If you’ve ever tried to “push through” distraction or force yourself to focus—only to end up more drained—this episode is for you.
Focus isn’t about gritting your teeth or powering through resistance. In fact, for neurodivergent brains, that approach often backfires. Instead, yoga offers gentle, body-based tools to help you shift your energy, create conditions for focus, and find clarity—without the pressure.
