The Benefits of Yoga with Dr. Arlene Schmid

Professor Arlene Schmid is a researcher who blends occupational therapy with yoga interventions to help people with chronic disabilities and diseases. In this episode, we discuss the basics of yoga, how to engage in a practice if you’ve never done yoga before, and we discuss Schmid’s research on how yoga affects chronic pain, how it helps caregivers, and a new study that will examine what happens in the brains of people with brain injuries when they take part in a yoga intervention. To learn more about the yoga and brain injuries study, or to sign up as a participant, email CSU_scorelab@colostate.edu.
