Yoga for ADHD

  • We will work towards a full Hatha yoga class that includes asana (poses), pranayama (breathing techniques), chanting (singing), eye exercises and a deep relaxation (yoga Nidra).

    We go into the class with no expectations but to connect, have fun and relax body and mind!

    However, over time the practices can have a very profound and deep effect on all the body's systems and the emotions.

  • However the person with ADHD is presenting, yoga can help with common issues such as difficulties with focus and concentration, and high energy.

    Like typical people in modern society, people with ADHD often spend more time indoors, when they have energy to let loose! Yoga is a chance to work off that energy, practice present moment awareness and following that to calm the body’s systems down.

    Getting to know our breath is often the first step, and allows us to calm the nervous system and improve digestion.

  • The yoga method we practice is gentle and designed to connect with every child.

    Children with ADHD usually love the practice, as they are able to come as themselves, work off energy and build confidence in their ability to learn new things.

    If a child is breathing erratically, which impacts them a lot, yoga can help s lot :)

    Irena, Tottenham

  • I came to do some stretching and found the class was very relaxed, very accessible and joyful! The way we moved through the poses it felt very effortless, the hour was over just like that. There wasn't a moment where I was thinking, I can't do this, or I don't want to.
