The International Yoga Federation (IYF) organizes World Yoga Championships to promote Yoga as a sport, a lifestyle, and a holistic system of well-being. These competitions serve as effective platforms to raise awareness, enhance the status of Yoga worldwide, and inspire yoga lovers of all ages and backgrounds.
Spreading Yoga Across Borders
World Yoga Championships provide an inclusive and accessible platform that engages participants from over 210 countries. By transforming yoga into a celebrated and participatory sport, the International Yoga Federation (IYF) introduces yoga to new communities and cultures, dispelling misconceptions and fostering broader global engagement. Competitions serve as a gateway for individuals who may not be familiar with yoga, allowing them to explore yoga in an energetic, creative, and structured manner.
Elevating Yoga as a Contemporary Discipline
Through standardization, regulation, and professional structuring of competitions, the International Yoga Federation (IYF) contributes to the recognition of yoga not only as a wellness practice but also as a respected international sport. This sporting format encourages governments, sports federations, educational institutions, and Olympic organizations to acknowledge yoga as an integral part of national and international athletic systems.
Inspiring Personal Growth and Excellence
World Yoga Competitions motivate yoga lovers to refine their techniques, enhance their discipline, and establish personal goals. Participants engage deeply with both the physical and philosophical aspects of yoga, improving their strength, flexibility, focus, and mindfulness. The preparation for competition often fosters a more dedicated and meaningful practice, which, in turn, enriches their long-term health and awareness.
Building Community and Fostering Global Unity
These events unite practitioners, instructors, and supporters from around the world, fostering a sense of community, cultural exchange, and mutual respect. World Yoga Championships exemplify peaceful competition, where the ultimate reward is not merely victory, but connection and shared celebration. This embodies the deeper values of yoga: unity, compassion, and inner transformation.
Promoting Visibility and Public Awareness
By organizing high-profile international events—both online and in-person—IYF ensures that yoga remains prominent in the public eye, particularly among younger generations. Media coverage, digital streaming, and social sharing of competitions integrate yoga into everyday conversations and inspire new individuals to explore its benefits. These initiatives combat misinformation and modernize yoga’s image while maintaining its integrity.
Aligning with UN Goals and Sports for Development
The IYF World Yoga Championships support the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in the areas of health (SDG 3), gender equality (SDG 5), quality education (SDG 4), peaceful societies (SDG 16), and youth empowerment through sport (SDG 17). By organizing yoga as an educational, peaceful, and developmental activity, IYF directly contributes to global well-being and capacity building.
In summary, the World Yoga Championships organized by the IYF are not merely competitive events; they serve as platforms for transformation, education, and international harmony. These championships uplift individuals, inspire communities, and further the mission of yoga in the modern world.

What is doping?
Institutions such as WADA and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) define 'Doping' as the use of prohibited drugs or methods by an athlete to improve training and sporting results.
Doping is prohibited in sports. This is because doping and medication abuse present a considerable risk to health for athletes and give them an unfair advantage over other athletes, which goes against the principle of fair play that is embedded in the sport.
Athletes’ responsibilities about anti-doping both in and out of competition:
- Compliance with the IYF’s Anti-Doping Rules and relevant policies
- Always being available for sample collection (urine or blood)
- Ensuring that no prohibited substances enters one’s body and no prohibited method used,
- Making sure that any treatment is not prohibited according to the Prohibited List.

WADA Anti-Doping Code
The Code is the fundamental and universal document upon which the World Anti-Doping Program in sports is based. The purpose of the Code is to advance anti-doping efforts through universal harmonization of core anti-doping elements
Links to key anti-doping documents:
- Link to WADA Anti-Doping Code
- Link to WADA List of Prohibited Substances and Methods
Why is doping banned in sports?
For an athlete or coach, the use of doping substances or doping methods to enhance the performance is completely wrong according to the spirit of the sport.
Drug misuse to get more advantage is unfair to other athletes competing in the sport and also can be harmful to an athlete's health. It damages the value of sport. To achieve integrity and fairness in the sport, it is critical for athletes to stay free from prohibited substances.
Education about Anti-Doping Code

National federations should also adopt the WADA Code to remain accredited by IYF. An education program will be also available for them. IYF and National Federations will work together on this subject to get support from athletes and coaches in your country.
IYF anti-doping rules apply to athletes, competitors, and their support staff participating in the competitions organized under IYF or any of its national member organisations.
