‘No brain is the same. No brain is best. Each brain finds its own special way.’
- Dr E.M Hallowell, ADHD 2.0

Lack of concentration?
Struggle with Time Management?
Emotional Regulation?
Short Term Memory Like a Goldfish?
Easily distracted?

If you face any of the above challenges or have been diagnosed with ADHD, Yoga can be an effective tool to support you.  Yoga helps your cognitive functions and restless symptoms, while promoting sleep and stress reduction.

ADHD can be both an advantage and a challenge.  This workshop blends a dynamic moving session with discussion and practical insights, ensuring you leave with valuable tips and strategies on how yoga can help support you in managing ADHD symptoms.

This workshop accommodates both beginners and seasoned practitioners of Yoga, as well as anyone who’s restless or previously thought yoga too slow, boring or overly spiritual for themselves.

About the Facilitator: Amelia Bardsley

I started practising & studying yoga in the 1990’s, pregnant with my first kid and working as a commercial lawyer in London. Yoga served as my remedy against the overwhelming demands of motherhood and the corporate world, easing the restlessness of my mind and body.  I transitioned to full-time yoga teaching in 2020, bringing all I’ve learned from my own practise, teacher training and life lessons. With my own experience of having an adult son with ADHD and my own recent ADHD diagnosis, I’m particularly drawn to practices centred around breath management, mindful movement, and self-compassion.
