Very educational and detailed information. Can u tell us what Asanas or set of Asanas would excerise our entire body bones / muscles to have a total flexibility? thanks.

[@sarathraam]

Thanks for the content. Just a question: Why is it a plantar'flexion'? Isn't that an 'extension' of the foot?

[@JoeMiller108]

Good question. People sometimes do refer to it as extension, because it's often functionally related to extension, especially in the context of "triple extension" of the hip, knee and ankle. The reason why it's called plantar "flexion" has to do with the development of the lower limb in utero. In general, the flexor muscles are found on the front of the body and the extensors on the back. The knee and ankle are exceptions. That's because the lower limb rotates during fetal development so that the flexors of the knee and ankle (i.e., the hamstrings and calf muscles) wind up on the back of the body. So, embryologically, the plantar flexors are actually flexor muscles. Hope that makes sense and thanks for the question.
