Neurodivergent Joy! In-person workshop (Bay View)

Neurodivergent Joy! In-person yoga workshop

Join us for a 90-minute educational and interactive workshop exploring the joy of connection through playful movement and neurodiversity-affirming yoga practices. Facilitated by Becky Aten (they/she).

In a society that isn’t designed with neurodiversity in mind, the practice of yoga can provide an opportunity to celebrate the differences that make us unique, and to openly and authentically express joy within neurodivergent bodies. All brains and bodies deserve to be accepted, understood, cared for, and valued, and when we offer the teachings of yoga in an affirming and inclusive way, all of us can experience the joy of being ourselves.

What to expect:

• An interactive info-dump from the heart about the challenges and joys of being neurodivergent.

• Accessible, affirming, and trauma-aware yoga practices for embracing differences, including options for movement on a mat or in a chair. 

• Opportunities to ask questions, reflect, journal, and share. Sharing is always optional.

• Flexible ways to participate and communicate however you feel most comfortable; stimming and sensory tools like fidgets, plushies, and comfort items are encouraged.

Who this is for: This offering is designed for adults and teens age 14+. All abilities are welcome, and you do not need to identify as neurodivergent to participate- anyone can come! No previous experience with yoga necessary.

When: Thursday, October 8th at 6-7:30 pm
