Eat Breathe Thrive and ANAD have long shared a commitment to helping individuals recover from eating disorders.
We’re proud to call ANAD a trusted partner in this mission. Serving communities across the United States, ANAD offers free, peer-led support groups and mentorship programs rooted in the belief that healing happens best when people know they’re not alone. Together, Eat Breathe Thrive and ANAD are working to ensure that everyone affected by an eating disorder has access to the compassionate support they need to heal and thrive.
Partnership story
In 2022, ANAD and Eat Breathe Thrive launched Connect, Practice, Recover: A Yoga Support Group for Eating Disorders during Eating Disorders Awareness Week, marking the beginning of our formal partnership. This event created space for people in recovery to connect through yoga, meditation, and shared experience.
Now held quarterly, Connect, Practice, Recover continues to offer accessible yoga and peer support for anyone affected by an eating disorder. It’s a powerful way to build community, find inspiration, and support your healing journey.

About ANAD
Founded in 1976, the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders (ANAD) is the leading nonprofit in the United States that provides free, peer support services to anyone struggling with an eating disorder. ANAD’s nationwide network of volunteers understands first-hand the ups and downs of the recovery journey—because they, too, have lived the experience of an eating disorder.
Serving more than 10,000 individuals in 2023, the organization’s services include a warm helpline, weekly peer-led virtual support groups, a six-month peer mentorship program, an approach guide series, and an expanding treatment directory.
If you or a loved one is struggling with eating or body image concerns, the ANAD Helpline is available Monday through Friday from 9:00am to 9:00pm CT at 1-888-375-7767.
