About

The purpose of this study is to examine whether the Eat Breathe Thrive (EBT) Yoga for Eating Disorder Recovery online course is effective in supporting eating disorder recovery.

Full description

We will conduct a block randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing an intervention group and a waitlist control group. Participants in the intervention group will complete the Eat Breathe Thrive (EBT) Yoga for Eating Disorder Recovery online course. This course will be led by certified facilitators via Zoom and offered over the course of four weeks, comprising one two-hour session per week. The course will continue to recruit and enroll participants until sufficient power is reached for the study. At Pretest, Posttest 1, Posttest 2, and three-months Follow-Up, participants will complete a series of self-report measures (see point 12.3). Participants in the waitlist control group will only be engaged in the study assessment procedures. However, they will be given the opportunity to take part in the Yoga for Eating Disorder Recovery online course that was delivered to the intervention group, once Posttest 1 has been completed by both groups.
