ABSTRACT

Suppose you are a psychologist, yoga teacher, dietitian, yoga therapist, or executive who wants to bring yoga into an existing eating disorders treatment program. Here are just a few questions you’ll need to consider:

Why would we integrate yoga with the other modalities we use?

How do we integrate yoga with other modalities we use?

How do we persuade colleagues and decision-makers of yoga’s benefits?

How do we find the space, schedule and resources for it?

How can we help staff understand the role and the potential benefits for:

group therapy

individual therapy

meal time/meal time management

established programs, such as Intensive Outpatient, Residential, Partial Hospitalization, Family Support, etc.

How can we make it last?

Does our program have to “see yoga in everything” it does from now on?
