YOGA FOR AUTISTIC ADULTS 🧠 🧘🏾‍♂️ ✌️ (Relief from Sensory Overwhelm and Overstimulation)

People on the spectrum often find themselves *overthinking*. The way we process information through our senses can be overwhelming and add extra work to our already overworked brain. But there is hope! Mindful practices like yoga can help us de-stress, refocus our wandering thoughts, and find a sense of calm and ease.
This is a two part video. The first part focuses on the specifics of how yoga can benefit people on the spectrum by stimulating our Parasympathetic Nervous System. The second part is a 30-minute yoga practice that’s accessible for all skill levels, even beginners! And there’s no sweating involved, promise.

I'm Tay, a married mom of 2 who was diagnosed with Autism at 31 years old. This was after YEARS of therapy (and all of the self tests in the world!). My diagnosis has brought up questions, frustration, doubt, but most importantly, a new level of self compassion and understanding.
I'm here to share knowledge, resources, and products that empower other neurodivergents (and their loved ones) to live freely and creatively. I'm not a doctor so please speak with your healthcare providers before implementing any recommendations I make on my channel.
It's good for my brain to spend less time on social media, so you won't find me on Facebook or Instagram. But I'd love to chat with you in the comments! Or you can find my email address in the "Details" section of my About page.
