Yoga practitioners show higher scores on the Observe dimension of mindfulness compared to non-practitioners, and those with more than twelve years of practice and greater weekly volume score even higher on Observe. Greater weekly volume also relates to higher scores on Acting with Awareness. Yoga teachers score higher on Observe but lower on Acting with Awareness than practitioners. Women display a specific pattern different from men, regardless of practice status. On the Non-Judge dimension, significant differences appear by age, with practitioners over 60 years old standing out. The findings suggest yoga practice may contribute to increased mindfulness, though further research is needed given the construct's multidimensionality.
