The Indian Yoga Association (IYA) is organizing an International Conference on “Celebrating Diversity in Yoga” on 29-30 May 2026 at Kaivalyadhama Yoga Institute, Lonavala, Maharashtra.

The conference is envisioned as a distinguished gathering of Yoga masters, scholars, institutional leaders, researchers, and international representatives to reflect on the richness of Yoga’s diverse traditions and its growing relevance in the modern world. It aims to celebrate the plurality of Yogic lineages while encouraging dialogue, collaboration, and mutual respect across schools, institutions, and cultures.

It will also spotlight Yoga’s expanding role in health, mental well-being, education, and social harmony, while reaffirming Yoga as a universal heritage rooted in India’s civilizational wisdom.
