Our Story
Building a National Home for Yogasana
United States Yogasana Sports Federation Inc. (USYSF) was founded to give Yogasana — the practice of yoga postures performed with athletic precision, strength, and grace — a structured, recognized place in American competitive sport.
What began as a small community of practitioners and coaches has grown into a nationwide federation spanning 50 states, with sanctioned championships, certified officials, and development programs for athletes of every age and level.
We believe Yogasana builds more than flexibility and strength — it builds discipline, focus, and community. Our work is guided by that belief in everything from grassroots outreach to national championship standards.
