• Overview

  SmartBody SmartMind (SBSM) is a 12-week live online programme created by neuroscientist and somatic practitioner Irene Lyon. With foundations in neuroplasticity, polyvagal theory, somatic experiencing, and Feldenkrais, SBSM is designed to help individuals rewire their nervous systems through embodied practices, education, and community support.

• How It Works

  • 12-week live “nervous system rewire” experience, offered 1–2 times per year.

  • Includes 10 core modules (“Labs”), pre-program “pre-game” videos, and a 5-part Biology of Stress series.

  • Features 36 neurosensory exercises lasting 10–30 minutes each, blending somatic, Feldenkrais, somatic experiencing, and neuroplastic tools.

  • Weekly live training lectures and Q&A sessions, plus four weeks of continued support post-program.

  • Students get lifetime access to all content, including future updates and the related “21 Day Tune-Up” course.

• Worth Knowing

  • SBSM integrates multiple modalities into one curriculum.

  • Content is described as comprehensive but still accessible through varied learning formats.

  • A related self-study course — 21 Day Nervous System Tune-Up — offers a lighter introduction with 9 neurosensory exercises and stress science videos.

  • Many participants start with the Tune-Up before committing to SBSM.

• What People Found Useful

  • Having short, simple daily exercises that add up to noticeable shifts in resilience and calmness (smartbodysmartmind.com).

  • Developing greater self-kindness, improved boundaries, and emotional awareness, rather than chasing a “fix” (smartbodysmartmind.com).

  • Alumni describe SBSM as life-affirming and a programme they wish they had joined sooner (youtube.com, smartbodysmartmind.com).

• Typical Costs

  • SBSM: 12 monthly payments of $197 USD or a one-time payment of $1,997 USD (saves $367).

  • 21 Day Tune-Up: $297 USD, with payment plan options available.

• Discounts + Affordability

  • Lifetime access is included with payment.

  • No subscription model.

  • The Tune-Up serves as a lower-cost introduction.
