Neurodivergent Adults May Benefit from Yoga Nidra, or Non-Sleep Deep Rest (NSDR)

Yoga Nidra guides individuals into a unique state between wakefulness and slumber, fostering deep calm, stress reduction, and heightened self-awareness. As a mental health therapist specializing in mindfulness and trauma-informed therapy for neurodivergent adults, I've witnessed the remarkable impact of Yoga Nidra, especially for Autistic/ADHDers. This practice not only addresses the physiological aspects of relaxation by balancing the autonomic nervous system but also provides structured, sensory-friendly approaches for autistic individuals and enhances attention-related symptoms for ADHDers.
