The practice of Yoga has become a widespread phenomenon in recent years. However, there are quite a few misconceptions about the ancient form of relaxation and self-transformation.

Yoga is a sport. Although many people like to think yoga is a sport due to it’s physical nature, it is by no means an athletic sport. Yoga is not a casual past time that you can just take up as a hobby. It takes a lot of hard work and determination. It is the art and science of physical, mental and spiritual development. The stretches and postures exercised in yoga are meant to heal. So no, yoga is not a sport.
