Functional biomechanics

How the body works in this asana

Kneeling straight-front-leg hamstring lengthener with square hips.

AI scanning trigger

How the SEGA AI Judge scores it

Scoring initialises at maximum controlled flexion; the AI tracks spinal length, pelvic tilt and leg engagement rather than depth alone.

Siddha-Varma stimulation

Traditional energetic note

Traditional Siddha-Varma associates forward folding with the back-line pathways; traditional context only, not medical guidance.

Safety protocol

Practise it safely

Fold from the hips with a long spine; bend the knees freely to protect the low back and hamstrings.
