James was a teenager when he developed an eating problem. He needed help but stereotyping around eating disorders meant it took time for people to realise what James was experiencing. Hear about the barriers to getting help, how yoga helped James accept his body and helped him find his community.

Take this 25 minute practice for gently awakening the range of movement in the hips, combining fluid movement and breath to bring a sense of space and ease. No props required, though if you have sore knees either come out of the shapes or pad under your knees by folding the mat or using a block or cushion :) I hope you enjoy the practice and hope to see you again soon! For more classes with me see yogaproject.co.uk
