I decided to train as a Restore Your Core™ teacher because I loved the positive effect it had on my own body. It really is like no other programme I’ve tried.
What is Restore Your Core™?
RYC is a whole body method to retrain the core and pelvic floor muscles to be functional, reflexive, responsive and supportive to your body. It combines sustainable and functional pilates- and yoga-based exercises, with a focus on biomechanics and alignment.
What’s different about Restore Your Core™?
RYC® gives you the knowledge and tools you need to understand your body better and work out more effectively.
RYC® isn’t just about building core strength, although it will help your core get stronger.
You’ll learn about common core “cheats” and strategies that can contribute to core and pelvic floor dysfunction; how to spot when you’re using them; and how to build a functional, reflexive core that supports you both on and off the mat.
And because we’re not just a collection of parts, this is a programme that trains the core as a whole-body system. From optimal breathing for the core, to addressing tight hips and shoulders.
RYC® will help you discover your own preferred patterns – where your body likes to move, and what movements it avoids – so you can create more strength, mobility, stability and function.
RYC® takes a function over fit approach, encouraging you to return to the sports and activities you love once you feel ready and confident. It offers long term solutions over quick-fix, band-aid ones.
“I have learnt so much from Hannah about how to support my core…I thought you just had to walk around with your stomach clenched but this is so not the case. I have now started to train my core to kick in when my body needs it. I can now lift in a safer way as by using my candles breath, my core knows it’s needed and springs into action.”
Who is Restore Your Core™ suitable for?
Restore Your Core™ is suitable for people who are experiencing core and pelvic floor issues, such as:
A weak core or a gap in the core wall (diastasis recti)
Incontinence when running, sneezing, jumping, coughing
Constant back pain
Hip discomfort
Pelvic organ prolapse
How can I start Restoring My Core?
I teach group classes, both online and in-person in Taunton, as well as 1:1s. See below for details of upcoming classes and how to book.
Restore Your Core™ is also available as a 12-week online programme (that you get to keep for life).
Restore Your Core™ online classes
Online classes are a great way to improve core and pelvic floor function in a welcoming, supportive environment. Week by week, you’ll build whole body strength, mobility, stability and function in a progressive and sustainable way. I’ll show you ways to modify moves to fit your needs, and you’ll have access for a week to a recording of each class. Classes are kept to a maximum of 6 participants.
If you’re new to Restore Your Core™, Foundation Series are the ideal place to start. If you’ve completed a Foundation class and would like to progress your practice, the Intermediate Series is perfect for you.
“Thank you Hannah for your clear guidance, support and expertise during the course. I found it extremely useful for both my core and wider posture. I’m more conscious about the way I move my body each day and am starting to stand straighter and my core engages more quickly . It feels like I have an enhanced awareness about my body now.”

Restore Your Core™ 1:1 coaching
Prefer a more individual, tailored approach? Work with me one-to-one.
Once you sign up for coaching, I’ll ask you to complete a confidential pre-screen questionnaire. Based on your goals for coaching, the first session will start with assessments, which may include postural alignment, breathing strategy, core strategy and/or gait, to identify any “blind spots” and patterns that may be holding you back.
Following the session, you’ll receive a video summary of your exercise programme.
