YBIC Gathers NEDAwareness Week 2020 Writing

The Yoga and Body Image Coalition is a 2020 Featured NEDAwareness Week Partner. YBIC’s mission is to work with all of the ways yoga and body image intersect to create greater access and dignity for all. As part of NEDAwareness Week, YBIC invited its community members to “share their stories about how the practice of yoga has played an integral role in their healing and recovery from eating disorders” for its blog. The shares included are from those who have first-hand experience with disordered eating, or from those who are called to share their body acceptance journeys.
