Artistic Group Yogasana (Group Yoga Dance) Rules & Details
Artistic Group Yogasana, also known as Group Yoga Dance, is the presentation of various Asanas (postures) including pyramid formations with music. It involves physical strength, power, flexibility, control, coordination, grace, and balance. Artistic Group Yogasana demonstrates the ability to execute all movements as a unit.
All participants will perform different postures at a time in groups of two, three, four, or all together.
Number of postures/formations performed should be 10 asanas of competitor’s choice. Among these 10 postures/formations:
5 formations must be of Rhythmic Yogasana nature, meaning 5 same asanas should be performed by all 5 athletes.
The remaining 5 postures/formations can be pyramidal or any other formation using the 5 asana categories: Leg Balance, Hand Balance, Back Bend, Forward Bend, and Body Twisting.
Competitors can change the sequence but must perform all categories. Missing any category = no marks for that asana and penalty of 2 marks per missing category. Pyramidal formation is allowed up to 2 layers.
Performance must present a theme that matches the music. Allowed music: Country’s Folk, Patriotic, Devotional, Instrumental, and Light Music. Vulgar and Item songs are not allowed.
Time duration for the presentation: 210–240 seconds. Each posture must be held for at least 6 seconds. Transitions should be slow, artistic, and synchronized, using the maximum allotted floor area.
Awards to the First, Second, & Third place candidates.
