We’re training machines.
But who’s training us to stay human?
The world is accelerating. Algorithms predict our next move.
We’re more productive than ever — and more disconnected from ourselves.
Anxiety, tension, burnout — these aren’t malfunctions.
They’re signals that we’ve lost connection with the body.
In high-pressure environments, this disconnection fuels burnout and behavioral rigidity that blocks both well-being and innovation.
Body Mind Method™ is a science-based protocol system that repattern your stress, focus, and recovery responses at the nervous system level.
In the age of AI, what matters is not just how smart you are —
but whether you can feel yourself. From the inside out.
What is the Body Mind Method?
The Body Mind Method™ is more than movement.
It’s a structured, science-backed system designed to rewire stress patterns, sharpen focus, and build adaptability — all through the body. After 1 month of implementation, participants report improvements across core domains of human performance:
The Body Mind Method™ helps rewire patterns at the root — not just how you move, but how you think, feel, connect, and respond.
Yana Nakhimova, Ph.D. Founder | Behavioral Scientist Yana Nakhimova, Ph.D., is a behavioral scientist and the founder of the Body Mind Method™ — a science-based system that helps rewire the brain through structured movement. Her work bridges behavioral science, neuroscience, somatics, and real-world behavioral transformation. For decades, behavioral science tried to change the mind through thought. Fitness focused only on the body. The link between movement and neuroplasticity was overlooked. Yana is changing that. Her Ph.D. research focused on cognitive distortions and behavior change — specifically, why people continue making unhealthy choices even when they know what to do. This disconnect became her driving question: What if the body could help the brain change? The turning point came in 2016, after her father’s second stroke. Searching for more effective tools than conventional therapy, Yana began exploring movement — and recognized it as an untapped neuroplastic intervention. She realized that movement could be used not just for fitness or rehabilitation, but as a structured tool for emotional, cognitive, and behavioral transformation. That insight — combined with her personal and scientific journey — became the foundation of the Body Mind Method™. Now based in San Francisco, and awarded a U.S. Green Card as a scientist of extraordinary ability, Yana leads programs for individuals, teams, and organizations worldwide. Her mission: to make transformation embodied, science-based, and scalable. |
Science Advisor Edward Boyden, Ph.D. Y. Eva Tan Professor in Neurotechnology at MIT, professor of Brain and Cognitive Sciences, Media Arts and Sciences, and Biological Engineering at MIT 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. |
