      ABSTRACT

      The body vividly expresses our differences. Through gestures, facial movements and somatic expressions, the body makes explicit our physical ability, age, ethnicity, and many of our emotions and thoughts (Shusterman, 2006). Understanding what the body communicates and needs is central to the concerns of those with eating disorders. While most clinicians would agree that they are committed to facilitating learning through and about the body, it is extremely difficult to design a residential curriculum that engages the body in healthy ways. Consciously or unconsciously, each aspect of treatment addresses the body: regular walks, regulation of food, monitoring of bathrooms, time for dance, music, or other forms of art, and relaxation. In an effort to more explicitly address embodiment, some clinical directors are adding the practice of yoga to their mental health programs (Boudette, 2006; Douglass, 2009; Lavey et al., 2005).
