Description
Yoga philosophy and practice are increasingly being used therapeutically to help people overcome disordered eating patterns—like overeating, food addiction, and stress eating—and the resulting emotional distress they can cause. Sarahjoy Marsh offers a program using yoga to address food-centered behaviors and body image issues. She illuminates the nature of addiction and offers a methodical approach to recovery that is neither dogmatic nor rigid; rather, it is compassionate, hopeful, and deliberate.
Full of clear, empathic advice and photographs of the step-by-step practices, this book will help alleviate the isolation that people with food-oriented issues and body image problems feel; offer strategies for changing the behaviors; and give clear guidelines about the processes of recovery and the development of new life skills.
Advance Praise
“For so many women,
issues with food and body can hijack life. Sarahjoy Marsh skillfully weaves
together principles from yoga philosophy with breathing, movement, and
meditation practices to offer a path out of the perpetuating patterns of self-
doubt, isolation, and unhappiness that can arise. This book is an invaluable
contribution to the worlds of yoga and women’s health—and for anyone exploring
the natural intelligence of body and mind as a means of finding balance and
freedom.”—Mary Taylor, yoga teacher and author of What Are you Hungry

“Marsh offers an important methodology to those impacted by disordered
eating—one that creates connection, harmony, and synthesis in one's own being.”—Melanie

“In this compassionate, down-to-earth guide to yoga for recovery from
disordered eating, Sarahjoy Marsh shares profound lessons learned from over 25

reconnecting with the healing powers of our innate life force.”—Carol Horton,
