Why does IYF organize Global Calls?

To create an inclusive, borderless space for collective practice and learning. Global Calls enable simultaneous participation from multiple countries, reducing geographical and economic barriers through an online format. IYF provides global coordination and thematic guidance; implementation and funding are handled locally by members and sponsors.

What happens during a Global Call?

• Guided yoga practices (breath, asana, relaxation) and short awareness talks.
• Theme-based micro sessions (peace, health, education, environment, inclusion).
• Interactive Q&A and community sharing to strengthen global solidarity.

How are Global Calls reported?

Each call is documented with a brief Activity Note (date, theme, facilitators, participation), a visual summary (1–3 graphics/photos), and—where relevant—links to partner pages. Annual highlights are consolidated in the IYF Annual Activity & Impact Report.

How do we encourage participation?

• Open and free access — volunteer-led sessions and multilingual moderation.
• Global outreach via IYF members, partner networks, and social media announcements.
• Post-event sharing of visuals and key takeaways to inspire continued engagement.
