Mindfulness directly boosts both experience satisfaction and life satisfaction among yoga tourists, and indirectly does so by fostering flow and transcendence experiences. Data from 293 individuals at yoga retreat centers in Akyaka, Turkey, analyzed with structural equation modeling, support these pathways. The results suggest that systematically incorporating mindfulness-based and flow-inducing practices into yoga tourism programs can enhance participant satisfaction and long-term well-being.
