Overview

Mission

USA Yogas mission is to promote the practice of yoga as a means to improve the physical health and mental well-being of people of all ages and fitness levels, and to advance yoga asana as a sport.

What it reported doing in 2024

USA Yoga presented six competitor events in FY2025: Live national qualifying events Berkeley, CA; Clarksville, IN; and Portsmouth, NH as well as two live virtual qualifiers culminating in the National Yoga Asana Championship in State College, PA in August 2025.We qualified 146 athletes for national competition. 108 athletes registered. Other events and workshops included judge and coaches certification workshops (four sessions), a free rules review online for 89 athletes and coaches, and a series of monthly member classes, accessible for free for members and a nominal fee for non-members.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 61% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
