Abstract in brief

This preliminary study investigated whether a 12-week yoga program could help reduce the severity of binge eating in women with BED, showing that those who participated in yoga reported significant decreases in binge episodes and increased physical activity.
The results indicated that participants in the yoga group experienced small but significant reductions in BMI, hips, and waist measurements, whereas the waitlist control group showed no significant changes.
Overall, incorporating yoga through weekly classes and home practice appears to be a promising approach for managing binge eating disorder based on this initial evidence.]
