At Patanjali International Yoga Foundation (PIYF), yoga is more than a practice—it's a way of life. Known for hosting remarkable international yoga events, PIYF draws seekers, practitioners, and teachers from all corners of the globe. These gatherings aren’t just events—they’re transformational experiences, designed to nurture wellness, self-awareness, and spiritual connection.
Held in culturally rich, spiritually significant locations around the world, each event offers an immersive journey into the heart of authentic yoga. It’s not just about perfecting postures. It’s about deepening your relationship with yourself—body, mind, and soul.
What makes PIYF’s international events so special is the diverse and inspiring lineup of programs. You’ll find workshops, talks, and masterclasses led by respected yoga masters, experienced teachers, and philosophical scholars. From classical Hatha and dynamic Vinyasa to Ashtanga and therapeutic yoga, every participant finds something that speaks to their path.
But it doesn’t stop there. These events also offer the rare opportunity to dive into the philosophy and deeper meaning of yoga—studying timeless scriptures like the Yoga Sutras and the Bhagavad Gita, and exploring the ethical and spiritual foundations that shape the practice.
Beyond asanas, participants learn the power of pranayama, meditation, and mindfulness—tools to calm the nervous system, quiet the mind, and bring clarity and peace into everyday life.
Above all, PIYF’s events foster a sense of global unity and shared purpose. People from different cultures and backgrounds come together, connected by their love for yoga and a desire to live more consciously. These are spaces of genuine connection, where lifelong friendships are formed and wisdom is exchanged without boundaries.
Through every chant, breath, and moment of stillness, participants don’t just grow—they contribute to the global spread of yoga’s healing power. And in doing so, they become part of PIYF’s mission: to inspire health, happiness, and spiritual awakening across the world.
“Yoga does not just unite the body and breath—it unites people. Across nations, across beliefs, across borders.”

Sage Patanjali
Patanjali describes the third limb of yoga, which is the asana, as "Sthiram, Sukham Asanam" - Mean asana the position should be comfortable and stable, that is all the asana is about. Because "comfort" is such a misused word, maybe a closer word to "sukha" in English would be "ease."
