Toes pointed in same direction as hips both sides of body in same position
Proprioception

Intrinsic equilibrium
Stacking of bones to use least amount of muscular tension
Foundation
Physical placement of platform 1st queue in each pose
Co contraction
Engagement of muscles around a joint in order to protect
Muscle
Flexible tissue

Connects muscle to bone/allows muscle to move
