Asana Mechanics

This analysis contrasts the pelvic and hip joint mechanics of grounded-heel against lifted-heel lunge positions. You will learn the anatomical constraints governing sacroiliac tension and femoral rotation in each posture.

This document examines the anterior forces on the glenohumeral joint during a horizontal ninety-degree push-down. You will identify clear thresholds where scapular depression fails and joint shear increases.

This reference breaks down the required degrees of anterior pelvic tilt before lumbar flexion occurs in Uttanasana. You will learn how to measure hamstring restriction independently from spinal mobility.
