7th Nordic Championship of Yogasana Sports 2026

---

Yoga Asana competitions originated in India hundreds of years ago and are still being conducted there today. SYSF is now bringing this spirit of healthy competition to the Nordics. We believe that the sport of Yoga Asana will inspire many practitioners to improve their practices and encourage newcomers to take up the practice of yoga and the sport of Yoga Asana.

Each Athlete must complete 6 optional postures within 3 minutes. The Athlete must choose 1 posture from each of the 6 compulsory posture groups demonstrating the basic range of motion of the spine and the skills of the Athlete:

• Backbends
