RELAX PROTOCOL™
15-minute nervous system reset to release stress, soften the body, and fall asleep calm — through science-based somatic movement
“The movements were so gentle yet effective. The physical release in my joints and the mental calm were immediate and noticeable. The 96% classification accuracy hints at consistent brain changes that align with what I experienced.”
— Mavi Ruiz-Blondet, Ph.D., Neuroscientist
Created by Yana Nakhimova, Ph.D.

A science-based somatic program that retrains your nervous system to release chronic tension, restore calm, and reconnect with your body — through slow floor-based movement.


This practice feels like a deep, internal massage for your nervous system.

You won’t push, stretch, or force anything. Instead, you’ll shift your brain–body patterns of tension from the inside out.

Through precise micro-movements and sensory awareness, the protocol:

  • reduces stress and muscle guarding
  • improves sleep and emotional regulation
  • restores clarity, focus and energy

You don’t need any prior experience — just a surface and 15 minutes.

Designed especially for people who feel tired, overwhelmed or “always on.” If you’ve been carrying stress in your shoulders, neck, back — this method helps your body finally let go.


You’ll feel a change after the very first session.

And the effect compounds each day as your nervous system learns to relax, not react.


This protocol is designed to support wellbeing. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, or replace clinical mental-health or medical care. If you are experiencing significant physical or psychological symptoms, please consult a licensed provider.

Real-world impact
When neuroscientist Mavi Ruiz-Blondet tested the Relax Protocol™ with EEG, a neural network reached 96% accuracy detecting nights when she used the method.

What You’ll Feel
After the very first session
  • noticeable release of hidden tension in the neck, shoulders, back and hips
  • a softer, more spacious feeling inside your body
  • a sense of calm without trying to relax
As the protocol continues
  • your stress response begins to rewire — you stop tightening automatically
  • your body learns a new baseline: relaxed, not guarded
  • sleep becomes deeper & your mind becomes clearer
Over time
  • you recognize tension the moment it appears — before it turns into fatigue or burnout
  • you restore natural balance: grounded, calm, emotionally steady
  • feeling good becomes your default, not an exception

    Slow, gentle floor-based practices that melt stored tension and retrain your nervous system to relax instead of react.

Why It Works
Simple. Powerful. Backed by science.
What the Data Shows
In a pilot study with 28 adults aged 25–70, the Relax Protocol™ demonstrated consistent, measurable benefits:
  • 100% reported reduced tension
Most participants noticed relief in the neck, shoulders, lower back — areas typically linked to chronic stress.

  • 89% felt motivated to continue
They didn’t push themselves — their body wanted more because it felt good.

  • 86% noticed improved body awareness & emotional regulation
Participants reported catching stress earlier and shifting out of it faster.

  • 71% experienced better sleep quality
Not necessarily “more hours,” but deeper rest and easier falling asleep.

Testimonials
  • “I fall asleep faster and wake up less during the night.”

    I’ve become much more aware of unnecessary tension and can release it faster. If before I could stay tense for hours without noticing my posture, now the difference is obvious. I realized how important evening relaxation is — not just mental, but physical as well. Together they work wonders!
    Anna
  • “I felt a hollow lightness — like something that didn’t belong there was finally gone.”

    In my back there was a hollow spot where before I didn’t feel anything. The hollow feeling is a lightness where there used to be something I had forgotten was there. It made a lot of sense — this blind spot idea.
    Lyubomir
  • “Relaxing my body changed my emotional life.”

    I became more aware of how physical tension affects emotional well-being. Moving smoothly and feeling the connection between body and mind is something every person should experience. Realizing that I can control my body is truly empowering.
    Daria
  • “My body finally remembered how not to rush.”

    I’ve realized I spend most of my waking hours in tension. Now I can feel it in real time and release it. Beyond the physical shifts, I’ve started prioritizing well-being over the pressure to constantly do more and faster. This awareness has been life-changing.
    Anastasia
  • “It became a ritual I look forward to.”

    I’ve started observing myself more, releasing tension, and feeling lightness in my body. Taking time with each exercise helps me fully relax, and the effect becomes even stronger.
    Anastasia
  • “The best thing I’ve done for my body and mind.”

    These sessions allow me to feel and sense deeply, without unnecessary tension or distractions. It’s incredibly enjoyable to step out of the chaos and start the day grounded — I truly hope to make this a lasting habit.
