For the last ten years, a team of yoga-practicing psychologists from Stanford University’s Psychiatry Department has offered specialized yoga teacher trainings, as well as research and yoga classes, through the YogaX Integrated Holistic Yoga Program.

This channel is from the YogaX team, a health care-focused yoga school housed in the department of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Stanford University.

In this episode we discuss yoga in the clinical setting, misconceptions about yoga, and how to start a practice as a teenager with Dr. Heather Freeman. Dr. Freeman has extensive yoga and clinical experience in college counseling, primary care, and community mental health.

YogaX Director Dr. Christiane Brems and her team have developed YogaX to bring teacher training, continuing education and much more. YogaX infuses the eight limbs of yoga throughout a yoga class into the asanas, the breathing, etc.
