Partners in Change Round-Up: Yoga and Body Image Coalition

The Yoga and Body Image Coalition (YBIC) has been a long-time Partner in Change. This blog round-up, in honor of National Eating Disorders Awareness (#NEDAwareness) Week 2022, highlights how the practice of yoga can be an integral component in the effective treatment of and ongoing recovery from eating disorders and disordered eating. The posts included are from those who have first-hand experience with disordered eating or from those who are called to share their body acceptance journeys.
