First International Yoga Championship-Ghosh Cup Semifinals

LOS ANGELES – JULY 12: Noriko Moser, of Pasadena, California, competes in the semifinal round of the 2003 International Yoga Championship-Ghosh Cup July 12, 2003 in Los Angeles, California. Since the early 1900s there have been yoga competitions staged in India by the National Federation of India and the All India Yoga Competition. The World Yoga Society in Calcutta has continued the tradition for ten years and competitions have been held in other countries, but never in the U.S. The International Yoga Championship-Ghosh Cup Finals will be held in Los Angeles in September with judges coming from India.
