چکیده
Purpose Besides physical movements, yoga involves mental techniques which are considered to be essential for its effectiveness.

In a previous study, we have shown that ICPH can be predicted solely by the acceptance component of mindfulnes. Now we investigated whether and how variables of mental stability change with respect to ICPH.
