There are a lot of ADHD adults dealing with hyperactivity. People with ADHD just can't relax the way other people do. I once had a friend tell me she can't stand yoga because having to be still just about gives her an anxiety attack.

Here are a few articles that might help:

How to Relax with Adult ADHD

Deep Breathing Techniques for ADHD Adults

Calming Techniques for ADHD Adults

And don't deny yourself vigorous exercise -- a wonderful treatment for ADHD hyperactivity.

I hope this helps, Dena

I really became interested in this phenomena ADD/ADHD in Adults or Children.., because I noticed that some communities have these symptoms, so I think Is changing culture in rapid pace for certain people will affect them to be ADD/ADHD? and this is will take me to another one, Is there any possibility that Occupation of certain country for long time,with changing Education,Media,Law..etc, that the occupier usually did, is that cause some symptoms of ADD/ADHD for the occupied society?please don't LAUGH at me...just I wondering if that ,may participated to have what so called the 3rd world...!!!

I wish I did have an answer - sometimes I can't keep my mouth from running on full throttle with my brain revving faster and faster! I haven't found a solution yet and it's hard to deal with at times, especially for the listener - no wonder I don't have any friends, I guess...?

As a biofeedback therapist for many years I have worked with hyperactivity in adults. There are ways to reduce the hyperactivity. I agree that starting any class like yoga or meditation will be hard because the class is too long and the instructor is not specific for the needs of ADHD but for the general population. What is needed for hyperactivity are short less that two minute exercises to start with. Once that is known then after practice an ADD adult can enter a yoga class because it will help. Some things that will also help- Reduction of foods that cause you to be hyper - like too much coffee or salt. use in small doses. Aromatic oils like grapefruit , lavendar, bergamot. find three oils you like ( no more ) then combine

Try passiflora tea A toy Zen garden Chineese metal balls for relaxation A short version of Jacobson progressive muscle relaxation Smiling when you have an attack, it reduces heart rate. Reflexology ( usually they teach breathing exercises too) an relaxing aromatic oils massage Also check out my video " Being In Control : Natural Solutions for ADHD , Dyslexia , and Test Anxiety" there I am demonstrating some of the exercises mentioned. https://sites.google.com/site/jasonalster/
