How can I prevent yawning during prayers? I reverted 8 months ago and have been performing prayers regularly. My Muslim friend suggests it is Satan, and I agree, but I need a solution.

It may not be Shaytan. You would need some evidence of that. It may be because, when you pray, sometimes you suspend the actively thinking part of your mind. Your mind relaxes in some sense. If you feel a yawn coming try to slow down in your actions slightly, close your mouth, breathe slowly in through your nose and regulate your breathing before continuing.
