So excited to see this research being done! Ever since I met Matthew Sanford, a paraplegic yoga instructor who reconnected with his disabled part of his body after an accident I have wondered about the benefits to people with eds. I know some of our MN treatment centers are using yoga as part of the recovery plan. I am excited to see more research done on this and am happy to see Melissa’s comment about pilates helping her to trust her physical being.

Having struggled with eating disorders for over 25 years I can only say that it was when I discovered yoga 7 years ago that my recovery started. It was through yoga that I learned how to be in my body, how to be in the present moment,how to make peace with my body, how to forgive myself when I did return to my eating disorder and how to deal with uncomfortable moments (sometimes in a difficult pose) and how that taught me about life. Yoga brought me back “home” and continues to do so. I have since become a yoga teacher and am looking to teach other ED sufferers.

I found that pilates really helped me to make friends with my body after being totally alienated from it through anorexia and bulimia. Beginning to understand and trust my physical being was a really important part of my recovery and also forced me to start looking at how difficult I found relaxing – whilst providing a way of doing it.

Everyday I live with Fibromyalgia that causes a number of ailments for the body. One of the side effects I have is Irritable Bowl Syndrome (ISB). Since I started doing yoga my ISB attacks have reduced greatly and I personally found that I have better control over my eating habits.
