In this episode, Karin welcomes Bérénice Mertens, RYT, certified yoga & meditation teacher and yoga therapist specializing in eating disorders, to the show for the newest episode of Recovery Bites, “Stepping Out of Silence”

Join Karin and Bérénice for a conversation on oscillating between different ed behaviors, rediscovering yourself on the yoga mat, letting go of beliefs that no longer suit you, surrendering rather than waiting to “hit rock bottom,” the marriage of talk therapy and yoga therapy, and much more.

Berenice Mertens, RYT is a certified yoga & meditation teacher and yoga therapist specializing in eating disorders. After a decade of suffering in silence, both mentally and physically, Berenice discovered yoga and embarked on her personal healing journey. As challenging as yoga was, it led Berenice to meditate, calm down, to develop awareness, more self compassion, and allowed her to begin to build a relationship with spirituality as well. For Berenice, yoga has been, and still is, a stepping stone in her recovery from anxiety, PTSD and eating disorders.

In her yoga practice, Berenice shares holistic tools to help women overcome their eating disorder. In 2020, Berenice pivoted her yoga business online and now offers a community for beings who struggle with eating disorders. When not sharing resources and empowering others in her private virtual group for overcoming disordered eating, you can find Berenice on the yoga mat delivering 1:1 yoga therapy sessions.
