How Yoga Therapy Fits into Outpatient Treatment for Eating Disorder Recovery

When it comes to eating disorder recovery, I believe we must include the body in the process of healing our minds, and yoga therapy is one way we can do that.

Yoga therapy is not a yoga class or a workout; it’s also not just movement and poses. It’s so much more. Through centering exercises, discussion, gentle movement, breathing practices, yoga philosophies, and goal setting to foster healing, yoga therapy teaches you to reconnect with your body and create coping skills for recovery and life. It is a wonderful complement to your work with a therapist, dietician, and other care providers.
