How the body works in this asana

Wide lateral abduction of the lower extremities paired with deep anterior pelvic tilt. Hands placed on the floor aligned with the feet.

AI scanning trigger

How the SEGA AI Judge scores it

AI measures the exact distance of the lateral foot spread relative to the practitioner's height, evaluating the strict 90-degree elbow flexion when the cranial vertex touches the mat.

Siddha-Varma stimulation

Traditional energetic note

Stimulates the inner adductor fascial lines and inverted pelvic blood flow, heavily activating the Muladhara (root) region.

Safety protocol

Practise it safely

Outer edges of the feet must press firmly into the floor to activate the arches and protect the medial collateral ligaments of the knees.
