Yoga Asana competitions have Indian roots in ancient and modern exhibitions of physical and mental strength, flexibility, and self-mastery. Today, yoga sport federations around the world conduct championships to inspire yoga practice. USA Yoga Federation sponsors regional qualifiers and an annual national championship.

USA Yoga’s mission is to promote the practice of yoga as a means to improve the physical health and mental well-being of people of all ages and fitness levels, and to advance yoga asana as a sport.

With your participation as a donor, an athlete, judge, coach, audience member or sponsor, you advance yoga as a sport. Your gifts and membership create educational and outreach programs, yoga championships, and scholarships to yogis. Your participation provides athletes the opportunity to demonstrate competitive excellence and to inspire others to participate and advance in their own practice.
