Functional biomechanics

How the body works in this asana

Maximum anterior stretch. The palmar surface of the hands is placed completely under the plantar surface of the feet.

AI scanning trigger

How the SEGA AI Judge scores it

Tracks the depth of the wrist insertion beneath the foot and the symmetry of the elbow flaring (abduction) during the active pull phase.

Siddha-Varma stimulation

Traditional energetic note

Creates a powerful energetic loop (connecting hand and foot Varma points), intensely massaging the carpal tunnel pathways and regulating digestive fire (Agni).

Safety protocol

Practise it safely

Shift weight slightly forward into the balls of the feet to prevent the hips from drifting behind the heels, keeping the center of gravity stacked over the ankles.
