Thanks Deborah for stopping by to comment!

I am sticking with the yoga...it is definitely helping me to relax. It is so hard to stop my mind from racing. So the yoga is good for me. I have a tai chi DVD I want to try as well.

Are there any specific kinds of yoga that could benefit an ADHD adult? I have tried Vinyasa and struggled to stay in positions long enough and felt like time was moving so slowly.

2)Bhakti yoga: The yoga of devotion.

3)Jnana yoga: The yoga of knowledge.
