What Is Artistic Yoga

Artistic Yoga is the brainchild of Himalayan master Bharat Thakur. This is a unique and powerful style of Yoga designed to develop and cultivate a beautiful, healthy body. This is an entirely new concept of Yoga designed to energize the body and quieten the mind that makes your Yoga experience even more intense, without tiring or taxing you in any way. With the help of ancient Yogic techniques that include a set of asanas (poses) pranayamas (breathing exercises), bandhas (locks), kriyas (cleansing techniques) and partner stretches, together with cardiovascular training, the teacher helps students cultivate core strength and develop inner awareness and peace.

The practices of Artistic Yoga are designed to work at all levels – at the physical level, where strength, flexibility and endurance are the main goals, to the mental and spiritual levels, where awareness and alertness are developed through meditation techniques. It was primarily designed for laypeople and is suitable for all, regardless of age, size, strength, weight or flexibility levels. However, it has been found that this style particularly suits people with an artistic bend and hence attracts artists of all genres including a horde of writers, painters, musicians and actors. Artistic Yoga, if practiced in the true spirit of Yoga, works on all aspects of fitness - cardiovascular endurance, flexibility, strength and mental health.

This is a well researched, innovative style of Yoga that helps people deal effectively with acute modern day stress levels, obesity and a lack of energy. It employs a variety of practices to bring about a complete physical and mental transformation. It has innovative techniques to get rid of physical and mental stiffness and enhance core flexibility. Chanting and meditation techniques are also included in the practices, to center and calm the mind.
