Mindfulness and the ADHD Brain
Mindfulness Science I'm a skeptic. I like concrete, measurable results, which is why for YEARS after I started yoga, it was still just exercise to me. That was it. Don't talk to me about spirit, meditation, or expanding my consciousness. No thank you! I'll do my sun salutations and go, because I can SEE the results those have on my arms, legs and abdomen, thank you very much!

The Rhythm of Rest
I was SUPER productive today. Like so super productive. I did all the boring stuff.

People generally fall into two camps when it comes to savasana: You love it, or you hate it. And up until recently, I admittedly stood squarely in the "I hate it" camp.

Left and Your Other Left
I am a yoga instructor with ADHD. This occasionally results in a few "oopsie" moments in class when I forget which pose is supposed to come next in the flow, what number of rep we are on, or whether I should be cuing the left or right side.

A Bad Day Can Just Be a Bad Day
If you had a bad day I want to remind you that bad days are just a snapshot in time. I know we LOVE to overthink things, so sometimes when we are having a particularly ADHD-like day, we can get scared. We may start to believe that:
