For more than 25 years, Lauren Ohayon has been teaching people how their core and pelvic floor actually work – through pregnancy, birth, postpartum and beyond. Her method, Restore Your Core®, looks at the pelvic floor as part of a whole system: breath, ribs, pressure, gait, the nervous system, neural pathways and habitual movement patterns.

That same approach to the core and pelvic floor is what she brought to teaching in-person prenatal childbirth education classes in New York, to guiding thousands of women to prepare and heal their bodies throughout their pregnancy, birth and recovery journeys, to co-founding One Strong Mama (now Body Ready Method®), and sits at the foundation of how her work prepares the body for birth. In the years since, Lauren has refined her own approach further into the RYC® prenatal pelvic floor tools and the proactive pelvic floor prep these tools come from. Today she trains doulas in her professional training and as a guest teacher for doula training, midwives, physiotherapists, and movement professionals around the world to replace hopelessness with body literacy and agency.

Lauren has been working and training her pros through a bio-psycho-social lens for decades with incredible results.

Her trainings are known for going deep into the why. Practitioners learn to feel the work in their own bodies first, and then guide their clients there. RYC® Professionals describe it as the missing piece from their original trainings.
