Functional biomechanics

How the body works in this asana

Prone posterior-chain extension lifting chest and legs against gravity.

AI scanning trigger

How the SEGA AI Judge scores it

Scoring initialises at the held apex; the AI tracks even segmental extension, shoulder opening and hip drive, flagging lumbar hinging.

Siddha-Varma stimulation

Traditional energetic note

Traditional Siddha-Varma associates spinal extension with the chest and back-line pathways; traditional context only, not medical guidance.

Safety protocol

Practise it safely

Lengthen before extending and distribute the bend along the whole spine; avoid compressing the low back or neck. Take care with spinal conditions.
