Mindfulness yoga helps you appreciate your body for what it can do

Yoga therapy for eating disorders can help your patients who are in constant battle with their bodies. Through mindfulness yoga, individuals begin to enjoy their body for the first time. 

They start to define their body in terms of “what it can do” versus “what it is.” They learn that they are not mere extensions of their body, but possess beautiful internal qualities.Patients are taught to look inward and focus on inner qualities versus the body’s outward appearance. They are encouraged to let go of competition with themselves and others. Mindfulness yoga teaches self-acceptance in this way.
