Yoga is a physical and mental practice that promotes the wellbeing of the whole organism, although there are many types of yoga focused on different things, like for example, the type of meditation to which this destined (Vipassana, zazen, transcendental, Kundalini, etc.) according to the Type of meditation to which it belongs is related to the intensity of activity it requires.
While one exercises the body during the practice, we cannot consider it as a sport because on the one hand the sport focuses on the competitiveness, the effort and also works with a greater intensity, which can cause injuries, to the opposite of what happens with yoga that is a totally different discipline because it respects the limits and doesn’t compare with other practitioners, it doesn’t seek a goal.
Although it is not classified as a sport in itself it is a good exercise that helps not only to feel calmer, but also brings benefits for mental and physical health.
