The group is facilitated by Shena Washburn, RD, CD who has extensive experience working with those recovering from an eating disorder. Group is safe and inviting place to give and receive support, providing the opportunity for reflection and growth not only as an individual, but also as a community.

With a vast teaching experience, Sarah is an expert at individualizing gentle movement, encouraging each student to work at their own pace.
When: Yoga will be held Thursdays 6:30-7:30pm, the dates for the 15-week eating disorder recovery series* are as follows: 7/12, 7/19, 7/26, 8/02, 8/09, 8/16, 8/23, 8/30, 9/06, 9/13, 9/20, 9/27, 10/04, 10/11, 10/18

Who: Individuals who are recovering from an eating disorder, who are seeking a more integrated approach in an outpatient "real-world" setting.
Cost: Most insurance plans will cover this, as "group medical nutrition therapy." But please note that you are ultimately responsible for any fees your insurance does not cover. We will submit all claims to your insurance company for you, whether they are in, or out of network. We will also do our best to help determine the details of your insurance plan as it relates to this program, and we do require a signed commitment for cohesiveness and planning.
*Before joining the 15-week eating disorder recovery series...
An initial assessment is required prior to attending the 15-week eating disorder recovery series, to assure it is the right fit for you. To schedule your assessment, please call: (206) 909-8022. It would be best to schedule your assessment at least two-weeks prior to series beginning.
In an effort to provide support to all who attend; this series requires a 15-week commitment. We try our best to limit the coming and going to both the support group and gentle yoga, so we can provide the most reliable sense of support possible. So please be sure you are able to make the 15-week commitment prior to signing-up for the 15-week series. If you have any questions or concerns about potential conflicts, please speak with Shena prior to joining the group.
If you miss more than three support groups or yoga, and/or repeatedly arrive 15 minutes or more late (without prior approval), you will be asked to rejoin when you have more availability.

Restorative Yoga at Ramey Nutrition Starts May 24!
Ramey Nutrition is back with Restorative Yoga we call Gentle Yoga!
Restorative Yoga focuses on relaxing the body in restful postures and helps to trigger the Parasympathetic Nervous System (PNS) to bring the body back into equilibrium. This specific yoga technique has been noted by countless studies to aid in the management and healing of trauma, stress/anxiety, depression, and disordered eating behaviors. Additionally, we strongly believe in its benefits for a variety of stress-sensitive diseases such as hypertension and diabetes.
This is a one-hour class taught by Sarah Akthar, concentrating on both Restorative and Vinyasa Yoga techniques. It is a meditative experience, providing the body an opportunity to renew and heal. It is designed for all levels, body-types and physical capabilities.
Gentle Yoga promotes body awareness and acceptance by inviting each student to really be present with them-self for an hour and feel where their bodies need care, emotionally or physically. With a vast experience teaching yoga, Sarah is an expert at individualizing gentle movement.
Vinyasa Yoga is focused on the alignment of movement and breath, and aids in the functionality of the circulatory system. This style allows for a lot of variety, but will almost certainly include Sun Salutations.
When: 6:30pm-7:30pm, beginning May 24th
Where: Ramey Nutrition.4241-B 11th Ave. NE.Seattle, WA 98105. (206) 909-8022 www.rameynutrition.com
Cost: $10/person
