Designed to produce measurable shifts in time-to-focus and cognitive fatigue.


Not fitness. Not meditation. Not therapy.


A body-based protocol system for cognitive performance.

Used by founders, engineers, and high-load teams
Protocols for individuals, teams, and organizations
  • Usable focus, clear thinking & faster return to work — in 15-minute. For high-load workdays, meetings, and deep work.

Why It Matters

We are scaling machine intelligence.

Humans are operating under unprecedented cognitive load.

Burnout, anxiety, and chronic fatigue are not personal failures.

They are signals of a nervous system operating beyond its regulatory capacity.


In the age of AI, intelligence is not only cognitive.

It is embodied.

The body is the missing interface for training human performance.

For Organizations & Strategic Partnerships

Modern teams operate under sustained cognitive load: constant meetings, context switching, and decision fatigue.


Body Mind Method™ delivers short, protocolized nervous-system training that helps teams:

• Return to usable focus faster

• Reduce cognitive fatigue

• Improve regulation under pressure

• Stabilize attention across the workday

All inside 15-minute sessions.


Body Mind Method™ integrates alongside existing performance, leadership, or wellness initiatives — adding a practical, embodied layer for training cognitive state.

About THE METHOD
Created by behavioral scientist Yana Nakhimova, Ph.D., Body Mind Method™ is a modular, protocol-based system for training nervous-system regulation through movement.

The method uses short, structured movement sequences to engage sensory-motor learning and neuroplasticity — directly targeting the level where stress responses, attention patterns, and habitual reactions are shaped.

Rather than teaching concepts, Body Mind Method™ trains state: how the nervous system organizes under load, how quickly focus can be restored, and how regulation is maintained during real work.

The work sits at the intersection of neuroscience, behavior change, and embodied intelligence, and has been presented at MIT and BrainMind as part of emerging research on how humans regulate and adapt under sustained cognitive load.

Real-World Impact

Re-Origin partnered with Body Mind Method™ to pilot the Relax Protocol™ with a recovery community experiencing sustained stress and nervous system dysregulation.

Using a structured embodied neuroplasticity protocol, participants trained the ability to downshift stress responses and restore baseline regulation.

Team & Advisors
Yana Nakhimova, Ph.D.
Founder
Behavioral scientist and creator of Body Mind Method™ — a science-based, protocol-driven system for training nervous-system regulation, focus, and adaptability through movement.

Yana designs non-invasive, measurable, movement-based interventions that help people restore usable focus, reduce cognitive fatigue, and operate more effectively under sustained cognitive load.

Recognized by the U.S. government with an EB-1 Extraordinary Ability green card, Yana is building a scalable system for nervous-system training in human performance and mental health.

  • I came in experiencing fatigue and burnout. After working with Body Mind Method™, I experienced greater emotional stability, improved cognitive and physical functioning, and gained practical tools for self-regulation. The effects were distinct from yoga or strength training.
