So raw so real and beautiful. I resonated on so many levels. I also broke free from disordered eating with the help of yoga. Thank you for sharing your story. May your words be a tonic to anyone going through the pain shame and burden of an eating disorder.

As someone who has struggled with disordered eating my whole life, I appreciated this insightful and heartfelt talk. There were many points that resonated with me. Thank you

Thanks for sharing your story 🙏for me also yoga has been my main path to self acceptance and compassion. With yoga ( in all its aspects ) it has become obvious to me how my anorexia was a symptom and a coping mechanism - today at 60 I feel very good about myself and hope to be able to help others 🤗🐴

Thank you for sharing your story, Skylar! I can empathize with struggling with an eating disorder, as I went through a battle with anorexia. It's important for us to share our experiences to show others that they are not alone in their struggles. I believe that with support, anyone can overcome this serious illness. While I do not like to claim I am fully recovered, as that implies perfection which I am far from, I can confidently say that my disorder no longer controls me.
