I sat down today to restart my yoga nidra teacher training after accidentally abandoning it for a while because… ADHD + peri 😆
20 minutes into the training I thought,
“I’ll just do a quick yoga ........I woke up an hour later 🤣
But honestly? This is exactly why yoga nidra has become essential for me.
As someone navigating ADHD, chronic stress, nervous system overwhelm, hormones, business building and being a human in 2026… yoga nidra has genuinely become one of my most important regulation tools.
When I was doing it consistently, I practised 2–3 times a day.
Now if I go more than a day without it, I REALLY feel the difference.
The brain fog gets louder.
The overwhelm gets heavier.
Everything starts feeling like it’s happening at me instead of flowing through me.
Yoga nidra helps me:
✨ regulate my nervous system
✨ calm the constant mental tabs open in my brain
✨ reduce emotional overwhelm
✨ improve sleep and energy
✨ soften anxiety and stress responses
✨ reconnect with my body safely
✨ rest without guilt (still learning this one 😅)
And for neurodivergent women, especially those navigating ADHD, burnout, perimenopause, chronic stress or exhaustion… that kind of deep rest and regulation matters more than most people realise.
Rest isn’t lazy.
Sometimes it’s the most productive thing your nervous system can receive.
Also… huge appreciation to my wonderful Ally Boothroyd who bought this amazing gift into my life!
Anyone else find they don’t realise HOW dysregulated they’ve become until they finally slow down?....
