Yoga for Neurodivergent Brains & Bodies, with Kate Lynch | The Neurocuriosity Club

Today I'm doing my FIRST EVER KZbin interview! Sorry the view keeps switching between us instead of showing us both, it's my first time recording video for an interview, and I didn't know how to change that setting 🙃
Anyway! Today I'm talking to Kate Lynch of Healthy Happy Yoga, and she's a yoga instructor who works primarily with neurodivergent folks! We talk about what kind of yoga is best for different types of neurodivergent minds, and how to be consistent about your yoga practice if you have ADHD.
Kate is one of the incredible members of the upcoming FREE bundle, the Not a Broken Neurotypical Bundle, which will go live May 20th and be available until May 26th.
She's contributing SIX (yes, six!) yoga classes that you can get totally free through the bundle.

I never liked Yoga until I developed a home Yoga practice. It has been the best thing I've ever found to help me drop self judgment, but it took a while to reach that point. Diagnosed ADHDer here, suspected AuDHD. Editing to add, I developed consistency by having an accountability buddy I didn't want to let down, and then eventually got to the point my body demanded daily practice, even if it's sometimes only a 10-20 minute session. I feel so much better after it's hard to imagine not doing it now.

That’s brilliant! Home practice for 10-20 minutes more often is way more beneficial for your brain than an hour once a week. And yes, accountability buddies or a group are such lovely ways to create the appropriate support to stay consistent. ❤❤❤

I find I like Yin yoga because it takes me time to register where my body is and feel my way into position/alignment. I need to get into what seems close to the position and then be able to stretch and wiggle and breathe through my whole body to get everything to connect and release together. I'm so tensed up and disconnected from my body it's like the gears need to all work loose and click into place individually and intuitively before the whole machine fits together and runs fully connected. But it's also a trauma release so it can be really overwhelming and exhausting, so it's hard to motivate to get on the floor knowing there's even odds of feeling amazing and sobbing by the end.

This makes so much sense! I love yin for similar reasons. I can feel the meridians. And I actually love the emotional release 😂 but I do get that it can be a lot, especially if you don’t know what’s going to come up.

I feel like kundalini is like ritualistic stimming...

Relatable! I don’t do it anymore but it was a fast track to nervous system regulation.
