Bharat Thakur is one of my favorite yoga gurus. His simple way of explaining yoga and its techniques is appealing. In an age where yoga is looked upon as yet another way to shed flab and show off that bikini body or a svelte figure, this Himalayan yoga master has come up with an absolutely amazing way of defining yoga. In his words, yoga is not turning, twisting, or temporarily pushing your body to get into assorted positions. It is much beyond that.
Artistic Yoga, as it has been christened, has been deciphered to aid people in losing weight, in a comprehensive way. It is not yet another yoga style, but in simple words you could call it core yoga with modifications which ensures that you achieve the desired benefits in a fruitful way.
What Exactly Is Artistic Yoga?
We all know that the classical yoga form came into existence thousands of decades ago. And, in its crude form, it had satiated the needs of the people of that era. Times have changed and so have our requirements. Artistic yoga is an attempt to modify yoga in such a way that it meets the requirements of modern days, especially when it comes to shedding the excess flab.

While the traditional form revolves more around breathing and meditation, the artistic form is pure fitness. It is a blend of cardiovascular workouts, breathing and meditation.

Along with instructing and guiding you through asanas, pranayamas, and meditations, you will also get counseling on diet. A perfectly balanced meal plan is designed to meet your requirements.
