Benefits of Mindfulness for Neurodivergent Children
This week, we’re honored to feature a thoughtful guest post by Breezy Ocaña Flaquer—an astrophysicist, longtime yoga practitioner, and educator—who beautifully explores the powerful connection between mindfulness and neurodivergent learning. With insights drawn from both research and personal experience, Breezy highlights how mindfulness practices can support attention, emotional regulation, and social connection in children with ADHD and autism. A must-read for parents, educators, and anyone curious about how movement, breath, and presence can create space for every child to thrive.
