relationship between
yoga and body
satisfaction
A recent US study explored the
potential for yoga to promote body
satisfaction in a general population of
young, mostly female, adults. The study
of 1664 participants found that yoga
practitioners had higher concurrent body
satisfaction than the non-practitioners, even for
those with prior low body satisfaction. The study
concluded that practicing yoga may have positive impacts for body satisfaction,
particularly for students who had previously reported low body satisfaction, and
called for further studies in this area to be conducted. To read the full study,
