Amid intense competition, Ahana impressed the judges with her technical precision and composure, securing two gold medals for her outstanding performance.

Her track record reflects years of disciplined training and a deep commitment to the art and sport of yogasana.
Behind her success lies her relentless hard work and the dedicated guidance of her coach, Rakhi Sarkar. Her training focuses not only on physical strength and flexibility but also on mental discipline and focus, which are crucial aspects of competitive yogasana. Coaches and experts often emphasize that mental stability plays a decisive role in high-level yogasana competitions and Ahana’s performance stands as a clear example of this approach.
In recent years, yogasana has gained recognition as a competitive sport, moving beyond its traditional perception as only a wellness practice. National and international federations are working to standardise rules and expand platforms for athletes, creating new opportunities for young talents. India’s strong performances in Asian and global yoga events have further strengthened hopes that the sport may gain wider international recognition in the future.
