YOGA & AWARENESS FESTIVALS

The International Yoga & Awareness Festivals are global gatherings coordinated by the International Yoga Federation (IYF) in cooperation with partner organizations, yoga schools, and volunteer networks worldwide. Each festival combines yoga practice with educational seminars aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with a focus on peace, climate action, health, gender equality, and social inclusion.

IYF provides the global coordination framework and thematic guidance, while local member organizations and partners manage implementation, logistics, and funding on a voluntary and non-profit basis.

Through the “Seminars for Global Peace and Unity,” participants from diverse backgrounds engage in dialogue, guided practices, and shared learning, exploring how inner awareness can foster social harmony and sustainable peace. These festivals inspire connection, compassion, and collective action in support of the United Nations 2030 Agenda.
