Measurable impact on time-to-focus and cognitive fatigue.


Not fitness.

Not meditation.

Not therapy.

Not a medical device.

A body-based protocol system for cognitive performance.

Used by teams operating under sustained cognitive load
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 organizations are scaling cognitive demands faster than human nervous systems can adapt.


Body Mind Method™ delivers short, protocolized nervous-system training that improves focus, regulation, and adaptability — directly inside the workday.


We partner with innovation-driven companies to deploy:

• 15-minute team protocols

• Custom protocol tracks aligned with organizational goals

• Train-the-trainer and licensed facilitator pathways


Our protocols integrate into existing EAP, wellness, or leadership programs — adding a practical layer of human state training where overload and fragmentation actually emerge.


Body Mind Method™ functions as a nervous-system regulation layer inside leadership, engagement, and development ecosystems.

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.

By combining structured movement with sensory-motor reeducation, the method engages neuroplasticity at the level where stress, attention, and behavioral patterns are actually formed — in the nervous system.

Body Mind Method™ operates at the intersection of neuroscience, behavior change, and embodied intelligence, and has been presented at MIT and BrainMind as part of emerging work 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.

  • 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.
