This study examined immediate (state) and long-term (trait) changes in eating disorder symptoms, drivers of eating disorders, and protective factors. In this webinar, the study lead author Esther Estey presents the study findings and answers your questions.
Evidence suggests yoga may be a promising tool in the prevention and treatment of eating disorders, but there are few yoga interventions for eating disorders, and rigorous literature on their efficacy is limited. This study examined the efficacy and feasibility of Eat Breathe Thrive, a yoga-based program designed to prevent and help people recover from eating disorders.
In this webinar, you will:
- Learn the measures of the study of the Eat Breathe Thrive Series
- Learn how the Eat Breathe Thrive Series reduces the risk factors of eating disorders
- Learn how the Eat Breathe Thrive Series boosts factors that protect against eating disorders
- Develop the confidence to speak about the study in your community
