I saw this on Wimp, so yes, it did work. The skill is admirable, but IMHO, the idea of a yoga championship strikes me as bizarre. How can you win or lose in yoga? "My quest for inner peace is more successful than yours, so there!"

@yugandali Right, I agree with you as far as the true spirit of Yoga, especially original forms such as Kundalini. But the postures are a very physical aspect, so if you were to remove just the postures from the practice and compare your abilities, it becomes pretty inspiring from a purely physical standpoint -- so while this isn't something to strive for solely, I think it's fine to just look at it from a spectacle standpoint.
