Hi, I’m Becky (they/she).
I'm on a mission to embrace our neurodiverse universe by sharing the practice of yoga, so we all can know the joy of being our true Self.
Yoga, when presented truthfully, is inherently affirming of all forms of diversity by bringing us into connection with our wholeness, differences and all.
Whether or not you identify as neurodivergent, your nervous system is unique, and your needs deserve to be supported, both on and off the yoga mat!
Wondering if this space is for you?
Here are some of the ways offerings are designed to be welcoming, accessible, and neurodivergent-friendly:
Neurodiversity-affirming facilitation. Differences are celebrated over conformity, and there’s no right or wrong way to think, feel, move, or connect. This is reflected in language, approach, and design.
Small group sizes. Most sessions currently have 6-12 participants, sometimes fewer.
No commitment registration. You’re welcome to register even if you’re not sure you can show up, guilt-free. Sign-ups are unlimited, so you won’t be taking a spot from someone else.
Payment is optional. Pay what you can when you can, no questions asked. It’s always an option to register for free; I want you to come!
Low demand. Come when you can, leave when you must. Cameras on or off, sharing is always optional. Parallel play is encouraged.

What is Yoga for Neurodiversity?
Yoga for Neurodiversity is just yoga. Yoga is inherently neurodiversity-affirming, it’s just not always presented that way. We don't need to reinvent yoga for neurodivergent people; we need help to connect with affirming teachers who can guide us safely along our journey.
Yoga for Neurodiversity is a project Becky started in 2021, shortly after receiving an autism diagnosis at the age of 38 while completing their 200-hour yoga teacher training. Becky was finding it all to be a lot to process, and desired a way to share their experiences as a neurodivergent yoga practitioner with a community of fellow human beings who would understand. This project has been growing and evolving into a community space for neurodivergent yoga practitioners and teachers, and allies invested in our wellbeing, to practice together, learn from one another, and explore the joy of being ourselves through accessible, affirming, peer-led offerings.
Commitment to Ethics & Social Justice
As a yoga facilitator, I believe in putting “Unity in Diversity” into action toward the goal of collective liberation.
I practice the eight limbs of yoga, with a primary focus on ahimsa (non-harm in Sanskrit) through loving kindness and disruption of harm.
I am committed to disrupting harm and oppression in all forms: slavery & genocide; racism; white supremacy & white narcissism; sanism & ableism; ageism; classism; misogyny & sexism; heterosexism, homophobia, & transphobia; fatmisia & fatphobia; antisemitism; Hinduphobia & hatred toward any religious community; xenophobia; etc. (this is not an exhaustive list).
Commitment to ahimsa includes giving and receiving feedback with humility, in service of the greater good, and to promote a safer space for community care and connection, even when it involves great discomfort and personal risk.
I value kind, direct, and necessary communication; I believe that clear is kind.
I seek to be an active learner by listening to, and believing, the experiences of people who are different from me; I actively seek out different perspectives.
I believe in honoring yoga’s roots through consistent gratitude for all teachers of Yoga from South Asia and beyond, past, present, and future. I seek to acknowledge the source of teachings shared, and uplift voices from within Yoga’s source culture.
I believe yoga is meant for all mind-bodies, and all who wish to practice deserve to be welcomed and loved. I am a Neurodiversity Movement proponent, and an Accessible Yoga Ambassador.
