Our Story

Yoga sessions designed for neurodivergent adults can be tailored to address their unique needs and promote physical and social skills.

Here’s a description of such sessions:

​

1. Inclusive Environment: The sessions create an inclusive and non-judgmental space where participants of all abilities are welcome. This helps build a sense of belonging and acceptance.

​

2. Adapted Asanas: Yoga poses are modified to accommodate various physical abilities and sensitivities. Props like blocks and straps may be used to assist with poses, making them accessible to all.

​

3. Mindfulness and Self-Regulation: Incorporating mindfulness practices can help individuals with neurodivergence develop self-regulation skills. Deep breathing exercises and meditation can be useful in this regard.

​

4. Sensory Integration: Some neurodivergent individuals have sensory sensitivities. Yoga sessions can incorporate sensory integration techniques to help participants become more comfortable with various sensations.

 

5. Social Interaction: Group activities and partner poses can encourage social interaction and communication. These activities can be structured to promote collaboration and teamwork.

 

6. Visual Schedules: Visual schedules or cues can be used to help participants understand the structure of the session and what to expect, reducing anxiety and promoting a sense of control.

​

7. Clear Communication: Instructors should use clear and concise language to provide instructions and support, ensuring that everyone can follow along.

​

8. Progressive Goals: Encourage participants to set and work towards personal goals, whether physical or social, to foster a sense of achievement and motivation.

​

9. Feedback and Reflection: Regular opportunities for feedback and reflection can help participants express their needs and preferences, contributing to a more inclusive and adaptive program.

​

10. Community Building: Organize social events or gatherings outside of regular sessions to further develop social connections and a sense of community.

 

Yoga for neurodivergent adults can offer physical benefits like improved flexibility and strength while also providing a supportive environment for social skill development and enhanced overall well-being.
