About YogaX at Stanford Psychiatry

YogaX is a Special Initiative of the Chair of the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, at Stanford University, with the mission to bring yoga into healthcare. YogaX provides a clear set of integrative tools for patients, as they navigate their journey into health and resilience. We emphasize yoga in healthcare settings through teacher training programs, continuing education, yoga services, research, and public policy work. We provide continuing education workshops for healthcare providers, consultation, and therapeutic yoga classes through a variety of staff, faculty, and student services. YogaX’s teaches integrated holistic yoga, which is a practice for everyone, a practice with profound benefits, a practice of intentional lifestyle choices, a practice of wholeness, and a practice of integration. Integrated holistic yoga is grounded in modern neuroscience, neurobiology, and psychological research. We honor the ancient philosophical and psychological teachings of yoga, and we aim to combat the stigma and stereotypes associated with the westernization of yoga.
