This translational gap is lengthened for specific EBI and populations, such as yoga for people of color, with higher weight, or who live in rural areas. Yoga principles have positively impacted myriad populations and outcomes and align with scientific rigor, but misinformation persists. Applying a translational lens to input from under-represented yoga end-users may speed the gap.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Purpose<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To examine how underrepresented yoga end-users perceive yoga with consideration to yoga associations, facilitators, and barriers.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We utilized mixed methods in a cross-sectional survey with a large, diverse sample to explore yoga end-user input for communicating yoga-based health information and interventions.

Of more than 5000 meaning units, we present a subset of data (31% of total data) that includes associations of yoga (e.g. physical components) as well as present and future yoga facilitators (e.g. benefits) and barriers (e.g. lack of belonging in yoga spaces).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Findings from end-users provided insights on how to comprehensively communicate behavioral medicine evidence using clear, inclusive language and representative imagery.
