No yoga experience needed. Taught by a longtime practitioner with ADHD and co-created with a neurodiversity-specialized psychologist.
T.J. Maher | Yoga Teacher (ERYT500) and Yoga School (RYS200) w/ Yoga Alliance
Hi, I’m T.J.—a neurodivergent dad, long-time yin yogi & Buddhist, super comic & sci-fi geek, former NYC Art Teacher and yoga studio manager who’s spent the last two decades turning nervous system curiosity into embodied practice.
I bring together Zen, Taoist energetics, nervous system science, and artistic play to create trainings that are gentle, immersive, and deeply human.
I have a 2 year old daughter who I think has adopted me as her spiritual pupil (🤔 🐉 🤷♀️), and a goddess partner who if I’m being honest I’ll never be able to summarize in words (😻 ✨ 🦋).
PhD Clinical Psychologist | Neurodivergence Assessment & Diagnosis
This training is co-shaped with insight and support from my partner, Dr. Neus Abrines — a PhD clinical psychologist who specializes in neurodivergence assessment and diagnosis.
She brings years of academic, clinical, and real-world expertise to the table — and, more importantly, deep compassion for the diverse minds behind every diagnosis.
Together, we’ve crafted this program to reflect both lived experience and professional understanding — blending practice and science into something meaningful, inclusive, and lasting.
Our Journey To Create The Perfect Sidequest For All Brains
This training grew out of years of exploring how practice could feel softer, kinder, and more sustainable for all kinds of nervous systems.
I was diagnosed with ADHD in my 40s, after a lifetime of intuitively regulating through creative obsession, sensory rituals, and movement.

More Than Just A Holiday
⚡️ Neurodiversity & Yin Yoga
This is an expansion of a popular Yin Yoga training already taught in over 20 countries and trusted by yoga studios and therapists worldwide.
I’ve trained students in yoga studios, retreats, and centers across the US, Europe & Asia.
This program is the evolution of everything I’ve taught.
The intersection of neurodiversity + yin yoga + meditation is fertile ground.
Neurodiversity isn’t just a diagnosis—it’s a reality of how different brains percieve, feel, and process the world.
Yin Yoga is stretching but on a deeper level it is a nervous system recalibration tool…
It provides us space to pause, listen, and rewire…
It helps us undo the tension patterns that mask our real selves…
It supports neuroplasticity, emotional regulation, and nervous system safety…
This program is being created for the practitioners who want to understand their own minds and bodies more deeply and for the teachers who want to teach with a more refined awareness.
It is a toolkit for softening stress, expanding compassion, and teaching all minds.

Mornings
You wake on the first morning, greeted by the soft light of Mallorca’s mountains. Grabbing your tea, you head to the meditation hall, grounding yourself in the present moment through stillness and breath.
Afterward, you enjoy a locally sourced breakfast, either sharing relaxed conversation with fellow attendees or savoring the quiet solitude of nature.
A bell rings, calling you to your daily Qi Gong masterclass, where you move energy and awaken the body with a new form each day.
Midday
Yin Yoga brings profound relaxation, creating space for deeper reflection. Following lunch, personal time allows you to explore the surrounding landscape, journal, or simply unwind. As the afternoon settles, you gather for a guided group session, with discussions led by a PhD psychologist, exploring how to cultivate meaningful relationships.
Evenings
After dinner you can immerse in spacious calm, with plenty of options for nature walks, meditation or reading nooks. The retreat schedule flows seamlessly, with daily rhythms that guide you inward, while the natural beauty around you supports your outer journey.

In creating this retreat we had very high standards and elements to make it as we envisioned. This means we search every single retreat venue on Majorca…that is not hyperbole, we checked them ALL. None lived up to our vision in our hearts & souls until we were about to decide it wasn’t meant to be we found this venue.
We immediately were taken by its natural setting, its unpretentious, cozy vibe that still felt deliberate in all its decor choices. We booked it straight away knowing that the house and nature surroundings fit our needs but the destiny didn’t end there…
After booking we were researching more to begin planning what we could on the property only to discover there was AN ENTIRE Zendo Meditation Hall onsite we hadn’t even seen. The Universe and the island had spoken, this was the place that we were destined to bring our first collaborative retreat to.
And it is with all of that special magic and searching that we now bring to you a very unique opportunity, reserve your spot right away as accommodation is limited.
