Functional biomechanics

How the body works in this asana

Wide stance forward fold with hands interlaced behind the back, forcing extreme shoulder extension and chest expansion during the inversion.

AI scanning trigger

How the SEGA AI Judge scores it

Algorithm measures the angular distance between the interlaced fists and the floor. Elite scoring requires the hands to actively pull toward a 0-degree distance to the mat.

Siddha-Varma stimulation

Traditional energetic note

Aggressive opening of the anterior deltoid and pectoral fascial lines clears nerve impingements affecting the cardiovascular Varma nodes.

Safety protocol

Practise it safely

Practitioners with rotator cuff injuries must use a strap between the hands to prevent anterior capsule tearing under gravitational load.
