How do I convince my friend that yoga isn't a competitive sport?

by NCReedplayer

Question by Ashely Corner on "Yoga":

She is convinced that a sport is anything where you lift your leg above a certain point. I have told her a sport is a physical activity that you compete in but she doesn't listen. Basketball players don't lift their legs up to a certain point but it is still a sport (the certain point is above your waist). She says that competitive cheerleading (like competition type stuff) isn't a sport but yoga is because in yoga you lift up your leg. You lift up your leg in cheerleading too but that isn't why it's a sport.
