在相关和干预研究中，瑜伽练习与各种积极体现指数相关。然而，系统的，有理论基础的模型，详细说明具体机制，瑜伽支持积极体现是缺乏的。在这篇文章中，我们提出了一个概念模型，描述了机制（即中介和调节），可以用来指导研究，以帮助回答如何，为谁，以及在什么条件下瑜伽练习可以促进积极的体现。基于现有的理论框架和实证研究结果，该模型表明：(a)瑜伽练习可以培养瑜伽过程中的体现体验（如状态正念），(b)这些体现体验可以建立稳定的超越瑜伽情境的体现体验（如特质正念），以及(c)这些稳定的体现体验可以促进体现实践（如正念自我照顾）。这一中介链可能受到瑜伽情境（例如，教学重点、镜子的存在、所代表的身体的多样性）、瑜伽练习者的社会身份（例如，体型、身体限制）、社会和个人历史（例如，体重耻辱和创伤的经历）、人格特征和动机（例如，身体比较、练习瑜伽的外表动机）的调节。利用这一概念模型的结构，我们为研究人员提供了可测试模型和支持它们的研究设计的想法。
Yoga practice has been associated with various indices of positive embodiment in correlational and intervention studies. Yet, systematic, theoretically-grounded models detailing specific mechanisms by which yoga supports positive embodiment are lacking. In this article, we present a conceptual model that describes mechanisms (i.e., mediators and moderators) that can be used to guide research to help answer how, for whom, and under what conditions yoga practice may promote positive embodiment. Based on existing theoretical frameworks and empirical findings, this model suggests that (a) yoga practice may cultivate embodying experiences during yoga (e.g., state mindfulness), (b) these embodying experiences may build stable embodying experiences that generalize beyond the yoga context (e.g., trait mindfulness), and (c) these stable embodying experiences may then promote embodying practices (e.g., mindful self-care). This mediational chain is likely moderated by the yoga context (e.g., instructional focus, presence of mirrors, diversity of bodies represented) and yoga practitioners' social identities (e.g., body size, physical limitations), social and personal histories (e.g., experiences with weight stigma and trauma), and personality traits and motives (e.g., body comparison, appearance-focused motives to practice yoga). Using the structure of this conceptual model, we offer researchers ideas for testable models and study designs that can support them.
