Being involved in the women?s yoga group has given me a safe place to talk openly with other women who are struggling with body image, eating disorder thoughts, ideas, and behaviors. The group provides me with support, while challenging me to make positive changes in my life. \r
The yoga practice has taught me a form of movement that is more about taking time to be with myself each day; moving in a calm introspective way, instead of exercising with the intent to burn calories, lose weight, and disconnect from my body. Caroline has taught me that yoga is not about being perfect with the poses, but instead, it is a way of taking time to sit with myself in acceptance; breathe, focus, and ground myself- setting aside all the negative thoughts, self-hate, even if it is only for that short time each day. This group, along with traditional therapy has proven to be extremely helpful on my path to recovery.
Pros: comfortable environment, life changing
