Hero — The Biology of Body Awareness
Section titled “Hero — The Biology of Body Awareness”
Asia Shcherbakova had the pleasure of being featured on the newest episode of Matan Levkowich’s podcast Material for the Brain.
In the conversation they talked about her recovery from epilepsy through dance and how her background as a biologist affected the way she approached it.
The discussion also explored how individual stories and ideas affect a pedagogical approach and actual experiences in movement.
The topic of body awareness was also touched on relating to how different modalities used come together and how it reveals differences in our understanding of the topic.
Asia holds a Master of Science in Human Genetics and a PhD in Biotechnology. She has been involved in projects related to the effects of stress on learning and memory and currently she is studying the pro-cognitive effects of medium-chain triglycerides.
Beside her scientific research, she is a co-developer of the Baseworks Method focusing on understanding the function of brain areas that participate in both movement and cognitive tasks and the crossover between language and movement.

First newsletter after a long hiatus (Estonia address still in the footer). References the public practice.baseworks.com URL directly — pre-dates the current rule to route externally via baseworks.com/practice/. “Physical Intelligence” is referenced as a dedicated page on the old site; this framing has since shifted (now b-roll, not hero). The Matan Levkowich podcast and HCM interview would make good candidates for future podcast/press index entries if those indexes get built.
