Attention and focus play a vital role in yoga teaching and practice – but they are increasingly scarce resources in today’s world. Whether or not you’ve been diagnosed with ADHD, your ability to pay attention and focus falls somewhere on a spectrum. If you get distracted easily or need help prioritizing, meditation and simple changes in your environment can help.

  • The difference between attention and focus
  • ADHD as a spectrum plus why I think the condition is over-represented among yoga teachers.
