A team of Yoga athletes from the United States is heading to India to participate in the maiden World Yogasana Championship to be held in Ahmedabad from June 4 to 8.

 

The United States Yogasana Sports Federation (USYSF), in collaboration with the United States Yoga Association (USYA) and World Yogasana, has announced the official Team USA delegation for the championship. Yoga Association USA and USYSF founder and president Balwinder Singh will lead the 11-member US contingent at the event. The team, heading to India, was selected following quarterfinal trials held in Connecticut in April. Athletes in the delegation will compete in youth and senior categories, with participants ranging in age from 10 to 55 years.

 

The event is expected to bring together athletes, officials, and representatives from over 60 countries, advancing Yogasana as a globally recognised competitive sport while fostering international unity, wellness, and cultural exchange. Competitors will participate in seven official Yogasana categories, including artistic and rhythmic yoga divisions, where participants will be assessed on strength, flexibility, balance, endurance and precision under global standardised judging criteria.
