It helps you become more aware of your body, your breathing and your mind. When you see young people taking Yogasana seriously as a sport, it is encouraging because these are habits that can stay with them for life,” she said.

Deepak Tijori, who was also present at the championship, appreciated the spirit of the participants and the larger message behind the event. “There is something very inspiring about watching people come together with so much discipline and dedication. Yogasana is not only about flexibility or physical strength; it also teaches patience, focus and consistency,” he said.
