What is Yoga Sport?

Yoga Sports is a discipline that focuses on the physical aspects of yoga, emphasising strength, flexibility, and balance. The sport combines the traditional poses of yoga with the thrill of competition, offering athletes of all ages the chance to push their limits and grow while connecting with a like-minded community.
