Hips and pelvis: two different questions
A lifted hip is not automatically an anterior tilt. First ask what is moving relative to what.
Distinguish hip flexion from pelvic tilt, and recognise a teaching cue as a cue.
The hip describes the relationship between the thigh and pelvis. Pelvic tilt describes the orientation of the pelvis relative to its reference.
Anterior and posterior tilt are easiest to feel lying on the back, and that experience carries into Bridge. A small posterior action is sometimes suggested in Down Dog, and schools differ on it.
We preserve that teaching context rather than turning a pose name into one universal tilt label.
The thigh and pelvis answer different questions
A hip angle can remain while the pelvis changes orientation.
This is a simplified learning diagram. It is not a reviewed anatomical illustration.
Bridge Pose
In the supine model, rock the pelvis gently between the labeled examples. Switch to Down Dog or Warrior II and identify the pelvis and the thigh separately.
Sit tall, then let your lower back round backward and come upright again a few times.
Notice: Nothing at your hip joint changed. The pelvis tipped, and the spine went with it.
This is noticing, not instruction. Move as little as you like, stop at any point, and watching instead of moving is a complete way to take part.
Does the label "hip flexion" by itself tell you the direction of pelvic tilt?
Pause before opening Practice. Say the distinction in your own words.
Could the hips stay flexed while the pelvis changes orientation?
Neither Down Dog nor Child's Pose receives a universal anterior/posterior quiz answer. Landmarks, reference and the selected variation must be visible.
