158. The Pelvic Floor, Pleasure and Embodiment: Busting Myths With Lauren Ohayon

In this episode I sit down with Lauren Ohayon, creator of the Restore Your Core method and a renowned yoga and Pilates instructor with over 25 years of experience who has helped more than 10,000 women reconnect with their pelvic floor and core when nothing else worked. We talk about why the pelvic floor is so much more than what we have been taught, why Kegels are not the answer, what completing a stress cycle actually means and why it matters, and how so many women are empowered and yet completely disconnected from their own pleasure and sensation. Lauren also busts some of the biggest myths around orgasms, vibrators, and what a healthy pelvic floor actually feels like — and shares one of the most grounding personal stories I have heard on this podcast.This one is rich, funny, deeply educational, and long overdue.Connect with Lauren:https://restoreyourcore.com/www.instgram.com/thelaurenohayonWORK WITH ME 1:1:❥Softening into self- 3 month 1:1 with Whats App Support: https://marina-yt.mykajabi.com/offers/PAWQhZHu❥❥1:1 Coaching with me: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfWcZM5s9c2OjOLwoGMI5jE6rh_JAzjN2d_vCtuVe7e3pVGxw/viewformDOWNLOAD FOR FREE:Stay or Go: 5 Clarity Questions to Reconnect with Your Inner Knowing: https://marinatriner.com/stay-or-go-guideAttatchment Practice: Discover the actual blocks beneath the surface so you can actually have the deep intimacy you crave: https://marinatriner.com/attachment-practice Connect & Ground: 10 Incredible Somatic Practices for Nervous System Regulation: https://marinatriner.com/connect-and-groundAlive & Aligned: 7 Embodiment Practices For Self Connection: https://marinatriner.com/alive-and-alignedTrigger to Rooted: A step by step process of working with your triggers: https://marinatriner.com/trigger-2-rooted VIEW MY COURSES & RESOURCES:https://marinatriner.com/resources CONNECT WITH  ME:Follow me on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/marinatriner/ Subscribe to YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@marinatriner Top Episode Quotes:"You can't be safe anywhere if you're not safe in all of you. All of you needs to be known to you, felt by you, to really have true agency, embodiment and safety." — Lauren Ohayon"The human brain is designed to get us through the day. But the human body needs to complete the stress cycle — and those are two very different things." — Lauren Ohayon"We have raised such empowered women who know everything about sex but know nothing about pleasure. And those are not the same thing." — Lauren Ohayon"A tighter pelvic floor is not what we're after. The idea that tighter means healthier is a myth — and it's doing a lot of harm." — Lauren Ohayon"Embodiment is going that layer in where you're not just performing with your body — you are your body. You've become the object you're working with." — Lauren Ohayonsomatic healing, nervous system regulation, trauma healing, pelvic floor, embodiment, stress cycle, pleasure and sexuality, women's health, inner child work, emotional regulation, attachment healing, self trust, body based healing, sexual trauma healing, burnout recovery, survival mode, deep within podcast, Lauren Ohayon, restore your core, somatic coaching
