Mansi Maheta is a molecular neurobiologist, yoga and mindfulness teacher, and the creator of Brain–Body Movement (BBM). A researcher turned into a full-time somatic guide, she bridges the gap between neuroscience and the lived, physical experience of the human body.
Diagnosed with severe spinal tuberculosis at the age of 14, Mansi spent over a decade navigating chronic pain, severe physical limitation, and anxiety. After realizing that focusing on symptoms alone was not enough to heal a body locked in chronic survival mode, she turned to her academic knowledge. Alongside neuroscience, she developed a personal interest in studying the Vedas, classical yogic philosophy, and Buddhist teachings—exploring questions of awareness, suffering, identity, and our relationship with experience. Over time, these seemingly different worlds began to converge.
This Neuro-somatic approach not only helped Mansi, but it also helped many who struggled with chronic pain and past trauma or nervous system dysregulation. Mansi is the author of “The Innocent Body: Decoding Trauma, Rethinking Modern Yoga, and The Neuro-Somatic Path Beyond Survival”.
Today, Mansi teaches internationally through private sessions, classes, workshops, and offers the brain and nervous system education to professionals, yoga teachers and therapists.
