Mindfulness and Body Images of Female: Influence of Yoga Practice
Abstract
This study investigated the relationship between the mindfulness and body image variables-body esteems, body satisfaction, and objectified body consciousness(OBC) - based on the survey data drawn from female yoga teachers(n=153) and ordinary females(n=167). The results are as follows. 1) It was revealed that mindfulness level had positive correlations with body esteem and body satisfaction, and a negative correlation with OBC. All of mindfulness factors showed significant positive correlations with body image variables and negative correlation with OBC, except 'non-judgement' factor. A multiple stepwise regression revealed that 'acting with awareness' and 'non-reactivity' factors were significant predictors of body image variables. 2) The yoga professional group showed relatively positive body esteem, body satisfaction, and OBC compared to ordinary female group. 3) There was no difference in the overall mindfulness level between the two groups, but the yoga group showed higher observation score than the ordinary group as expected, while the ordinary group showed higher non-judgement score than the yoga group. 4) The length of yoga practice showed a positive correlation with mindfulness when the age effect was controlled. Based on the results, the possibility of enhancing mindfulness and correcting negative body images in female through yoga practice was discussed.
