We’re training machines. But who’s training us to stay human?
We're more productive — and more disconnected from the body that makes us human. Anxiety, burnout, and fatigue are signals that our nervous system is stuck in outdated survival patterns.
Body Mind Method™ is a protocol-based neuroplasticity system designed to retrain your stress, focus, and adaptability through the body.
Developed by a behavioral scientist, this method restores nervous system control through structured, science-backed movement.
In the age of AI, intelligence isn’t just cognitive — it’s embodied. Regulate from the inside out. Build clarity, resilience, and connection that lasts.
What is the Body Mind Method?
After 1 month of implementation, participants report improvements across core domains of human performance:
The Body Mind Method helps rewire patterns at the root — how you think, feel, connect, and respond.
Yana Nakhimova, Ph.D. Founder | Behavioral Scientist Yana Nakhimova, Ph.D., is a behavioral scientist and the creator of the Body Mind Method™ — a pioneering system that leverages movement as a tool for rewiring focus, emotion, and behavior. Her work integrates neuroscience, somatics, and real-world behavior change — offering a new way to train emotional resilience, focus, and adaptability through the body. For decades, behavioral science tried to change the mind through thought. Fitness focused only on the body. The powerful link between movement and neuroplasticity was overlooked. Yana is changing that. During her Ph.D. research, she explored why people continue unhealthy behaviors even when they “know better.” The gap between knowledge and action became her driving question: What if the body could help the brain change? In 2016, after her father’s second stroke, she began seeking tools beyond conventional therapy. That search led her to movement — not as fitness, yoga or dance, but as a precise neuroplastic intervention. That insight became the foundation for the Body Mind Method™. Now based in San Francisco and recognized as a scientist of extraordinary ability by the U.S. government, Yana leads programs and speaks internationally. Her mission: to make human transformation embodied, science-backed, and scalable. She invites researchers, organizations, and curious minds to explore how movement can shape the mind. |
Science Advisor Edward Boyden, Ph.D. Neuroscientist, inventor, entrepreneur. Y. Eva Tan Professor in Neurotechnology at the MIT McGovern Institute and HHMI Dr. Edward Boyden is a world-renowned neuroscientist and bioengineer, celebrated for his groundbreaking contributions to the field of neurotech. His research focuses on developing innovative tools to analyze, repair, and simulate the brain, and applying them to problems ranging from treating disorders such as blindness and Alzheimer's disease, to understanding the fundamental mechanisms underlying decisions and emotions. Boyden brings his deep expertise in neuroscience to help refine and validate the Body Mind Method. His guidance helps our approach be not only innovative, but also grounded in rigorous scientific principles, enhancing the effectiveness of our programs in promoting brain health. |
