Functional biomechanics

How the body works in this asana

Asymmetrical forward fold over a straight, forward-facing leg. Pelvis must remain perfectly squared (coronal plane zeroed).

AI scanning trigger

How the SEGA AI Judge scores it

AI tracks the pelvic alignment. If the rear hip rotates backward by more than 5 degrees from the front hip, a structural deduction is applied.

Siddha-Varma stimulation

Traditional energetic note

Deep mechanical compression of the abdominal organs on the side of the forward leg, stimulating peristalsis and metabolic efficiency.

Safety protocol

Practise it safely

The rear foot must be angled securely at 45 degrees. Hyperextending the front knee is a critical error; a micro-bend must be maintained.
