Researchers tracked the progress of 50 adolescents, ages 11 to 16, who were receiving treatment for eating disorders. The adolescents were divided into two groups: one group received traditional treatment and the other group received traditional treatment plus two hours of yoga classes per week with a certified yoga instructor.
Researchers found that individuals who participated in yoga classes made greater improvement and were less likely to relapse than those who did not practice yoga.
