Restore Your Core® : A 5-Week Course
Upcoming dates: Friday 5 June - 3 July | 1.20pm – 2.30pm | £132
Restore Your Core® is a full-body exercise programme designed to support people experiencing issues with their core or pelvic floor.
Who is this course for?
Restore Your Core® is a world renowned exercise programme designed to support people experiencing issues with their core or pelvic floor. This may include:
Diastasis recti (often referred to as “mummy tummy”)
Pelvic floor dysfunction, including incontinence or prolapse
Postnatal recovery
Pelvic or back pain
Pain during sex
Leaking when running, coughing or sneezing
Blending education, movement, specific breath work and nervous system regulation, the programme helps you rebuild strength, improve function and move with greater awareness. The aim is to support your core and pelvic floor so they can respond naturally and work effectively.
You’ll begin to recognise movement and postural habits that may be contributing to your symptoms, and learn how to gently change them. As your awareness grows, you can safely return to the activities you enjoy, whether that’s everyday movement with your children or more demanding exercise like running.
How the Course Works
Restore Your Core® runs several times a year as a live 5-week course, held either at my studio, Move Well in Wetherby or online via Zoom.
Across the course, we’ll build progressively through a series of exercises and flowing sequences designed to improve strength, mobility and overall function throughout the body.
The course includes:
Live guidance and personalised feedback during each session
Access to a 7-day replay of each class
Weekly homework videos to support your progress between sessions
Educational content to help you better understand and connect with your body
A supportive WhatsApp group for questions, reflections and community
One complimentary place in the Core & More follow-on class

Please note: Courses and 1:1 sessions tend to fill quickly. If you’d like to hear about upcoming dates, workshops or availability, you can join my mailing list.
If you’d like more tailored support, 1:1 Restore Your Core® sessions are available either in person at my home studio in Bardsey (near Wetherby, North Leeds) or online via Zoom.
During a one-hour session, we’ll look at your posture, breathing patterns and the way you move, to understand how these may be helping or hindering your core function. From there, we’ll work through targeted exercises to restore balance, improve mobility and support your core to function reflexively.
You’ll also receive personalised homework to continue your progress between sessions.
My intention in 1:1 work is to help you feel more at ease in your body, reconnect with how you move, and feel confident making choices that support your recovery. I don’t believe in restricting movement unnecessarily, so we’ll always work towards helping you return to the activities you enjoy.

Testimonials for Restore Your Core
Hi Louisa, the course was fabulous.
I feel like I've learned so much about my body and have a lot to keep working with. Having the little videos is very helpful.
I'm really feeling the pelvic floor with the breath and feel I've more space around my sitting bones. The breathing has been a real revelation!
— ZeenatThanks so much Louisa for the last 5 weeks. I'm feeling much stronger and more connected to my body.
I have also definitely noticed a reduction in the urge to dash to the loo.
— LouiseI do a lot of gym classes focusing on strength and recently my hip has hurt when I do lunges.. A couple of weeks ago I realised my hip no longer hurts. I can only think it must be down to the Restore Your Core course.
Thank you!

After the birth of my first child, I was diagnosed with diastasis recti, a separation of the abdominal muscles that left me feeling frustrated and helpless. Core exercises seemed to make it worse, and the advice I received ranged from surgery being my only option to dismissals that it was “just part of being a mother.”
I realised that repairing my core required more than isolated exercises.
As a movement teacher, I felt lost and afraid to move, mourning my pre-baby body. Determined to heal, I began exploring post-natal recovery and discovered the transformative work of biomechanic Katy Bowman, who emphasised alignment and whole-body movement as the foundation for healing.
I realised that repairing my core required more than isolated exercises. By addressing my posture, breathing, and overall alignment, I started seeing incredible changes. My belly flattened, my pelvis stabilised, and my whole body felt strong for the first time in years. Then, while still on this journey, I discovered I was pregnant with my third child. Determined to maintain my progress, I found Lauren Ohayon’s Restore Your Core® (RYC) programme, which offered safe and effective guidance throughout my pregnancy. After a beautiful birth, I resumed the programme and was amazed at how quickly I felt strong, stable, and connected to my body again.
One year later, my diastasis had closed, my core was stronger than ever, and I could move with confidence and joy. Inspired by my own transformation, I became one of the first RYC-certified teachers in 2017 and went on to work as Director of Education for RYC®, supporting a global team of more than 350 RYC® teachers. RYC® changed my life, and I’m passionate about helping others experience the same journey to whole-body health and wellness.
