Jazak Allah khair for your question. No is it not as far as I am aware. It can be related to normal brain function namely lack of oxygen but as mentioned in hadith that yawning is also from shaytan and he laughs at the children of Adam when they yawn so its better to prevent yourself from yawning. But if you must yawn then cover your mouth with the back of your left hand (as opposed to the palm).


Also before you start your salah seek refuge in Allah from shaytan by reading this dua 

A'oozu billah hiss Sami un A'leemi min ash shaytanir rajeem min hamzihi wa nafsihi wa nafkhi 


(I take refuge with Allah, the All-Seeing, the All-Knowing from the accursed shaytan: from his madness, arrogance and sexual thoughts)


Jazak Allah khair
