Yoga doesn’t have to look like perfect body control or feel like a completely quiet mind.

This welcoming, exploratory workshop is designed for ADHD nervous systems. Through movement, rhythm, breath, and rest, we’ll get curious about what regulation actually feels like in your body, and what can happen when we let the body lead instead of relying on the thinking mind to figure everything out.

Regulation can feel different from person to person. The intention is to notice your own patterns, build familiarity with what supports you, and begin trusting the cues your body gives you.

You’ll leave with a stronger sense of what helps you move toward regulation, along with familiar practices your body has had a chance to experience and return to, without a prescribed routine or one-size-fits-all approach.

No yoga experience is necessary. Come exactly as you are.

About the instructor:

Jaqs (she/they) is a queer, neurodivergent parent, community-builder, and lifelong lover of animals, nature, and slower rhythms. She cares deeply about creating spaces where people feel less pressure to edit themselves in order to fit. Spaces where people can show up fully as themselves, whether that means quirky, quiet, silly, grieving, joyful, overwhelmed, or anything in between.

After a serious fall left them living with chronic pain and a long recovery, Jaqs’ relationship with her body changed completely. Yoga became one of the first places she experienced the possibility of feeling safe inside her body again. It gave her room to slow down, listen, and begin exploring what it might mean to work with her body rather than against it.

That experience continues to shape the way they think about movement and regulation. Jaqs has become increasingly curious about how differently our nervous systems experience the world, what regulation actually feels like from the inside, and how we might recognize the things that help us feel more present, grounded, or more like ourselves. For Jaqs, yoga is less about achieving a shape and more about creating softness: in the body, in the mind, around pain, and between thoughts. It is a practice of listening, loosening, and learning to come home to yourself with warmth, curiosity, and a promise to stay.

Jaqs approaches this work as an ongoing exploration. They are interested in learning alongside others, sharing what has felt impactful in their own experience, and creating low-pressure opportunities for people to discover what feels supportive, accessible, and genuinely usable for them.

Jaqs is happiest somewhere a little wild, with animals nearby, her wife and son close, and nowhere to rush to. They’re increasingly drawn to the simple pleasures of having enough time and space to wander, notice, think, and simply be, even while negotiating with a brain that is easily delighted and distracted by shiny things. Jaqs loves thoughtful conversations about the small ways we can make the world around us a kinder, more accessible and intentional place, and is excited to be completing her Accessible Yoga Teacher Training this fall.
