Hips and pelvis: two different questions
A lifted hip is not automatically an anterior tilt. First ask what is moving relative to what.
The hip describes the relationship between the thigh and pelvis. Pelvic tilt describes the orientation of the pelvis relative to its reference. The class explores anterior and posterior tilt lying on the back, then brings that experience into Bridge. Later, the instructor suggests a small posterior action in Down Dog and acknowledges that schools differ. We preserve that teaching context rather than turning a pose name into one universal tilt label.
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.
This release does not implement this lesson’s full animation. Its behaviour is specified in the PRD and content data. Step controls will accompany every drag interaction.
Could the hips stay flexed while the pelvis changes orientation?
Guardrail: Neither Down Dog nor Child's Pose receives a universal anterior/posterior quiz answer. Landmarks, reference and the selected variation must be visible.
