RULES & REGULATIONS FOR YOGA ARTISTIC CATEGORY

Artistic Yoga consists of a series of yoga postures that create an uninterrupted cascade of asanas. Artistic yoga incorporates the use of music, costumes, good taste, natural art, rhythm of execution, and breath work. The routine should be performed to tastefully selected music. The postures are connected through the use of intercalary postures, which create a smooth transition between two postures with minimal weight displacement and time. In artistic yoga, it is essential to express the joy of movement. The athlete should strive to achieve a state of empathy and connection with the referees and the audience. The success of a yoga athlete's performance depends on their ability to gracefully execute asanas with creative expression. Creativity and individual expression combined with beautiful asanas are key to practicing Artistic Yoga.
