This is a lovely, accessible book rooted in Ayurveda (yoga’s sister science). It’s full of sensory care tips: think warm oils, daily rituals, and seasonal routines that bring you back to yourself.
-
This book builds on the idea that we have more than five senses. It comes from a Waldorf perspective and helps you think about perception, embodiment, and connection in a really fresh way.
-
Written by someone who’s neurodivergent herself, this book completely shifted how I understand autism. It offers an alternative lens on the nervous system and practical ways to support both yourself and others.
I also have a video with exercises based on this book, using the Mindful Kids card deck.
-
This is an older book, and you’ll notice some outdated language here and there. But the heart of it is beautiful. It introduces “curative education,” which is a social therapy approach used in Waldorf schools. A thoughtful look at supporting kids with diverse needs.
-
This guide is a great intro to yoga’s ethical principles and how they show up in everyday life. It’s about self-awareness, kindness, and living in alignment, not just for yoga teachers but for anyone.
-
A more traditional text, but if you’re into philosophy or spiritual psychology, it’s a rich one. It explores the nature of the mind and how to find peace within it.

I use these cards all the time. Originally designed for kids, I’ve adapted them for neurodiverse learners, and they’re amazing for grounding, breathing, and emotional check-ins. You don’t need any extra training, you already have what you need to use them.
-
A sweet picture book that introduces movement, breath, and imagination through yoga. Great for younger kids and beautifully illustrated.
-
