Regain usable focus under cognitive load
15-minute protocols that help return to deep work faster after meetings

Designed to produce measurable shifts in time-to-focus.


Not fitness. Not meditation. Not therapy.

A short, protocolized reset for cognitive performance at work.

Built for founders, engineers, and high-load teams
The Focus Protocol™
15-minute Focus Reset for high-load teams
A short, body-based protocol that helps people return to deep work faster after meetings and mental fatigue.

Why It Matters

Modern teams operate under constant cognitive load: back-to-back meetings, context switching, and decision pressure.

By midday, many people are mentally depleted.

Not because of lack of discipline — but because their nervous system never fully resets.


When the nervous system stays in overload:

  • focus becomes unstable
  • decisions get slower or noisier
  • deep work becomes harder to re-enter

In the age of AI, human performance is not just cognitive.

It depends on how quickly the nervous system can return to a usable working state.

Body Mind Method™ trains that reset.

For high-load teams

Body Mind Method™ delivers short, protocolized focus resets that help teams:

• Return to usable focus faster after meetings

• Reduce cognitive fatigue across the day

• Maintain clearer decision-making under load

• Re-enter deep work more reliably


All inside structured 15-minute sessions. Designed for real work conditions — not as wellness, meditation, or fitness.

Used as a short pilot with one team, then extended into ongoing weekly practice and delivered through structured protocols that fit into the normal workday.

About THE METHOD
Body Mind Method™ was created by behavioral scientist Yana Nakhimova, Ph.D., as a protocol-based system for training cognitive state through the body.
Instead of teaching concepts or mindset techniques, the method trains one practical skill: how the nervous system returns to a usable working state under load.
Each protocol uses short, structured movement sequences to:
  • interrupt overload patterns
  • restore attention
  • stabilize cognitive state
  • support clearer thinking during the workday
The approach is grounded in sensory-motor learning and neuroplasticity, and has been presented at MIT and BrainMind as part of emerging research on embodied intelligence and human performance under cognitive load.

Early Pilot Example

Body Mind Method™ partnered with Re-Origin to pilot the Relax Protocol™ with a community experiencing sustained stress and cognitive fatigue.

Participants used short, structured movement sessions to train down-regulation and restore a more stable baseline state.

Reported outcomes included:

  • reduced perceived stress
  • improved emotional stability
  • clearer mental state after sessions
  • increased body awareness and regulation skills
