Congress in Zinal 2024
Prana, the force of life
The force of life
Prana is the life force which animates all living beings. It emanates from Atman and follows consciousness as a shadow follows man. Prana operates in our body in five different ways, through the five prana vayus, energizing all its functions.
In the beautiful setting of the Anniviers Valley, the 2024 Zinal congress will explore different ways of working with prana.
Yoga teachers from different countries will offer classes and lectures.
There will be places to have lunch together, presentations of yoga studies, group discussions and round tables.
For more information about the classes please click on the 🔗 on teacher’s photo.

Zinal, a charismatic mountain village in the Val de Zinal - the peaceful valley in Swiss Alps, providing ideal conditions for practicing yoga. It is a highlight of a year for me. Undisturbed by “the noisy World”, I am able to dive in the practice and deepen my experience. High concentration of unique teachers and exceptionally knowledgeable scholars offers an inspiration, answers to questions and navigation tools aiding to identify right directions on your path

Every time we have come to Zinal since 2011, we have had moments of grace and shared gifts, whether in the workshops and conferences generously offered by the speakers, or during the convivial evenings during which the participants gather for music, to dance together or to discover the federations that make the European Union of Yoga come alive.

Congress in Zinal is not only an event to do yoga, but it is also a possibility to experience the history of yoga in Europe, the only place outside of India.

“Jocelyn and I have attended the UEY congress in Zinal since 2000. We have been amazed by this magical place and the quality of the performances given by speakers from all over the world, with a different guest of honor every year.
It's a convivial, rejuvenating place where you can meditate and meet wonderful people. Every year, it's different and always just as rich. We even invited some of our students to discover the congress. It was a memorable experience for them. Thanks to the organizers!
We've missed 3 seasons in 23 years.
At the end of August, the whole of Zinal goes yoga! Thanks to Gérard BLITZ!

The EUY annual event in Zinal, it is for me as the sweetest candy I can give myself. Both, as a yoga teacher who appreciates that all of us are there, sharing the ancient brilliant knowledge, from all different schools and also as a nature fan that gets the location's experience through all my senses. What a gift we created to ourselves, having shared this Zinal week for 50 years now. Hope to meet u there, Iris, Israel (celebrating 19th times in EUY Zinal events, but who counts)

Few events can proudly celebrate a 50th anniversary. The International Yoga Congress in Zinal is one of them !
It's a proud moment for the organisers, and a great pleasure for Anniviers and Zinal in particular. Over the years, many friendships and collaborations have been forged between Zinal and the thousands of yogis that we are so happy to welcome to our little paradise every year.
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Roland and his team, as well as all the participants, for their trust and fidelity, and I wish the international yoga congress a long life!
