Eating disorders can lead to severe medical and psychological consequences. Traditional interventions may neglect some of the crucial elements of eating disorders, specifically mood and body awareness. Other modalities, particularly yoga, should be considered as an adjunct to traditional treatments. This pilot study explored the benefits of a 6-day yoga workshop for women with a history of eating disorders. Results indicated improvements in mood, psychological adjustment, physical and emotional awareness, and eating disorder symptoms. This study concluded that other modalities, such as yoga, may be efficacious in improving mood and psychological functioning for those with a self-reported history of eating disorders.
