Just wondering if any ADDers out there have tried or are doing yoga exercises....

Are you able to stay focused?

Benefits of it?

Challenges?

Feedback of all types would be appreciated. If there's already a thread on this topic and I've missed it, please let me know that, too. Merci beaucoups! :)

Not yoga, but related:
My son was in Tae Kwon Do for a couple of years, until we couldn't afford to put him in there anymore. The teacher, Master Song, had a reputation for taking unruly kids and making them manageable, so we put his legend to the test. (This is before I knew me or my son had ADD).

One of the things he did as part of the martial arts training was meditation, every session.

Because of this meditation training, my son can often calm himself and focus on something at will... when he wants to.

The trick is convincing him that he wants to. :D :D :D
