Functional biomechanics

How the body works in this asana

Deep standing extension with hands to the sacrum and open thoracic spine.

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.
