EUY Mission
The EUY’s mission statement is:
To be an outstanding organisation, promoting and protecting the essence and authority of the teachings of yoga as well as upholding the spiritual maturity of yoga training in Europe
The EUY provides a forum for its European Yoga bodies to share Yogic values and share these values with all who are interested in Yoga, through the EUY member organisations.
In order to achieve this aim, EUY has defined its value system and also a framework for Yoga Teacher Training courses. It advocates the principle of unity in diversity, while respecting the defined value system. The EUY welcomes all European and other Yoga organisations with similar interests.
