Yoga is not a sport. Yoga came from sanskrite word yuj mean union. Yoga is the union of the soul with God. Is liberation or moksha from reincarnation cycles.
Classic yoga or raja or ashtanga yoga have 8 limbs- yama, niyama, asana,pranayama, prathyahara, dharana, dhyana, samadhi. To be able to practice asana u must follow first yama and niyama. u must change urself first, that mean to be pure in thoughts and body ( celibacy, vegetarian diet, no anger, no hate, etc). Yoga is the path to enlightment, not a sport. Namaste
