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.
- Misconceptions about meditation that might prevent you from receiving the benefits of practice.
- Different types of meditation and how they train different types of focus.
