Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Movement practice (yoga) tenure/frequency for prior month; heart rate variability (HRV) daily self-recorded measurements for 2-weeks; online survey measures completed once per participant on enrolment: health habits (smoking, alcohol intake, sleep); nutrition/physical activity self-efficacy; interoceptive awareness; and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ-SF) which collates the past week's activity levels. Qualitative responses on movement practice and lifestyle for full cohort via online survey and via semi-structured interview (one-on-once based on study-specific questions, audio-recorded) for a random subset of participants at earliest convenience after completion of the survey.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 323958 0
Self-regulation (defined as pro-health habits/behaviour) as experienced by movement practitioners (yoga practitioners/gym users).
Survey included a mixture of validated surveys: the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ-SF), the Nutrition Self-Efficacy and Physical Exercise Self-Efficacy Scales, and the noticing, emotional awareness, and body listening questions from the Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness (MAIA) scale to reduce the time burden on participants.
Timepoint [1] 323958 0
On enrolment.
Primary outcome [2] 323959 0
Heart rate variability (HRV) - objective indicator of neural state, i.e. parasympathetic to sympathetic balance, via smartphone app (HRV4Training) and participant upload of recorded data shared with researcher.
Timepoint [2] 323959 0
Observed 14 data points - 1x daily where possible, up to 14 measurements.
Primary outcome [3] 326714 0
Observed: self-report via online survey and interview one-on-one(for subset of cohorts). A record of participants' movement practice and health habits at the time of the study.
Consideration of practice tenure/frequency as a variable: Explored to determine any relationship between practice tenure/frequency and health habits.
