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.

"Autistic (and ADHD) people often experience physical health problems in addition to their neurodivergent traits. These can include gastrointestinal problems, seizures, connective tissue disorders, autonomic dysregulation, and sleep disturbances."
