Functional biomechanics

How the body works in this asana

Front lunge at 90 degrees paired with lateral torso flexion. The rear leg and top arm create a single, unbroken diagonal vector.

AI scanning trigger

How the SEGA AI Judge scores it

Scans for the perfect linear geometry from the outer edge of the rear foot all the way through the fingertips of the extended top arm.

Siddha-Varma stimulation

Traditional energetic note

Opens the entire lateral fascial meridian, stimulating respiratory volume and activating the cardiac reflex pathways in the armpit region.

Safety protocol

Practise it safely

Do not collapse the body weight onto the front thigh or grounded hand; the core must actively suspend the torso's weight.
