The National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA) is the largest nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting individuals and families affected by eating disorders.
In the United States, 20 million women and 10 million men will suffer from an eating disorder at some point in their lives. Eating disorders are serious, life-threatening illnesses that affect all kinds of people, regardless of gender, ethnicity, size, age, or background. In fact, eating disorders have the second highest mortality rate of all mental health disorders, surpassed only by opioid addiction.
Eating disorders are widely misunderstood illnesses and support options are often inaccessible. As a result, too many people are left feeling helpless, hopeless, and frightened. Through our programs and services, NEDA raises awareness, builds communities of support and recovery, funds research, and puts life-saving resources into the hands of those in need.

Please join us in a donation-based yoga for a cause class that I will lead at NOW Yoga PDX on N Williams. This will be a 90 min class that will include vinyasa, winding down with restorative shapes, and meditation. This class will encourage participants to honor where their body is, listen and feel into the shapes, invite in tenderness and appreciation for the body in all its forms, and have fun. Participants are encouraged to wear purple in support of NEDA. Suggested donation $30. If you are unable to attend, but feel inclined to support and donate, that is greatly appreciated. 100% of proceeds go to NEDA.
