There is a growing body of research exploring the effectiveness of
yoga as a pathway to positive embodiment for those at-risk for and
struggling with eating disorders. This book provides a
comprehensive look at the state of the field. This book begins with
an introduction to positive embodiment, eating disorders, and yoga.
It also offers insights into the personal journey of each of the
editors as they share what brought them to this work. The first
section of this book explores the empirical and conceptual
rationale for approaching eating disorder prevention and treatment
through the lens of embodiment and yoga. The next section of the
text integrates the history of embodiment theory as related to yoga
and eating disorders, provides the logic model for change and
guidance for researchers, and offers a critical social justice
perceptive of the work to date. The third section addresses the
efficacy of yoga in the prevention and treatment of eating
disorders including a comprehensive review and meta-analysis as
well as five research studies demonstrating the various approaches
to exploring the preventative and therapeutic effects of yoga for
disordered eating. The final section of this book closes with a
chapter on future directions and offers guidance for what is next
in both practice and research. The chapters in this book were
originally published as a special edition of Eating Disorders: The
Journal of Treatment & Prevention.
