Who We Are

National Yoga Council is an autonomous, independent non-profit organisation dedicated to advancing the practice and education of yoga at every level. We work nationwide as a collaborative platform for yoga teachers, studios, researchers, volunteers and everyday people who want a healthier life.

As a self-governing body, we set transparent teaching standards, support continuous training for educators, and create credible professional opportunities for yoga teachers across India and abroad.

Because we work independently, we answer only to our mission and our community: healthy people, empowered teachers, and a country brought closer through yoga.

Why National Yoga Council Exists

Yoga should reach everyone

Good health habits should not depend on where a person lives or what they can afford. We work so that yoga reaches families in cities, towns and villages alike.

Teachers deserve a livelihood

Many skilled yoga teachers struggle to find students, recognition and a stable income. We give them a platform, education and a community to grow with.

Students need someone they can trust

With a verifiable registry and a clear Code of Ethics, students and employers can be confident about who is teaching them.

Our Mission

Four goals guide everything we do.

Our Vision

To be a trusted, independent council recognised for integrity, scientific grounding and inclusivity, where yoga is accessible and safe for every household, and respected as a dignified profession for every teacher.

Yoga for Every Person, at Every Level

We do not limit yoga to one style or one kind of practitioner. Whether someone is trying yoga for the first time or has practised for decades, there is a place for them here. Our programs welcome people of all backgrounds, ages and physical abilities, without discrimination.

Beginners Advanced practitioners Children and students Working professionals Senior citizens Women and families Rural communities Traditional and modern styles
