It is estimated that 1 in 5 people around the world are neurodivergent. Neurodiversity is a framework for understanding variation in human cognition and the variety of ways the brain processes information. Neurodiversity can also include people with mental health challenges. In fact, almost 50% of adults will be diagnosed with a mental health challenge during their lives.
In this series, we hope to highlight and celebrate neurodiversity as yet another important example of human diversity and expansiveness and reflect on the intersection of neurodiversity and yoga.
As yoga teachers and practitioners, it’s important to consider the ways that yoga can support neurodivergent folks. This series is designed to broaden awareness and share tools for making yoga classes and spaces more accessible, welcoming, and inclusive for neurodiverse folks, and support neurodiverse practitioners and teachers in their own yoga practice and life.
Through sharing neuro-inclusive yoga practices, community building, education, and resource sharing, we’ll explore how to create welcoming and inclusive yoga environments.
Please note - enrollment in this on-demand workshop series is non-refundable.
