NPR, Morning Edition, June 04, 2008 – India’s army conducted a three-month study in which soldiers did more yoga poses than traditional exercise.

Cut-throat, competitive yoga? No, it can’t be. April Baer covers a story on an Oregon-based competitive league of yoga. To compete, each practitioner enters a silent hall and performs 7 Asanas.

Organizers with the competitive yoga movement are trying to win over the Olympic committee in time to join the 2020 Summer Olympic games.
