Stanford Dept of Psychiatry Yoga

YogaX is a special initiative of the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioural Sciences at Stanford's School of Medicine. Our mission is the integration of therapeutic yoga in health and allied healthcare settings. YogaX’s three branches - yoga teacher certification, continuing education with a therapeutic yoga focus for yoga teachers and healthcare providers, and yoga services to our communities - are rooted in holistic spiritual traditions as well as modern neuroscience, biomedical, and psychological research.
We are all trained as psychologists, both as researchers and clinicians, who promote the science and application of therapeutic yoga. We offer YogaX at Stanford Psychiatry to inspire, support, and implement science-informed, holistic yoga education, training, and services that support the wellbeing of individuals and communities. YogaX invites you to attend continuing education workshops or self-care events; en-roll in teacher training; and use our services, such as our blog.
