Yoga for Neurodiversity: Regulation, Resilience & Relief

A 1000-Hour Yoga Therapy Thesis Project with Shannon Reilly

Explore gentle, evidence-informed yoga therapy designed for neurodivergent nervous systems.

This project is part of my Yoga Medicine Therapeutic Specialist (1000-hour) thesis, exploring how yoga and myofascial release (MFR) can support focus, rest, and regulation for neurodivergent adults. Sessions are trauma-sensitive, adaptive, and paced for consent and comfort.
