As someone who suffered anorexia for a time in my younger years, I can tell you firsthand that its basis was in a lack of connection, a need for control in a crazy world, and very low self-esteem. YOGA is the way to reconnect, improve self-esteem, and help learn lessons regarding holding on/control as cause of suffering. The desire to share this gift was one of the many reasons I began teaching yoga to children. Glad to see that actual research is showing these benefits. YES!Thanks for sharing!
