My son is being diagnosed for ADHD and autism and I'm an obese (on the bmi chart) arthritic 25 year old and it's been suggested to do yoga. Any thing on YouTube that can help us both complete beginners. Thank you

Look up Special Yoga - on the website Movement for Modern Life there are some small snippets of this with the founder of special Yoga, Jo Manuel. You do have to pay for a full subscription but I think they might do a free trial. Might be a useful starting point for you ❤️

Yoga for Adrienne is good. She’s very reassuring as has lots of different videos and never pushes you to far.

There is a kids one called cosmic kids. It’s quite fast and I struggle to keep up as I’m large. However my kids love it. It also has zen den on it which is little meditation for kidS.

Look for yoga with adriene on YouTube she has one specifically for children and pain management. I use it for back pain and youngest wanted to do it as well but I use yoga as "me time" so he does separately.

Cosmic kids yoga is brilliant. It is fast but you can take a pause and leave out some moves. It's all based around stories which incorporate the yoga poses, I'm not sure if a 7 yr old might find the stories a little young though. (Dd is five and loves it)
