Mediators between Yoga Practice and Psychological Well-Being : Mindfulness, Body Awareness and Satisfaction with Body Image

Abstract: Regular yoga practice was connected to higher levels of psychological well-being in cross-sectional and longitudinal studies. However, the psychological mechanisms of this connection are still unexplained. In the present cross-sectional questionnaire study, hypothesised mediating effects of body awareness, satisfaction with body image, and mindfulness were investigated. 203 healthy adults (183 females, mean age: 36.8 ± 10.03 years) practicing yoga at an advanced level were involved in the study. Participants c… Show more

“…The positive association between subjective well‐being and interoceptive sensibility (i.e., the subjective or perceived aspect of interoception) replicates the findings of previous studies (Hanley et al, ; Tihanyi, Böőr, et al, ; Tihanyi, Sági, Csala, Tolnai, & Köteles, ). One explanation is that better psychological functioning and lower levels of perceived stress enable healthy individuals to allocate more attentional resources to various stimuli, including information originating in the body (Köteles et al, ).…”

“…For example, well-being as assessed by the Scales of Psychological Well-Being (Ryff, 1989) showed weak to medium associations with seven of the eight subscales of the Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness scale (Hanley et al, 2017). Similarly, Body Awareness Questionnaire scores (Shields et al, 1989) showed moderate associations with the level of self-reported well-being as assessed by the five-item Well-Being Index of WHO (Tihanyi, Böőr, et al, 2016). These findings are in accordance with the adaptivity approach, although the question of causality is yet to be answered.…”

“…Body awareness was reported to mediate the effects of yoga practice on psychological well-being in a crosssectional study (Tihanyi et al 2016). Yet, as suggested by the current results, body awareness does not appear to be specific to the context of intervention and training.…”

“…Lo descrito anteriormente lo afirman estudios en los que se ha trabajado con población practicante habitual de yoga (al menos seis meses de forma continua), reflejando, por medio de la aplicación de cuestionarios psicológicos (de forma presencial o en línea), mayores niveles de bienestar psicológico, atención y disminuciones en la insatisfacción corporal y en la depresión en este tipo de población, en comparación con otras poblaciones que realizan otras modalidades de ejercicio físico (trabajos en gimnasio y afines) (Gaiswinkler & Unterrainer, 2016;Tihanyi et al, 2016).…”
