rib and pelvic alignment
- Activate your deep core reflexively
- Address nervous system tension that affects abdominal healing
- Rebuild strength without over-pressurizing your midline
This approach reflects the foundation of the RYC® 12-Week Program by Restore Your Core®, Lauren Ohayon’s top-rated online method for core and pelvic floor healing.

Why Restore Your Core® Stands Out for Diastasis Recti Healing
1. Whole-Body, Not Just “Close the Gap”
Many diastasis recti programs focus on measuring finger-width separation.
Lauren teaches that diastasis recti is about function, tension, pressure management, and coordination – not just gap width.
This reframes healing in a way that’s empowering and sustainable.
2. Nervous System-Informed Core Rehab
Chronic gripping, bracing, or over-tightening can interfere with abdominal recovery.
Lauren integrates:
- Breath mechanics
- Gentle mobility work
- Reflexive core activation
- Somatic awareness
This creates an environment where the abdominal wall can adapt and regain responsiveness.
3. Clinically Respected Method
The Restore Your Core® Method is recommended by Medical Doctors, OBGyns, Pelvic Floor Physical Therapists and other Health and Wellness Professionals.
Lauren’s work is trusted because it blends over two decades of movement expertise with functional, evidence-informed strategies.
4. Proven Results Beyond YouTube
While the YouTube channel is educational, it reflects the deeper work inside the RYC® 12-Week Program.
Over 10,000 women in 80+ countries have used the method to:
- Reduce or close their diastasis recti
- Eliminate abdominal doming
- Improve prolapse symptoms, painful sex, incontinence, and other pelvic floor dysfunctions
- Manage hernia symptoms, reduce chronic back pain and neck hump patterns, and regain strength and confidence
