Yoga for Neurodiversity: The Self Paced Path

A 1000-Hour Yoga Therapy Thesis Project with Shannon Reilly

Rebuild Focus, Rest, and Regulation — Your Way

You’ve tried to “calm down” with your mind, but your body had other plans.

This is for the moments when stillness feels unsafe, routines don’t stick, and you need something that meets you where you are.

Yoga for Neurodiversity is a research-informed self-paced program designed by Shannon Reilly, CPO®, E-RYT500, Yoga Medicine Therapeutic Specialist (in training).

It blends yoga therapy, neuroscience, and neurodiversity-affirming practices to help you build tools for focus, rest, and resilience — without forcing yourself to fit into anyone else’s system.

Choose Your Self-Paced Pathway

Both options give you lifetime access, ND-friendly lessons, and optional participation in Shannon’s Yoga for Neurodiversity research project.

Start where you are, or dive deeper — either way, you’ll learn to work with your nervous system, not against it.

Option 1: Regulation Starter Path

3-Week Self-Paced Program

One small tool each week — learn, try, reflect.

You’ll get:

  • 3 short video lessons (8–12 min each)
