This is a rare opportunity to study with a world expert who will help you take your skills to the next level and make a positive impact on the lives of those struggling with eating disorders.
Eating disorders are complex and sometimes life-threatening mental disorders that require a multi-disciplinary approach to treatment. Since 2015, hospital admissions for eating disorders have increased by 84%, and wait lists for treatment can exceed one year.
Although not appropriate as a stand-alone treatment, a growing body of research suggests yoga can bolster conventional forms of therapy and boost protective factors that reduce the risk of eating disorders, including self-care, self-compassion, body appreciation, social connection, and mindful eating.
In this five-part series (where each seminar can be done separately), you will learn directly from Chelsea Roff, the world’s leading yoga therapist in the field of eating disorders. The course will cover physiological and psychological complications of eating disorders, current research on yoga’s efficacy in prevention and treatment, and best practices for working with patients in treatment and home-based settings.
WHO IS THIS TRAINING FOR?
This course is aimed at yoga therapists and yoga therapists in training. We also welcome yoga teachers, yoga teachers in training, and health professionals from other backgrounds all who have additional skills in working with eating disorders or who are taking this seminar series as a pathway to further training.
Does this training certify me to work with students with eating disorders one-on-one?
No. This course is designed to increase your awareness of eating disorders and help you understand the benefits of yoga in prevention and treatment. You will learn about the role yoga teachers and yoga therapists play within an integrated clinical treatment team, with best-practice guidance.
