About Yotism

Yotism was founded by Nicole Zimbler in 2014. It was born from a passion to bring the magic of therapeutic yoga to the neurodiverse community in a way that makes it fully accessible for all needs and abilities. It originated from Nicole’s extensive experience and training and has grown and developed into a well established therapeutic yoga practice that has helped to transform and act as a lifeline to many neurodiverse young people and adults.  

Our training courses have been fine tuned and adapted throughout the years to htamoniously fuse together the science of neurodevlopment, sensory integration and trauma informed processing along with the healing magic of therapeutic yoga. 

What makes NDYT so unique?  Yoga is one of the most profound ancient practices that through accessing breath, movement and mindfulness is knowm to aid our physicall, psychological and spiritual health and well-being. Neurodevelopmental Yoga Therapy takes traditional yoga to another level, infusing it with sensory integration, primitive reflex integration, nervous system regulation, trauma informed practices and body psychotherapy techniques that enable someone to access their SELF in ways they would not have an opportunity to do so otherwise. 

Yotism yoga is designed to be accessible to anyone from those with more profound Autism, ADHD, developmental delay, brain injury or trauma related comditions. Or any age from very young to adult and elderly.
