GLOBAL YOGA REGISTRY
A unified global registry system for yoga practitioners, instructors, and schools.
THE ORIGIN OF YOGA
Yoga is one of the oldest living traditions of human discipline. It emerged from classical systems of philosophy and practice that explored the relationship between body, breath, mind, and awareness.
It emerged from classical systems of philosophy and practice that explored the relationship between body, breath, mind, and awareness.
Over time, yoga evolved across regions, teachers, and lineages — developing into many forms:
What We Offer
Contemplative and meditative traditions
Practices cultivating awareness, inner stillness, and mental clarity.
Breath-centered disciplines
Techniques using breath to balance body and mind.
Physical preparatory systems
Practices preparing the body for health and yoga.
Modern global adaptations
Contemporary yoga forms adapted for diverse lifestyles worldwide.
Today, yoga is practiced worldwide — in homes, studios, hospitals, retreats, and digital platforms.
But with this global growth came fragmentation:
no unified identity system
no global registry of practitioners or teachers
no transparent institutional structure
The International Yoga Council exists in response to this gap.
WHAT IYC IS
The International Yoga Council (IYC) is a global yoga registry system. It provides:
Identity Registration for Practitioners
Registration for recognized yoga practitioners.
Verification for Instructors
Confirms instructors’ qualifications and professional credentials.
Structured Listing for Yoga Schools
Organized directory of recognized yoga schools.
A Searchable Global Database of the Yoga Ecosystem
Worldwide searchable directory of yoga professionals and institutions.
IYC does not define yoga.
It does not regulate yoga practice.
It does not function as a certification authority.
It records yoga as it exists globally.
