USA Yoga is a non-profit organization committed to developing and promoting Yoga Sport.

USA Yoga, an independent member of the International Yoga Sport Federation, is a membership-based organization led by a volunteer board of directors.

USA Yoga offers educational programs, training for judges and yoga sport coaches, qualifier events leading to the US National Yoga Sport Championship where medalists qualify for the International Yoga Asana Cup.  

The rules for championship competition are developed and reviewed by expert teachers and coaches from around the world who serve on the IYSF Technical Committee. The rules are designed to reward competitors for technique and presentation. Successful competitors achieve mastery of physical strength, stamina, balance, flexibility, breath and concentration. Qualifiers are open to yoga practitioners from any yoga school or lineage.  All are encouraged to participate. The paths are many, the sport is one.

Your participation as an athlete, coach, judge, audience member or donor inspires others to practice yoga. With your involvement, you show that Yoga Asana is beneficial for the physical and mental health of all practitioners - children, teens, adults and seniors. You know that Yoga Asana will encourage existing practitioners to sharpen their skills through training, dedication, and devotion to the sport, and will inspire new practitioners to begin a practice which leads to a healthier and happier life. Thank you!
