Body Mindfulness - a system that operates 24/7
The body is not a problem to be solved.
It is a system to be understood.
Our impact in numbers
Real bodies, not theory. Ilona has spent thirty years studying how the body breaks down and how to rebuild it.
Post-rehabilitation, post-injury, and people SIMPLY TIRED OF ALWAYS BEING IN PAIN.
People who have chosen structural correction over another uncomfortable morning. Join them.
Short, focused practices you can start today — from four minutes upward.

"Phone neck" and posture
“Neck, shoulders, upper back — constant tension from screens and sitting.”

Breathing and the nervous system
“I feel tension in my chest; it's hard to relax, and my breathing is shallow.”

Movement without pressure
“I want to move every day, but without the gym, without a workout plan, and without ‘goals'.”

Self-assessment · restorative sleep
Beyond Hours: The Real Sleep Test
Six questions on what your body does during the seven to nine hours it spends lying down — and whether those hours are restoring you or quietly working against you.
What does your body really want?
Five short steps: a self-evaluation, what waiting costs, how your body's systems connect, how Body Mindfulness differs from the gym, and where to start. About four minutes. No email, no diagnosis.

Every night in a poor position adds to the strain your neck already carries. The good news: the body responds to daily practice.
Five to twenty minutes a day is where it starts.

Testimonials
Experiences of those who listened to their bodies
You won't know until you try. And I'd recommend trying it specifically with Ilona, because she is a true professional. I've been exercising with her for seven years. It strengthens the body and solves its problem.
Rastislav Dluhy
Priest, long-time practitioner
7 years of training
I've been training with Ilona for 5 years. It's a wonderful place for both body and soul. With her constant support and motivation, I feel younger, healthier, and more active. I recommend it without reservation.
Dr. Lina Šulcienė
Associate professor of philosophy at Vytautas Magnus University
5 years of training · I feel healthier and more active, and my sleep has become deeper and more restful.
I’ve been working out with Ilona on and off since 2009, and I’m convinced that if it weren’t for these workouts—which began with the Pilates method and evolved into deep muscle training with integrated strength, stabilization, aerodynamic exercises—I’d probably be visiting doctors now, like so many others who spend long hours sitting at a computer, suffering from back, spine, or neck pain. This is a form of exercise that allows you to get to know yourself better, while also relying on Ilona’s expertise to correct any improper postures or movements. I highly recommend it!

I’ve been attending one-on-one exercise sessions with Ilona for four years now. I came to her with joint and back pain. After six months of training, the pain subsided, and I felt good again. I really appreciate the variety of exercises, the warm and friendly interaction, and the professional instruction. I highly recommend her!!!
Daiva Dirmeikienė
4 years of one-to-one sessions. I really appreciate the variety of exercises, the warm and friendly interaction, and the professional instruction.
It’s wonderful that Ilona found the time to create an online group and share her pearls of knowledge. Life keeps pushing us toward a more active lifestyle, but often you only start moving when you experience some kind of turning point. When I was diagnosed with cancer, it felt like I wouldn’t have the strength for anything anymore. But here’s the paradox: when I started exercising, even with very little energy, I felt a huge surge of strength and tolerated chemotherapy much better—I had more energy. And now I continue Ilona’s lessons, and my doctor, Dr. Juodzbalienė, really motivates me to do so. I’m even considering forming a support group for people in similar situations. Patients with advanced cancer especially need good motivation and moral support. And Ilona has a wonderful spirit of faith and a treasure trove of knowledge and experience, which she generously shares. Thank to her ❤

I've had more than one health problem — a spinal disc herniation, a heart attack, polymyalgia. You'd think I'd just fall apart. But I'm living — living a full life. What helped? You won't believe it: exercise. Exercise, and its trainer and philosopher, Ilona! You'd never guess on the street how many hardships have weighed on my shoulders.

But I'm living — living a full life.
I've been coming to the Body Mindfulness classes for 8 years. A great place for body and soul. In that time, I've lost almost 20 kg. With the trainer's constant help and motivation, I feel younger, healthier, and more active. Only the best recommendations.
Vitalija Jaugelaviciene
It’s a great place for both body and soul. I’ve lost almost 20 kg.
The word “mindfulness” entered my daily life after I was in an accident. For a long time after my rehabilitation, climbing stairs was painful. I discovered Ilona’s exercises more than a year ago. Now I can climb to my fifth-floor apartment quickly, without pain. I’ve started paying closer attention to my body and its sensations; I constantly remind myself to “keep my head up,” and I feel stronger and straighter—I’ve even grown 2 cm taller. Thank you, Ilona!
Milda Lukoševičienė
"Thank you, Ilona! “Now I can climb to my fifth floor quickly and without pain.”
You won't know until you try! And I recommend trying it with Ilona, because she is very professional. I've been exercising with her for 13 years! This exercise strengthens the body and addresses its problems, but after a while you realise it also changes your thinking and your approach to problems. I hope you'll give it a try!

13 years with Ilona. “After a while you realise it also changes your thinking and your approach to problems.”
I am an elderly woman who experienced severe back pain in the lower back area seven years ago. Because of the pain, I couldn’t sit; I could only stand or lie down. After examining me, the doctor at the pain clinic introduced me to spinal stretching exercises and advised me to strengthen my back muscles. Fortunately, I joined trainer Ilona Navickienė’s beginner’s group. From the trainer, I learned how important it is to coordinate movement with breathing to avoid side effects. During the workouts, I was introduced to the deep muscle groups and the effect of each exercise on specific muscles and the skeletal system, and I was also taught to become more aware of my body. During this time, my posture and gait have improved. I still attend the sessions and am very grateful to Coach Ilona and her teaching methods; for seven years now, I haven’t had to see a doctor for back pain.

FAQ
What you are most likely asking right now
What is Body Mindfulness, and how is it different from yoga or Pilates?
Body Mindfulness is the conscious cooperation of the mind and body during any physical action — attention to how you sit, move, breathe, and rest — rather than a workout or a set of poses.
It's the method Ilona Navickienė has developed over more than thirty years of working with people, built on five rules: want, discover, understand, do, enjoy. Yoga and Pilates are valuable movement practices; Body Mindfulness focuses on understanding why your body feels the way it does, so the habits of your whole day change.
It isn't a sport, and it isn't a substitute for medical care.

Which courses are available, and how much do they cost?
Two structured online courses: My Body Map — 5 Rules for a Healthier and Happier Life (4 weeks, €178) and Restorative Sleep (3 weeks, €139).
There are also short practical videos of 3–40 minutes on single topics, several of them free. Every course includes lifetime access and a 30-day money-back guarantee.
→ Read more: See all courses
Are the courses suitable for beginners?
Yes — the courses are designed so you can start from scratch, with no prior experience.
Ilona explains every step from the point of view of anatomy and physiology, so you understand what you're doing rather than just copying it.
→ Read more: See all courses
How much time do the courses take?
About 15–20 minutes a day for the structured courses; the short practical videos run from 3 to 40 minutes.
Some practices can be done at your desk or before bed, so they fit into the day rather than needing extra time set aside.
→ Read more: See all courses
Can I take the courses if I have neck or back pain or a health condition?
Usually yes — the practices are gentle, built on breathing and slow movement — but speak to your doctor first if you have acute pain or inflammation, a recent operation or injury, or numbness or weakness.
Go at a mindful pace and listen to your body. If an exercise causes pain, stop.
→ Read more: Body Mindfulness vs traditional fitness
Do the courses replace a doctor or physiotherapy?
No — the courses complement physiotherapy, medical care, yoga and sport, but they don't replace them.
They teach awareness and habits for the hours you're awake. Always consult a specialist about health problems.
→ Read more: Neck pain relief vs correction
Do I need the Kit™ to take the courses?
No — the courses work on their own, and so does the Kit™; together they cover different hours of the day.
The courses teach the principles for the time you're awake; the Kit™ supports your neck while you sleep. Many people start with a course and add the Kit™ later.
→ Read more: How does Mind Your Sleep work?
Are the courses available in English?
Not yet — all courses are currently taught in Lithuanian, and English programmes are in preparation.

What is the course guarantee, and how long do I have access?
Every course has a 30-day money-back guarantee, and once you join you have lifetime access to the lectures and exercises on any device.
If a course isn't right for you, request a refund within 30 days of purchase. This is separate from the 90-night adaptation guarantee, which covers the physical tools.
→ Read more: 30-day course guarantee
Who leads the course?
Ilona Navickiene leads the courses. She is a Lithuanian public health expert, body mindfulness specialist, and rehabilitation consultant. She is the founder of Mind Your Sleep by Unusually Usual® and the creator of the Body Mindfulness LT method.
