Yoga support for ADHD
A structured sequence that alternates active and settling movements, giving the body a clear rhythm and an achievable finishing point.
About this resource
People with ADHD may prefer movement, music, visual prompts or shorter holds. The sequence is flexible: repeat energising poses or move directly to rest when needed. The infographic offers eight accessible positions that may be completed as a sequence or chosen individually. There is no requirement to hold a posture for a set time; comfort, breathing and personal choice come first.
How to use it
· Choose a quiet, safe space and gather any cushions, blankets or a chair you may need.
· Begin with one or two positions and build only if the practice feels supportive.
· Breathe naturally; never hold the breath or force a stretch.
· Use the guide as a prompt, not a test. Skip or adapt any position.
Included positions
Mountain pose, Shake and pause, Half sun flow, Warrior II, Balance pose, Forward fold, Knees to chest, Resting pose.
Important safety note
This resource is for general education and wellbeing. It does not diagnose, treat or cure any condition. Stop if you feel pain, dizziness, numbness, unusual shortness of breath or feel unwell. Seek individual advice if you have a medical condition, recent surgery or injury, are pregnant, or are unsure whether a movement is appropriate.
Until next time, give yourself space to breathe.
With love, Maggie
