The yoga rubric outlines 4 skills - readiness, breathing, participation/concentration, and technique - and scores them from 0-3 points based on competency. A score of 3 points represents advanced skills like always being eager to begin yoga and having poses perfectly executed. Intermediate skills that usually demonstrate the criteria earn 2 points. Basic skills that show some aspects earn 1 point. No effort earns 0 points.
