Establishing consensus-based statements for the suitable implementation of yoga

Researchers at Deakin University are currently looking to recruit mental health professionals AND/OR yoga teachers/therapists with experience in eating disorders and/or yoga.

This study that will use Delphi methodology to establish consensus guidelines for the therapeutic use of yoga in the treatment and management of Eating Disorders.

Specifically, we want to identify the important considerations for implementing yoga, so that it is both safe and useful for those who are experiencing an eating disorder.

To do this, we’ll be conducting a two-round online Delphi survey which takes place several weeks apart, and we are hoping you can participate. You will be asked to consider the importance of various considerations for the application of yoga for anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge-eating disorder.

You will be remunerated with a (AUD) $100 e-shopper voucher (or equivalent voucher to the same value) if you take part in both rounds of this study.
