Because of all the forces yanking you interiorly. Those fascial lines, the quads, you're basically in that high kneeling position. And because the lower leg is bent behind you, you're being dragged forward. And it's difficult to squeeze your butt and extend over backwards.

And if you don't do that pose, you might do kipping pull-ups. That's a global extension position. All we're doing is taking the spine and putting a huge global load in it instead of a localized load. So an anterior pelvic tilt, you might think of localized extension and flexion where I have one or two segments doing the lion's share.

Whenever we can, prefer to have global flexion and extension because the spine maintains its integrity a little more effectively.

Great diagnostics.

Yes. Can most people probably do it? No. Can we then break down the components of it? Yeah, absolutely. Even Iyengar, yogi master, started to bring in props, blocks and belts because he was seeing that his students weren't able to achieve some of the base shapes. And what they were doing was human Jenga to get into those patterns. They were just solving the problem.

And he was like, hold up, let's not go around the problem. Let's support you while we load you and breathe in these positions and shapes.

Yeah, great way of saying that.
