International Yoga Sports Federation

Yoga Sports are athletic competitions demonstrated by the beauty of demanding yoga postures and through the dedication, endurance and unyielding determination of the competitors. IYSF is working with national member federations across the globe to promote Yoga Sports for the betterment of people's health. Increased awareness of the sport of Yoga Asana will encourage existing practitioners to sharpen their skills through training, dedication, and devotion to the sport, and will inspire new practitioners. IYSF encourages yoga practitioners of all lineages, all ages, genders, and cultural backgrounds, to participate at a competition level. IYSF aims to govern this organization with the sole mission of promoting, unifying, and increasing interest in Yoga Asana globally. It is part of the Sports Accord - an umbrella organisation for both Olympic and non-Olympic international sports federations as well as organisers of international sporting events.
