Yoga for Focus

About This Video

In this guided yoga video, Rachel leads viewers through a calm, focus-building yoga class.

The class begins with seated breath work using box breathing, a simple breathing pattern that can help with calm and concentration. Rachel then guides viewers through gentle seated movement, sun breaths, side bends, tabletop movement, cat and cow, standing chair pose, warrior one, a lying-down spinal twist, and final relaxation.

Throughout the video, Rachel offers clear instructions, gentle pacing, and options for different bodies, including sitting in a chair, using a cushion, adding padding under the knees, or choosing the version of a pose that feels best.

This video is designed to help viewers slow down, notice their breathing, move with intention, and feel calmer and more focused.

Good For

  • Adults with IDD who enjoy guided yoga, gentle movement, or calming routines.

  • Caregivers looking for a structured video that supports focus, regulation, and body awareness.

  • Adult day programs, home routines, transition times, or quiet movement breaks.

  • Viewers who may feel distracted, busy, restless, or in need of a calmer reset.

  • Anyone who benefits from clear verbal instruction, repetition, and gentle pacing.

How to Use This Video

Use this video when someone needs a calm, structured way to move their body and refocus.

It may be especially helpful before another activity that requires attention, after a busy part of the day, during a quiet morning routine, or as a reset between activities. Viewers can follow along on a yoga mat, from the floor, or from a chair when appropriate.

Before starting, make sure the viewer has enough space to move safely. A yoga mat, cushion, blanket, or chair may be helpful. Rachel gives options throughout the class, so the viewer does not need to do every pose exactly the same way.

Caregivers can watch alongside the viewer, pause when more time is needed, or return to this video regularly as a familiar focus routine. Repetition may help the breathing and movement patterns become easier over time.
