Reading the local paper this morning(yes, an actual paper that I had IN MY HANDS), I noticed that Yoga has become a competitive sport as is evidenced by a local woman winning the International Women's Championship at the 2010 Yoga Asana Championships held in LA this past February.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought yoga was an intropsective discipline allowing one to become one with ones body and mind. Isn't a Yoga Competition an oxymoron? What next? Full contact meditiation?
I'm confused.

Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

Re: I'm Confused
The only time Yoga confuses me is when he talks. I really have a hard time following him.
I am fortunate to have a great job that feeds my family well, but music feeds my soul.
