Experts incorporate yoga into treatment for anorexia and bulimia
Those who struggle with eating disorders such as anorexia or bulimia may be able to achieve personal growth and better health through the practice of Dahn Yoga. Yoga has been shown to alleviate the condition at prominent treatment centers such as the New York Presbyterian Hospital in White Plains, New York, according to the International Business Times.
Experts believe that yoga's effectiveness as a recovery tool may be due to its subtle teachings on the acceptance of one's physicial and psyschological limitations. Heightened awareness of the being, in addition a more intimate connection between the mind, body and spirit, can help individuals have better respect and compassion for themselves.

A study published in the journal Psychology of Women Quarterly revealed that women who engaged in yoga tended to be more satisfied with their bodies than those who chose more rigorous exercises such as long-distance running or biking.
People who practice Dahn Yoga become better attuned to their breathing, body and overall well-being, which can enhance all aspects of health, including the emotional, mental and physical.
