Spectrum Yoga for ADHD

Professional Track Certification

Specialized Training for ADHD-Affirming Yoga Instruction

The Spectrum Yoga for ADHD – Professional Track is a specialized training program for yoga teachers and movement professionals who want to work effectively, respectfully, and realistically with individuals with ADHD.

This course is not about calming people down or enforcing stillness.
It is about understanding attention regulation, impulse variability, dopamine dynamics, and nervous system activation, and adapting yoga to support engagement rather than suppression.

Graduates of this program are trained to design classes that work with ADHD traits instead of against them.

Who This Training Is For

This professional track is designed for:

  • Certified yoga teachers
  • Movement and somatic practitioners
  • Fitness and wellness professionals
  • Coaches and group facilitators
  • Professionals working with neurodivergent populations

You do not need to have ADHD to take this training.
You do need a practical, non-judgmental approach to teaching.
