Bonus: Embodied Regulation: Why ND Brains Need Body-Based Tools
Manage episode 516966488 series 3674243
In this special bonus episode, Shannon shares an exciting milestone — the official approval of her thesis project for her 1000-hour Yoga Medicine Therapeutic Specialist certification:
Yoga for Neurodiversity: Integrative Tools for Focus, Regulation, and Resilience.
She takes listeners behind the scenes of her upcoming research exploring how body-based yoga therapy practices can support attention, regulation, and resilience in neurodivergent adults.
You’ll learn why most self-regulation strategies miss the mark for ND nervous systems — and how reconnecting with the body can create a bridge between knowing what helps and actually feeling supported.
🧠 You’ll Learn
- Why mind-based regulation strategies often fail for neurodivergent nervous systems
- How the body–brain gap impacts focus, energy, and emotional balance
- What embodied regulation really means — and why it’s key to sustainable self-support
