Bring Body Mind Method™ to your organization or product
Body Mind Method offers movement-based programs for teams and communities, as well as behavioral-science collaboration for organizations developing health, wellbeing, performance, and behavior-change products.
The work can take the form of a single experiential workshop, a multi-session program, or a deeper collaboration around intervention design, participant engagement, implementation, and measurement.

Two Ways to Work Together
Body Mind Method also works with organizations developing health, wellbeing, longevity, behavioral-health, or human-performance offerings.
Yana contributes behavioral-science expertise, intervention design, protocol development, participant-experience strategy, and evaluation thinking to help teams move from an interesting concept to a structured, usable, and measurable program.

Experiential workshops and multi-session programs give participants a direct way to observe tension, attention, effort, and recovery—and practice adjusting their response through structured movement.
Programs can be designed for teams, professional communities, retreats, conferences, educational environments, and member-based organizations.

Organizational Formats
Team Workshop
60–90 minutes
A direct introduction to Body Mind Method for a team or professional community.
Participants explore how movement can make patterns in tension, attention, effort, and response to difficulty more visible. The session includes structured individual or interactive tasks and a guided reflection on possible applications outside the workshop.

Useful for:
- team offsites;
- leadership and founder programs;
- wellbeing initiatives;
- professional-development events;
- retreats and conferences;
- teams encountering sustained cognitive demand.
Focus / Recovery Sprint
Four to six sessions
A short multi-session program for teams that want more than a one-time experience.
Repeated sessions allow participants to become familiar with the practices, identify situations in which they may be useful, and experiment with using them during the workday.

Repeated sessions allow participants to become familiar with the practices, identify situations in which they may be useful, and experiment with using them during the workday.
A program may explore:
- transitions between demanding tasks;
- recovery after meetings or extended screen work;
- recognition of unnecessary muscular effort;
- perceived attentional reset;
- downshifting after sustained activation;
- response to novelty, error, or changing demands;
- development of realistic recovery practices.
Protocol Design and Behavioral Science Advisory
For organizations creating or refining products, programs, and user experiences related to health, wellbeing, recovery, attention, behavior change, or human performance.
The work begins with the organization’s actual problem.

The work begins with the organization’s actual problem.
A collaboration may include:
- clarifying the behavioral or engagement problem;
- identifying the intended mechanism and outcome;
- designing or refining a program;
- participant-experience and adherence strategy;
- implementation planning;
- facilitator or participant materials;
- outcome and measurement selection;
- pre/post reflection or evaluation tools;
- qualitative research and participant feedback;
- evidence-informed messaging;
- pilot design and iterative refinement.
Pilot and Program Evaluation
Organizations with a program may need to understand not only whether participants enjoyed it, but what they used, what changed, where engagement dropped, and whether the experience transferred beyond the session.
Yana can support:
Yana can support:
- evaluation-question development;
- feasibility and process evaluation;
- participant questionnaires;
- interviews and qualitative feedback;
- pre/post measurement;
- engagement and adherence analysis;
- interpretation of participant experience;
- implementation learning;
- recommendations for program refinement.
How a Collaboration Works
- 1. Define the Problem
We begin with the behavior, experience, or implementation challenge the organization is trying to address. - 2. Identify the Intended Outcome
We distinguish among immediate subjective experience, observable behavior, engagement, functional performance, and longer-term transfer. - 3. Select or Design the Format
The solution may be an existing Body Mind Method workshop or protocol, an adapted multi-session program, or a broader behavioral-science engagement. - 4. Deliver and Observe
The program is implemented with attention to participant response, accessibility, context, and delivery quality. - 5. Learn and Refine
Feedback and measurement are used to understand what worked, what did not, and what should change before the next iteration.
What Partners Say
- Rie YanoCo-Creator of Vitalist Bay
Yana helped us feel our bodies again. Her movement sessions weren’t dance or yoga, but something uniquely her own. A moving meditation that reenergized the mind through embodied flow. Everyone left her session lighter, more alive, and with a big smile on their face.
- Nichol BradfordAI+HI Executive
So much respect for how Yana brings science, movement, and real life together. Grateful you shared your brilliance. This work is needed now more than ever.
- Hayley SullivanDirector of Special Projects, BrainMindIt was very high stress and a busy couple of days. Having the body mind practice was so great to connect again with myself and take a moment to turn inwards. It was also so much fun!
