Often with eating disorders individuals disconnect from their bodies. Whether someone is denying their body signals of hunger with anorexia or denying their sensations of fullness with over-eating, they are separating themselves from their bodies. When there is dissatisfaction with the body, people typically want to avoid "being" in their bodies.
Yoga offers a gentle approach to connecting and appreciating the body. Through the connection with our breath we can become grounded and centered inside our bodies. With the movements and poses, an individual becomes more aware of each musle, their own strength and beauty. There becomes a softening to this amazing vessel that carries us through life.
