In this episode, Karin welcomes Bérénice Mertens, RYT, certified yoga & meditation teacher and yoga therapist specializing in eating disorders, to the show for the newest episode of Recovery Bites, “Stepping Out of Silence”

Join Karin and Bérénice for a conversation on oscillating between different eating disorder behaviors, rediscovering yourself on the yoga mat, letting go of beliefs that no longer suit you, surrendering rather than waiting to “hit rock bottom,” the marriage of talk therapy and yoga therapy, and much more.

After a decade of suffering in silence, both mentally and physically, Bérénice Mertens, RYT discovered yoga and embarked on her healing journey. As challenging as yoga was, it led Berenice to meditate, calm down, to develop awareness, more self compassion, and allowed her to begin to build a relationship with spirituality as well. For Berenice, yoga is a stepping stone in her recovery from anxiety, PTSD and eating disorders.

In her yoga practice, Bérénice shares holistic tools to help women overcome their eating disorder. When not sharing resources and empowering others in her private virtual group for overcoming disordered eating, you can find Berenice on the yoga mat delivering yoga therapy sessions.
