Mindfulness meditation practices have become an intervention of focus in the literature, but little attention has been drawn to the effectiveness of this practice as a single execution in an online format. Several approaches were employed to capture the effects of a mindful breathing exercise and yoga experience on working memory capacity. Through several analyses, they found that though there was no significant difference between working memory capacity scores before and after this breathing exercise, and mindfulness and yoga experience had no influence on working memory performance. Although these findings were not statistically significant, there are several trends to note and implications for this research within the body of literature.
