Guest contributor Sarah DeCecco, LMSW, has had a complicated relationship with food since birth. Sarah shares her story of recovery and why today, as a mother, therapist, and yoga teacher and practitioner, self-compassion is the essential ingredient for her ability to thrive and hold space for herself and the people she helps.

Guest contributor Veronique van Dam shares how yoga led her to find her passion and taught her how to care for herself throughout her recovery from an eating disorder and beyond.

Here’s what you need to know if a yoga student with an eating disorder takes your yoga class. I am dedicated to educating my colleagues on this topic and advocating for others in recovery.

Welcome to Chime's YTT series (that's Yoga Teacher Talk, not Yoga Teacher Training), where yoga teachers share their experiences as they continue to grow personally and professionally. This month, an inspiring group of teachers share their personal mission statements for teaching yoga.

Every Friday I post lessons I learned from parenting, teaching yoga, practicing on my mat, and life in general. I like to think of these posts as conversations about the stuff of life. You are invited to join the conversation and leave comments on my blog.
