ZINAL2026

Congress In Zinal

The European Union Of Yoga annually holds the International Yoga Congress in the beautiful Swiss Alps, in the resort town of Zinal. The Congress has been held since 1972 and currently brings together participants — researchers and yoga practitioners — from 24 countries.

Yoga teachers from different countries conduct classes and lectures, presenting the results of their yoga research. The congress is a space for communication and exchange of experience among yoga practitioners: joint lunches, group discussions and round tables with teachers.

Each year, the theme of the congress is announced, which determines the topics of lectures and workshops.

ZINAL 2026

Embark on a transformative journey at the Congress on ‘Bhāva & Rasa: Emotions in Yoga’. Yoga does not suppress emotion; it transforms it. Longing becomes devotion, peace becomes recognition, passion becomes clarity. In the aim of the path, all bhāvas converge into the supreme rasa: ānanda, the bliss of unity.

Event Timing: 16 – 21 August 2026

Event Address: Zinal, Val d’Anniviers, Switzerland
