Quiz

Right Answer.

Explanation: Half lotus or elevated seat reduces hip rotation demand and protects hip labrum and medial knee structures.

Right Answer.

Explanation: Heel elevation reduces ankle dorsiflexion demand and preserves knee tracking and spinal length. Heel lifting or compressing knees risks joint stress; rotating tibia alone is not an effective strategy.

Right Answer.

Explanation: Active hip flexion (engaging hip flexors and lengthening hamstrings moderately) with thoracic lengthening encourages posterior pelvic tilt and spinal decompression.

Right Answer.

Explanation: Shortening stance and allowing comfortable external rotation reduces excessive torsion at the hip.

Right Answer.

Explanation: Strong shoulders and effective scapular upward rotation stabilize the weight through the arms and reduce cervical load.

Right Answer.

Explanation: Axial length with thoracic-initiated rotation protects lumbar discs. Twisting from lumbar spine, collapsing shoulder, or hyperextending knee introduces unsafe compensations.

Right Answer.

Explanation: A mild knee bend and hip hinge preserve lumbar curve while the core works. Collapsing the chest, gripping and yanking, or rigid sacral anchoring create compensations and reduce functional core training.

Right Answer.

Explanation: Three-point root combined with gentle hip engagement creates a stable base without excessive muscular bracing.

Right Answer.

Explanation: This is the traditional and safe alignment in Tree Pose, ensuring stability and proper engagement of the standing leg.

Right Answer.

Explanation: Generating lift from feet and glutes and stabilizing shoulders distributes load safely; pushing through wrists or collapsing shoulders transfers excessive stress to wrists and lumbar spine.
