Objectives:This study examines motivations for yoga and identifies unique motivational profiles among a sample of young adult yoga practitioners. This study further determines how young adult yoga practitioners’ motivational profiles associate with physical health behaviors and psychological factors.Subjects/Setting:Survey data were drawn from the fourth wave of a large, population-based study (Project EAT-IV; Eating and Activity in Teens and Young Adults).Design:Latent class analysis (LCA) was used to identify motivational profiles among Project EAT-IV participants practicing yoga (n= 297; mean age: 30.8–1.7 years; 79.7 % female). Cross-sectional associations between latent motivational profiles, physical health behaviors, and psychological factors were determined with unadjusted and adjusted (gender, race/ethnicity, and body mass index) general linear models.Results:Across motivational profiles, most young adult yoga practitioners were motivated by enhanced fitness and stress reduction/relaxation. Additional motivations for yoga clustered by appearance (desire to change body appearance or weight) or mindfulness (desire to increase present moment awareness) underpinnings. The LCA characterized motivational profiles as “Low Appearance, Low Mindfulness” (Class 1;n= 77), “Low Appearance, High Mindfulness” (Class 2;n= 48), “High Appearance, Low Mindfulness” (Class 3;n= 79), and “High Appearance, High Mindfulness” (Class 4;n= 93). Having a profile with high mindfulness and low appearance motivations (Class 2) was associated with higher body satisfaction in comparison to the other classes (p< 0.001). Relative to Class 2, those with low mindfulness motivations (Class 1; Class 3) reported less total physical activity (p= 0.002) and those with high appearance motivations (Class 3; Class 4) reported higher compulsive exercise scores (p= 0.002).Conclusions:In this sample, high mindfulness and low appearance motivations for yoga appeared optimal for physical and psychological health. Cross-sectional findings suggest that young adult yoga practitioners' mind-body health may be supported by motivational underpinnings that emphasize yoga's internal (mindfulness) rather than external (appearance) benefits.
