Quick answer
yoga.ayush.gov.in/yoga-sangam is the official Yoga Sangam portal run by the Ministry of Ayush for International Day of Yoga 2026. Organisations such as schools, colleges, offices, NGOs and resident welfare associations register their yoga events on it, coordinate participation, upload photos and reports, and receive a Ministry of Ayush e-certificate. For IDY 2026 the relaunched portal has already drawn well over a lakh registered organisers.

What is the Yoga Sangam portal
Yoga Sangam is one of the flagship initiatives of International Day of Yoga. Instead of relying only on one large central event, it invites communities across the country to organise their own yoga sessions on 21 June and connect them through a single national platform. The portal at yoga.ayush.gov.in/yoga-sangam is the digital backbone of that effort.
Through the portal, an organisation can register an event, share its location, follow the Common Yoga Protocol, and later upload photographs and a short report. For 2026 the portal was relaunched during the countdown to Yoga Day and quickly crossed more than 1.7 lakh registered organisers, which gives a sense of the scale.
Alongside the main portal, the Ministry has built related tools, such as a Yoga Park portal to support dedicated yoga spaces, so the campaign is not only about a single morning but also about lasting infrastructure. The relaunched Yoga Sangam page lets organisers manage registration, coordination, photo uploads and reporting through one login, which keeps a nationwide effort organised without a pile of paperwork.
Who should register
Registration is meant for anyone willing to host or coordinate a session, not just large institutions.
How to register on yoga.ayush.gov.in/yoga-sangam
The organiser registration follows a clear sequence. Keep your organisation details and a phone number handy for OTP verification.
The Common Yoga Protocol and the session
Yoga Sangam sessions follow the Common Yoga Protocol, a standard sequence designed by the Ministry of Ayush so that events everywhere share the same structure. It runs for roughly 45 minutes and moves from prayer and loosening exercises into standing, sitting and lying postures, then breathing practices and a short meditation. Because the sequence is fixed and beginner friendly, a large group can follow along together even with mixed experience.
Sessions are usually held on the morning of 21 June, commonly between about 6:30 AM and 7:45 AM, in schools, offices, community halls and open spaces. As an organiser, your job is local mobilisation, basic logistics, sticking to the protocol on the day, and posting a short report afterwards. Partner organisations handle these pieces while staying connected to the national platform.
How to get the certificate
Participating organisations receive a Ministry of Ayush e-certificate recognising their contribution. Individuals who join sessions can typically download a participation e-certificate from the portal once the event details are confirmed. If you also want a personal commitment certificate, take the yoga pledge certificate on MyGov, which is a separate document.
Why Yoga Sangam matters
Yoga Sangam reflects a shift in how public wellness campaigns work. Rather than a single broadcast event, it spreads ownership to thousands of local groups while keeping them linked through one platform. Its success is measured less by a single crowd figure and more by how many communities take part.
To understand the bigger picture and this year’s focus, read our explainer on the International Yoga Day 2026 theme, Yoga for Healthy Ageing. Together, the theme and the portal aim to turn one morning into a nationwide, people led celebration.
If you are an organiser, a little planning goes a long way. Confirm your venue and a backup indoor space in case of rain, brief a volunteer to lead the protocol or arrange a screen to follow the official session, and keep a phone ready to take a few clear photographs for your report. Small touches, such as mats or towels for guests and a water point, make the morning comfortable and encourage people to return to the practice after the day is over.
