The DOSE Code — decoded by science, unlocked through practice
Your body already knows how to feel good. It just needs the right trigger. In this 45-minute session, Rakshita Chauhan and Shashank break down the science of your four happy hormones — Dopamine, Oxytocin, Serotonin, and Endorphins — and guide you through evidence-based practices that release each one naturally. No supplements. No jargon. Just your body doing what it was built to do.
Most people are chasing good moods from the outside. The coffee. The scroll. The little dopamine hit that lasts ten minutes.
What almost nobody teaches you is that your own body can produce all four of the chemicals that make you feel motivated, connected, calm, and alive — through specific movements, breathing patterns, and practices that science has understood for decades. This workshop is an hour to learn how they work and feel them release in real time.
Feeling good is not a personality trait. It is a biological process you can learn to activate.
DOSE stands for the four chemicals your brain produces that directly control how you feel. Most people have heard of them. Almost nobody knows how to actually trigger them.
Released in your midbrain and sent to your brain's reward centre, dopamine fires when you complete a task, experience novelty, or move with purpose. Low dopamine shows up as procrastination, low motivation, and a flat, uninspired feeling.
Produced in the hypothalamus and released through touch, eye contact, and synchronised movement. It reduces cortisol, lowers blood pressure, and makes you feel safe. Low oxytocin shows up as isolation, disconnection, and social anxiety.
Roughly 90% of your serotonin is produced in the gut, not the brain. It travels via the vagus nerve and is directly influenced by posture, sunlight, and how you breathe. Low serotonin shows up as irritability, low self-worth, and poor sleep.
Endogenous opioids that bind to the same receptors as morphine — released by intense breathwork, laughter, and physical exertion. They mask pain, create euphoria, and are one of the most powerful mood-elevators your body makes.
A science-backed sequence that takes you through all four hormones in order. No yoga experience needed. No equipment. Just show up in comfortable clothes and be ready to move, breathe, and laugh a little.
No yoga experience needed. No equipment. Just show up.
This session is not recorded or shared later. Being present, live, in the same practice at the same moment as others — that is part of how oxytocin works.
This is not a yoga class. This is not a meditation app. This is a clinical and embodied workshop — the science decoded by Rakshita Chauhan (NHS Medical Professional, critical care) and the practice led by Shashank (Mind School founder, meditation & breathwork teacher). Delivered to over 40 NHS staff with an average rating of 4.7 out of 5.

This session brings together two teachers — one from the world of clinical medicine, one from the world of meditation and inner wellbeing. Together, they cover the full picture: the science of why you feel what you feel, and the practice of how to change it.
Rakshita has spent over 8 years working in medical and intensive care. Her approach is grounded in anatomy, physiology, and clinical practice. The DOSE framework draws directly from her healthcare background — everything she teaches, she can explain from the inside out.
Shashank has spent over a decade studying meditation, yoga, breathwork, and inner wellbeing — helping thousands of people develop a healthier relationship with their mind through Mind School. In this session he leads the practice side: guiding the movement, breathwork sequences, and integration.
When you join Mind School, this session is one of many live experiences waiting for you — every month, at no extra cost. Here is everything that comes with your membership.
