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.
