About this listen

If you’ve ever walked into a yoga class and thought, “This just isn’t for me,” you’re not alone—especially if you’re neurodivergent. In this episode of Beyond the Checklist, Shannon explores how yoga can become a powerful tool for nervous system regulation when it’s taught in a way that actually works for ND brains.

Whether you’re a neurodivergent student craving a safe, adaptable practice, or a yoga teacher looking to make your classes more inclusive, this conversation offers both validation and practical guidance.

In this episode:

  • Why yoga can be transformative for ND nervous systems
  • Common sensory and social barriers in mainstream yoga spaces
  • What ND-friendly, choice-based, and sensory-aware yoga actually looks like
  • Simple, actionable tips for teachers to better support ND students
  • An invitation to join the upcoming Yoga for Neurodiversity class
