YogaX - Stanford Psychiatry 

YogaX is a Special Initiative in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences in the School of Medicine 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. 

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. It 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.
