Integrating Yoga into Healthcare: Community Insights

    April 9, 2025

    About This Event

    Yoga Alliance and YogaX at Stanford Psychiatry invite you to a community information session unpacking key insights on Opinions About Yoga in Healthcare from yoga professionals who participated in the national survey on identifying the barriers and facilitators to integrating yoga in healthcare settings.

    Together, we’ll begin to explore the perspectives, experiences, and aspirations of over 1,800 yoga professionals across the U.S. and how their voices are shaping the evolving role of yoga in healthcare. This conversation will highlight general trends in the data, the growing interest in integrating yoga into healthcare settings, and how this research aims to empower all yoga professionals—regardless of credential level or background.

    Join us for a collaborative dialogue with Kristina Graff, Head of Social Impact at Yoga Alliance and Dr. Christiane Brems and Geno Carvalho from YogaX at Stanford Psychiatry.

    We’ll cover:

    • General trends in the data from the national survey findings
    • Insights on credentialing, scope of practice, and specialized training
    • What this means for the future of yoga
