It has been declared as a competitive sport in the country in 2015. The practice of asana can be very physically challenging, and the words “effort and ease” are mentioned in the Yoga Sutras: Sthiram Sukham Asanam, yoga posture is an expression between effort and ease.

Yes, if someone considers Aasanas as Yog, and Aasanas are now a part of competitive sports. No, if someone understands Yog as it is. (Aasanas are part/aid on the path of Yog, not the ultimate goal, but are important{Hath yoga practicenors} to reach that goal)

Yoga in my opinion is a way of life. Yoga in its entirety is not just the asanas you do on the mat but it is the saatvic life you lead that makes you a yogi. It is the adherence of yamas and niyamas in your daily life.
