Description

Learn to lead an eating disorder prevention program that combines skill building, yoga and mindfulness, and peer support to help participants learn to eat mindfully, cope with emotions, and feel at ease in their body.

Ready to bring Eat Breathe Thrive to your private practice, treatment clinic, yoga studio, or local school? Get certified to lead eating disorder prevention groups in community and outpatient settings.


Developed by people with eating disorders, and shaped through collaboration with researchers and clinicians.
The Eat Breathe Thrive intervention is designed to address the early experiences that can lead to eating disorders - like feeling disconnected from the body, overwhelmed by emotions, and isolated from others.

The intervention has been evaluated in multiple randomized controlled trials.

Evidence-Based Approach

The Eat Breathe Thrive intervention has been validated in peer-reviewed randomized controlled trials, showing significant reductions in eating disorder symptoms, body image concerns, anxiety, PTSD symptoms, depression, and loneliness. It also increases body appreciation, interoceptive awareness, self-compassion, and positive coping strategies. Participants reported improvements after just one session, with many benefits lasting up to six months.
