If you work as a yoga therapist or yoga teacher, you’ve likely encountered students with eating disorders. You may have already faced difficult questions: Is this student safe to practice? Which aspects of yoga are genuinely helpful in recovery? How do I work in a way that complements psychological or medical treatment?
This course is designed to give yoga professionals the knowledge and skills to answer those questions with confidence. Over five sessions, we will look at how eating disorders develop, why they carry such high physical and psychological risks, and what research tells us about embodiment. You will learn how yoga therapy can support recovery without reinforcing disordered patterns, and how to adapt your work safely for this population.
The series is also a chance to connect with other yoga professionals and deepen your ability to work with people whose experiences often sit at the edge of what standard yoga training prepares us for.
Who is this training for?
The training is open to yoga therapists, yoga teachers, and health professionals with a personal yoga practice who want to understand how yoga can be used safely and effectively in the context of eating disorders.
What will I gain?
This training will give you a clearer understanding of how eating disorders develop through the lens of embodiment, why they carry such significant risks, and what recovery looks like at different stages. You will gain practical tools to assess risk, adapt practices, and collaborate with healthcare providers, along with greater confidence in your role as part of a multidisciplinary team.
