BACKGROUND: Recently, emerging population-based evidence has revealed that yoga practitioners are particularly vulnerable to engaging in disordered eating behaviors, inclusive of orthorexia symptoms (OS). Although orthorexia tends to be characterized by a hypervigilance over consuming so-called healthy or clean foods based on quality attributes, its associations with variables related to broader diet culture (eg, internalized weight bias [IWB] and body- and fitness-related shame, guilt, and hubristic pride) remain underexamined. In addition, previous research has yet to explore the psychological correlates of OS specifically among yoga professionals, who are uniquely positioned to influence their students' and clients' orientations toward eating and embodied well-being.
OBJECTIVE: This secondary analysis from the Yoga Teacher and Therapist Lifestyle and Well-Being Study (2019-2020) aimed to investigate the relationships among diet culture-related experiences, specifically IWB and body- and fitness-related self-conscious emotions, role modeling positive body image, and OS among female yoga professionals, as well as to evaluate the indirect effects of IWB via role modeling positive body image and other diet culture-related experiences on OS.
DESIGN: A secondary, cross-sectional correlational analysis was performed to address the research questions.
PARTICIPANTS: The study included 406 female yoga professionals living in the United States and Canada (37% racial/ethnic minority and 13% sexual minority).
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: These included IWB, body- and fitness-related self-conscious emotions, role modeling positive body image, and OS.
STATISTICAL ANALYSES PERFORMED: These included Pearson correlations and regression models.
RESULTS: Nearly 40% of participants consumed an exclusively vegetarian or vegan diet; 25% identified as engaging in "clean eating." Positive associations were observed between IWB and OS, shame, and guilt. Inverse associations were observed between IWB and role modeling positive body image and authentic pride. OS were positively linked to all body and fitness-related self-conscious emotion variables and to role modeling positive body image. The indirect effect of IWB on OS via shame was significant (β = .16, 95% CI .07 to .26). The indirect effect via role modeling positive body image was nonsignificant (β = -.01, 95% CI -.02 to .00).
CONCLUSIONS: Findings contribute to the growing scholarship recognizing orthorexia's links with harmful diet culture among yoga professionals, potentially reflecting regulating internal body- and fitness-related shame stemming from IWB and perceptions of modeling positive body image for students and clients who may be at risk. Results call for increased collaborative outreach efforts to identify appropriate interventions to effectively target these public health concerns within the broader yoga community.
