Sažetak
As a complete life science that has emerged in India many thousands of years ago, we could say that yoga is the oldest personality development system in the world, encompassing the body, mind and spirit. Emerging to the west, yoga has taken different forms and understandings that are different from its original and authentic essence. One of these considerations is that yoga is a pure form of fitness activity, even a sport. In the Republic of Croatia, government (the Ministry of Science and Education) and non-government institutions that are in charge of sports in general consider yoga as a form of sports activity. The real question is can we consider yoga as a sport, according to the definition of sports in the Croatian Sports Act, but also can we consider yoga as a sport in general?
