Neuro-Meditation
Elevate your mind with our private Neuro-Meditation classes:
Where Science Unlocks Inner Stillness.
Let's embark on a profound journey of self-discovery and inner peace with our exclusive Neuro-Meditation classes.
This is a personalized experience where mindful meditation transcends traditional practices, integrating the latest findings from neuroscience and the ancient wisdom of meditation techniques.
Our seasoned meditation instructors, deeply rooted in both the science of the mind and the art of meditation, will guide you through a transformative journey designed to harness the full potential of your neural pathways.
These private sessions incorporate evidence-backed techniques that activate the prefrontal cortex, the seat of executive control in the brain, as supported by studies like Zeidan et al.'s research in "Psychological Science" (2010).
Controlled breathwork, a fundamental component of Neuro-Meditation, engages the autonomic nervous system and promotes parasympathetic activation, leading to profound stress reduction, relaxation, and emotional balance. This process is akin to the ancient practice of pranayama, which regulates the breath and calms the mind.
During our sessions, we explore the power of guided imagery, inspired by studies like Eyre et al.'s work in the "Journal of Alzheimer's Disease" (2016), to nurture neural connectivity and sharpen your mental acuity.
Experience the entrainment of your brainwave states, from the heightened alertness of beta waves to the deep serenity of theta waves, as you delve into deep meditation with our guidance.
Each session is meticulously crafted to address your unique needs, whether it's enhancing concentration, improving emotional well-being, or cultivating deep relaxation through soundscapes and brainwave direction.
BigMind's private Neuro-Meditation classes offer you a transformative union of ancient wisdom and modern science, unlocking your mind's potential, and guiding you toward inner serenity and resilience.
Book your session today, and experience the profound synergy between meditation and neuroscience as you explore the depths of your consciousness, ultimately leading to a more balanced, enlightened self.

Neuro-Yoga Sessions
Unlock your body-mind's full potential with our exclusive private Neuro-Yoga classes, where the art of yoga asanas meets the science of neural enhancement.
This is a personalized journey that fuses ancient yogic wisdom with cutting-edge neuroscience principles, all within the convenience of your home or office.
Our certified instructors, well-versed in both yoga and neuroscience, will guide you through practices designed to stimulate neural plasticity. These sessions leverage the power of specific yoga asanas, such as Downward-Facing Dog to enhance blood flow to the brain, and Tree Pose to activate the cerebellum for improved coordination and spatial awareness.
Mindful asana practice, a cornerstone of Neuro-Yoga, engages your prefrontal cortex, enhancing cognitive function, as validated in studies such as Zeidan et al.'s work published in "Psychological Science" (2010).
Breath regulation through our pranayama techniques activates the parasympathetic nervous system, reducing stress as indicated in Cramer et al.'s meta-analysis in "Psychoneuroendocrinology" (2017).
Each session is meticulously tailored to address your unique goals, whether it's cultivating mental clarity through practices like Warrior II, nurturing emotional balance via Camel Pose, or enhancing neural connectivity through visualization, as purported by the findings in Eyre et al.'s research in the "Journal of Alzheimer's Disease" (2016).
BigMind's private Neuro-Yoga classes, are the perfect blend of science and serenity. Elevate your well-being, harness the benefits of neural plasticity, and embark on a path to a healthier, more balanced, and enlightened self with us.
Book your private session today and embark on a journey of self-discovery and transformation that harmonizes the best of both worlds—yoga asanas and neuroscience.

Neuro-Breath
BigMind's Neuro-Breath program is a series of powerful breathing techniques done in a specific pattern and intensity to promote optimal brain function, enhance neural networks, and bring myriad benefits to everyday life. Here’s a look at a few of the techniques we incorporate and their impacts according to peer reviewed scientific research:
Controlled Deep Breathing:
Activates the parasympathetic nervous system, reduces stress response, enhances the function of the prefrontal cortex improving decision-making, focus, and emotional regulation.
Rhythmic Breathing:
Balances the autonomic nervous system, optimizes oxygen-carbon dioxide exchange, increases brainwave coherence, and improves neural connectivity thus enhancing cognitive performance, emotional stability, sleep quality, and energy levels.
Box Breathing:
Is a simple yet powerful breathing technique that involves inhaling, holding the breath, exhaling, and holding the breath again, all for equal counts. This technique is often used by Navy SEALs to stay calm and focused in high-stress situations. The rhythmic and deep nature of box breathing can optimize the levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood, potentially leading to improved brain function and mental clarity.
Resonant Breathing:
Breathing at a specific resonance frequency, usually around six breaths per minute, which is considered to optimize heart rate variability. Thus stimulating the vagus nerve, promoting relaxation response, enhancing the coherence between cardiovascular, respiratory, and nervous system functioning. This elevates emotional regulation, boosts immune response, reduces inflammation, and improves overall heart health.
Regular practice of Neuro-Breath techniques can foster neural plasticity, enabling the brain to form new neural connections, adapt, and enhance cognitive functions. These techniques further lead to improved oxygenation and blood flow to the brain, optimizing cognitive functions like memory, attention, and processing speed, which are crucial for everyday tasks.
Change your breath, energize your brain and transform your life.
