Yoga Training - Feb 13-26-Ramesh Parmar- Yoga Aasana for ADHD Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder

Session Overview Topic: ADHD, Autism, and Cognitive Health Presenter: Ramesh Parmar Key Content Areas ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder) o Definition: Neurodevelopmental condition affecting brain's energy processing, information management, and executive function (planning, focusing, multitasking, decision-making, impulse control) o Biological Factors: Dopamine and norepinephrine deficiency leads to understimulated brain seeking high-interest, high-urgency tasks o Types:  Predominantly inattentive  Hyperactive/impulsive  Combined presentation o Strengths: Hyper-focus on topics of interest, creative thinking, high energy, incredible productivity Cognitive Health o Four Pillars: Memory, executive function, language/communication, motor function control o Key Difference: ADHD is present from birth; cognitive health maintenance involves preventing age-related decline o Connection: Both share executive function challenges Autism Spectrum Disorder o Characteristics: Different social communication processing, sensory sensitivities (hyper or hyposensitive), need for routine/predictability, intense focused interests o Functioning Levels: Ranges from low-functioning (difficulty following instructions) to high-functioning (normal cognitive abilities with behavioral differences) Recommended Yoga Poses For ADHD & Cognitive Health: 10. Downward Dog (Adho Mukha Svanasana): Mild inversion, increases brain blood flow 11. Eagle Pose (Garudasana): Crossing midline, requires intense focus 12. Tree Pose (Vrikshasana): Balance training, cerebellum activation 13. Plow Pose (Halasana): Thyroid stimulation, hypothalamus blood flow 14. Warrior III (Virabhadrasana III): Total cognitive engagement 15. Legs Up the Wall (Viparita Karani): Stress reduction, cortisol lowering 16. Corpse Pose (Savasana): Mental rest while remaining alert For Autism: 17. Child's Pose (Balasana): Cocoon effect, sensory reduction 18. Plank Pose (Phalakasana): Heavy work for arms/core, grounding 19. Warrior II (Virabhadrasana II): Spatial awareness, strength 20. Cat-Cow Pose (Marjaryasana): Predictable rhythmic movement 21. Happy Baby Pose (Ananda Balasana): Safe, controlled rocking Teaching Methodology Class Structure for ADHD: o Flow-based: Connect breath with movement (one breath, one movement) o Avoid static holds: Keep sequences moving o Use balancing poses: Immediate feedback for wandering attention o Incorporate gaze (Drishti): Fixed point of focus o Include relaxation: Structured rest periods Approach for Autism: o Visual cues: Write sequence on board o Predictability: Maintain same sequence each session o Direct language: Avoid metaphors; use specific instructions (e.g., "expand your belly" vs. "imagine a cloud") o Proprioceptive input: Deep pressure poses, firm contact o Sensory management: Minimize environmental stimuli o Creative engagement: Use animal poses, themes (ocean, nature) Scientific Rationale Brain Benefits: o Inversions/semi-inversions: Deliver oxygen and nutrients to brain o Crossing midline poses: Create new neural pathways (neuroplasticity) o Balance poses: Stimulate brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) protein o Stress reduction: Lower cortisol levels protecting hippocampus (memory center)
