Bonus: Embodied Regulation: Why ND Brains Need Body-Based Tools

In this special bonus episode, Shannon shares an exciting milestone — the official approval of her thesis project for her 1000-hour Yoga Medicine Therapeutic Specialist certification:

Yoga for Neurodiversity: Integrative Tools for Focus, Regulation, and Resilience.

She takes listeners behind the scenes of her upcoming research exploring how body-based yoga therapy practices can support attention, regulation, and resilience in neurodivergent adults.

You’ll learn why most self-regulation strategies miss the mark for ND nervous systems — and how reconnecting with the body can create a bridge between knowing what helps and actually feeling supported.

🧠 You’ll Learn

• Why mind-based regulation strategies often fail for neurodivergent nervous systems
• How the body–brain gap impacts focus, energy, and emotional balance
• What embodied regulation really means — and why it’s key to sustainable self-support
• A preview of Shannon’s thesis study: modalities, participants, and research goals
• How you can get involved — from full participation to following the journey
