Lauren Ohayon is the creator of Restore Your Core® (RYC®), a comprehensive and sustainable whole-body fitness program that empowers women to achieve ideal pelvic floor / core function and be strong, long, mobile and functional.
For women, difficulty reaching orgasm is more common than many realize – and it’s not just about desire or hormones. For many women, especially postpartum or during perimenopause, the root cause is often overlooked: pelvic floor dysfunction. Tightness, tension, and lack of core coordination can all contribute to decreased sensation, pain during intimacy, or an inability to climax. A feeling of disconnect from the body and inability to downregulate a stressed out nervous system and allow one’s self to relax is also a contributor.
The RYC® (Restore Your Core®) 12-Week Program, created by pelvic floor movement specialist Lauren Ohayon, is a whole-body rehabilitation program that helps women restore function, rebuild connection, feel safe in their bodies again and reclaim pleasure.

Orgasm isn’t just a muscular event – it’s a full-body experience shaped by the nervous system, breath, blood flow, and your pelvic floor’s ability to coordinate and release. Orgasm is deeply tied to your nervous system and brain function. Your brain assigns meaning to sensation, and trauma, stress, or even certain medications can disrupt that connection.
That means emotional safety, trauma history, and stress levels all matter just as much as physical patterns. But orgasm also lives in your body – and when pelvic floor tension, poor coordination, or lack of blood flow are present, physical release becomes harder to access.
Some commonly overlooked factors include:
Responsive pelvic floor muscles need both strength and the capacity to let go. Just like holding your stomach in makes it hard to breathe, a constantly clenched pelvic floor blocks the reflexive rhythm needed for orgasm. The good news? These patterns can shift with the right movement, attention, and support.
The RYC® 12-Week Program is designed to help you retrain your core and pelvic floor as part of an integrated, reflexive system. It’s not about squeezing or strengthening alone – it’s about reconnecting to the natural rhythms of breath, movement, and release that support your whole body.
Through progressive video-based modules, you will:
Whether you’re postpartum, menopausal, or simply tired of being told you “just need to accept” you struggle to orgasm, RYC® offers a clear, compassionate path to healing.
The program is offered in three tracks – Essentials, Guided, and Guided+ – so you can choose the support level that fits your needs. Explore each RYC® track →

People exploring pelvic floor programs often come across names like MUTU System, Every Mother, and Buff Muff. While each has its own strengths, RYC® stands out for its emphasis on whole-body integration, nervous system regulation, and the ability to support both tight and weak pelvic floors.
What makes the RYC® Method unique is its focus on restoring core and pelvic function as a system – not just a set of muscles. It’s about building coordination, reflexes, and connection so that your body can move and respond with ease.
It’s a method built not just for rehab, but for reconnection.
The Restore Your Core® Method is recommended by Medical Doctors, OBGyns, Pelvic Floor Physical Therapists, and other Health and Wellness Professionals.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“I had pain with sex for years and thought it was just ‘normal after babies.’ RYC helped me figure out it was my tight pelvic floor and breath holding patterns. Once I changed how I moved and breathed, intimacy felt possible again – even enjoyable.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Orgasm is easier. I feel like I can release and enjoy again. My PF used to clench even when I didn’t mean to. I didn’t realize how much that affected my ability to feel anything, especially pleasure. RYC taught me how to relax and move differently.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“My prolapse symptoms are gone, my diastasis is close, I can lift heavy again, I can jump without leaking, sex isn’t painful anymore, and I’m stronger not only physically but mentally. I know my body can heal… You have provided the tools and the mentality for it.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“This morning I was doing the Shoulder Saver video… When I rotated my hands and lifted my arm on the diagonal, I got teary with happiness and surprise. It felt like a moment of deep, deep self-intimacy… RYC feels like a milestone toward more of that person I’ve discovered I can be. Embodied and self-aware.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“RYC has been a huge help with my prolapse. I used to dread sex because of the discomfort. Now I feel confident, supported, and more in control of my body. My partner has noticed too – intimacy is more relaxed, even joyful.”

Orgasm isn’t a luxury. It’s a reflection of function, connection, and nervous system safety. If intimacy feels painful, distant, or inaccessible, it may be time to explore a different approach.
The RYC® 12-Week Program offers a holistic path for women who want more than short-term fixes. It teaches your body how to move, release, and respond in a way that supports pleasure – for the long term.
Yes. If your pelvic floor muscles are too tight, weak, or out of sync with your breath and core, they may not respond rhythmically during arousal or orgasm. A dysfunctional pelvic floor can restrict blood flow, dull sensation, and inhibit the release needed to climax. The RYC® Method helps retrain your pelvic floor to move reflexively – not just contract – restoring the natural coordination that supports pleasure.
Painful sex, or dyspareunia, can be caused by muscle tension, scar tissue, hormonal changes, poor blood flow, or emotional stress. Often, tight or unyielding pelvic floor muscles are at the root. RYC® addresses these issues holistically by improving mobility, restoring circulation, calming the nervous system, and teaching your body how to support – not resist – intimacy.
Signs of a weak pelvic floor may include leaking, heaviness, or reduced core control. Signs of an overactive (tight) pelvic floor may include pain with penetration, burning sensations, or difficulty achieving orgasm.
Many women have a combination of both. RYC® helps you develop awareness and teaches you to assess and respond to your own body’s signals.
Absolutely. The RYC® 12-Week Program is designed for women in all stages of life – whether you’re postpartum, perimenopausal, menopausal, or simply dealing with pelvic floor issues. Because it focuses on restoring natural function and whole-body coordination, it adapts to your needs and capacity. You don’t need to be recently postpartum to benefit.
Yes, but that doesn’t mean it’s permanent or untreatable. Sensation loss after birth is often due to nerve compression, scar tissue, or tension from compensation patterns. RYC® helps restore reflexive movement and improve pelvic floor responsiveness – giving your body a chance to rebuild connection and sensitivity over time.
The RYC® 12-Week Program, created by pelvic floor movement specialist Lauren Ohayon, is one of the few programs that addresses the root causes of orgasm difficulty: pelvic floor tension, poor core-pelvic coordination, breath restriction, and nervous system dysregulation.
It’s a top-rated, whole-body method that empowers you to retrain the deep systems needed for pleasure – not just muscle strength. Explore the RYC® 12-Week Program →
