Yoga is a Sport

Marizo stated that "yoga is a lot of stretching". Here's the thing: it isn't. Yes, yoga does help you stretch; although, you aren't stretching like you are trying to warm yourself up before a workout, or trying to stretch your muscles after a workout. In fact, yoga is your workout! It helps keep you in shape, and makes you feel better with your body and yourself.

Stretching poses may be hard, but the thing is, yoga is NOT stretching!! It is a type of exercise. If yoga was just "stretching", then they would not have come up with the term "yoga".

Yes, yoga is about relaxing your mind and soul, but you can easily make yoga competitive. If you are a beginner in yoga, then the main goal for all of your yoga classes/sessions should be to meditate and relax your mind and soul. If you are someone who is extremely advanced in yoga, your goal -- for some cases -- will not be to relax your brain and mind, but to compete!
