@atomjack IIRC these kinds of motions are instinct (i.e., hard-wired neural relays that make stereotyped behavior patterns) in most vertebrates. Yoga poses, "classic" sports poses, and "good form" in many kinds of dance and other athletics often mimic fundamental reflexes that get "overwritten" in humans by higher-order and more complex patterns of behavior... but the traces are still there.
