About the Commonwealth Yogasana Sports Federation (CYSF)

The journey of the Commonwealth Yogasana Sports Federation began with a vision to unite yoga athletes, teachers, and federations across the Commonwealth countries under one banner. Inspired by the growing Yogasana sports movement and the need for international collaboration, CYSF was founded under the leadership of Dr. Aman Sood and dedicated yoga pioneers who have been working passionately to promote Yogasana for decades.

Since its inception, CYSF has evolved into a vibrant international organization, representing national federations and yoga institutions across the Commonwealth and beyond. The Federation is officially established to promote, regulate, and develop Yogasana as a sport while preserving its cultural, spiritual, and health-related values.

Today, CYSF unites more than 20 National Yogasana Federations and growing, including member countries from Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Caribbean. Together, these federations work tirelessly to develop Yogasana sports at the grassroots and international levels.

As the governing body for Yogasana sports within the Commonwealth, CYSF:

• Organizes and oversees international competitions, including the Commonwealth Yogasana Championships.

• Establishes the official Yogasana rules and regulations, ensuring fair play and unity across nations.

• Supports federations in their recognition and registration processes with national sports authorities.

• Promotes social, cultural, educational, and humanitarian values through Yogasana.

CYSF continues to grow as a global platform that connects communities, empowers athletes, and strengthens the ancient tradition of yoga by shaping it into a recognized international sport.

Together, we are building the future of Yogasana sports.
