Hi, I’m Tonya.

I’m a yoga teacher and guide with over 25 years of personal practice, focused on nervous system support for neurodivergent adults.

I created Neurodivergent Yoga because I was searching for support that actually helped with sleep, overwhelm, and the strain of trying to keep up with daily life.

Along the way I met many other neurodivergent adults looking for the same thing.

My Approach

Most yoga people encounter is centered on poses and routines.

The work I teach focuses more on:

• nervous system education
• breath practices
• finding your personal rhythm and routines
• short practices that fit into daily life

Yoga becomes something you can use every day, not another task to manage.

Why This Work Matters

Many neurodivergent adults spend years trying to force themselves into systems that do not fit how their nervous systems function.

This work takes a different approach.

Instead of pushing through exhaustion or trying to maintain perfect routines, we pay attention to what your nervous system is doing and respond to that.

The goal is steadier energy, clearer focus, and a more sustainable relationship with yourself.

Experience & Training

I bring a long personal relationship with yoga into this work, alongside professional training in yoga, mindfulness, and nervous system–informed support.

My work focuses on supporting neurodivergent adults around sleep, overwhelm, energy limits, and daily-life regulation. This approach has developed through a combination of lived experience, formal study, and ongoing work with people whose nervous systems do not fit one-size-fits-all wellness models.

My training includes:

  • Certified yoga teacher | Yoga Alliance E-RYT® 500, YACEP®

  • Neurodiversity-affirming life coaching and education

  • Mindfulness and meditation training

  • Holistic wellness and nervous system–focused study

  • Certified Holistic Nutritionist specializing plant-based eating and Ayurveda

  • Masters Degree in Humanities studies

  • I work primarily with neurodivergent women and take a practical and simple approach to yoga and wellness.

I believe support should meet people where they are, not ask them to push past their limits.

My teaching motto is always, You Are The Boss Of Your Own Body!
