I could feel my eating disorder (ED) trying to creep from the back of my confused, cloudy mind and regain control of my very out-of-control world.” @lizgetman READ MORE in link in @ybicoalition bio. #NEDAwareness #ComesAsYouAre: Hindsight is 20/20 #eatingdisorder #bodyacceptance #whatayogilookslike #ybicoalition

  • NEDAwarenees Week YBIC Blog Five: “Each of us has our own unique journey and experience, and labeling food as good or bad completely disregards these special differences. Your relationship with food and body image is so completely normal based on your life experiences. When it comes to fueling your body, there is no good or bad, right or wrong. There is learning and trying and practicing. Every day is different. There is no perfect; only practice. “ @jordansheapage @pagingadventure READ MORE in link in @ybicoalition bio. #NEDAwareness #ComesAsYouAre: Hindsight is 20/20 #eatingdisorder #bodyacceptance #whatayogilookslike #ybicoalition

  • NEDAwarenees Week YBIC Blog Four: “I was merciless with myself when I was sick, with no room for anything less than perfection. Learning to let go of a strict, rule-bound mindset was scary. Through my recovery work and yoga studies, I have replaced that mindset with compassion, which to me means practicing acceptance, kindness, and empathy toward self and others. Recovery has taught me that a compassionate approach to my efforts will get me much further than a perfectionistic one.” @jennifer_kreatsoulas @yogaforeatingdisorders READ MORE in link in @ybicoalition bio. #NEDAwareness #ComesAsYouAre: Hindsight is 20/20 #eatingdisorder #bodyacceptance #whatayogilookslike #ybicoalition

  • NEDAwarenees Week YBIC Blog Three: It was never easy; recovery can be messy, and that is only exacerbated without proper support. We all come into recovery differently, and I had to use the resources I had access to at the time: yoga, meditation, and a small community where I felt understood. It was years between stopping the behaviors of anorexia and receiving therapy, but there were plenty of teachers along the way that came in many forms.” Dr. Celisa Flores @dr.celisa READ MORE in link in @ybicoalition bio. #NEDAwareness #ComesAsYouAre: Hindsight is 20/20 #eatingdisorder #bodyacceptance #whatayogilookslike #ybicoalition

  • NEDAwarenees Week YBIC Blog Two: “Here’s what I remember from the past that has circled back to my personal body acceptance, sustainable nourishment, and joyful movement journey: that even from a young age when I was deemed “underweight” to a slightly older age when I became deemed “overweight,” my relationship to food was often medicalized (yes in addition to the multi-layered transformational trauma held within my family lineages around it.)” Rachel Otis @somewhere_under_the_rainbow READ MORE in link in @ybicoalition bio. #NEDAwareness #ComesAsYouAre: Hindsight is 20/20 #eatingdisorder #bodyacceptance #whatayogilookslike #ybicoalition

  • The Yoga & Body Image Coalition is honored to once again be a featured NEDAwareness week partner! Stay tuned for a week of blog posts and IG/FB live shares that highlight the practice of yoga & ED recovery. “I was introduced to an embodied practice of self-compassion through my Yoga practice; I began to pay attention to where in my body the stories ‘imperfections’ land. I began to look in the mirror more often and allow myself to feel into the visceral reactions that arose. I allowed myself to be with that discomfort and to explore how I can consciously redirect those reactions of discomfort to responses of self-compassion. Yoga allowed me to lean into my awareness of body shaming and energetically shift towards unconditional body acceptance.” @dr.yaghmai READ MORE in link in @ybicoalition bio. #NEDAwareness #ComesAsYouAre: Hindsight is 20/20 #eatingdisorder #bodyacceptance #whatayogilookslike #ybicoalition

  • #repost @tchnrun ・・・ Vriksasana or Tree Pose has endless possibilities! Rooting down and rising up. Maybe even swaying. Hands can be at heart or wherever they feel tree-like to you.
