IYF CATEGORIES
The International Yoga Federation (IYF) designed eight championship categories to reflect the multidimensional nature of yoga — as both a sport and an art.These categories were created to offer an inclusive, creative, and engaging experience for participants of all backgrounds, ensuring that everyone can find a space to express their unique yoga journey.
Each category highlights a different aspect of yoga practice — from precision and discipline to creativity, rhythm, and teamwork — illustrating that yoga is not limited to physical performance, but is a living art that unites body, mind, and spirit.
By combining athletic discipline with artistic expression, IYF’s eight-category system transforms yoga competitions into global celebrations of unity, creativity, and human potential.
