Kelly
McGonigal, Ph.D. I
am dedicated to integrating contemporary psychology, medicine, yoga, and
meditation. I received my Ph.D. in Psychology from Stanford University,
with a concentration in Humanistic Medicine. Writing I
currently serve as the Editor-in-Chief of the International
Journal of Yoga Therapy, the only scientific and
professional journal dedicated to yoga as a healing practice, and Yoga
Therapy in Practice, a new magazine for yoga professionals. I write
for a wide range of publications, from academic journals to yoga
magazines, and provide editing services to academic authors and freelance
writers. Many
of my articles are archived in the resources
section of this web site. I also write a free monthly newsletter
for yoga students and teachers. Teaching I
teach yoga, meditation, dance, and health psychology at Stanford
University. In addition to my regular teaching schedule, I also travel frequently to
present workshops
at yoga studios, conferences, and retreats. I teach Anatomy, Physiology,
and Teaching Methods for Avalon
Yoga Center's 200-hour teacher training program, and provide
ongoing mentorship to new yoga teachers. I also teach an online class, The
Yoga of Connection, that includes weekly emails and
online discussion boards. Research I
have collaborated on projects investigating the effects of yoga,
meditation, and breathing techniques on depression, anger, anxiety, and
attention skills. I serve as a research consultant for yoga
professionals, conducting literature reviews and providing support for
basic research design and data analysis. Download and listen to an interview with me on Yoga Peeps, a new PodCast show featuring discussions with yoga teachers.
