Competitive yoga sparks fierce backlash and debate
Original: ‘This is horrifying. This is madness’: the row over competitive yoga
Competitive yoga is facing a storm of criticism, with critics calling the idea of judging yoga as a sport 'horrifying' and 'madness'. The debate centres on whether a practice rooted in meditation and spirituality should be turned into a scored, competitive discipline, with yoga communities split over whether competition undermines its essence or helps it gain wider recognition.
Why now: A controversy over turning yoga into a competitive sport has reignited debate about the practice's spiritual roots versus its commercialisation.
