One of the reasons for our particular place in the ecosystem is bipeda l locomotion and stereoscopic vision.\n\nThe bipedal locomotion makes us s uperior in many ways\, giving us an advantage in terms of a broad visual s pan and freedom to use our forelimbs.\n\nThe bipedal locomotion is possibl e because of the erect spine\, and we need to understand why this spine is erect\, unlike other animals.\n\nIt is important to understand the import ance of spine posture and understand why we have so many problems with our spines as we age.\n\nWhenever we see a personality\, physical characteris tics are quite determining of how much we are impressed by a person.\n\nBr oad shoulders\, erect spine and expanded chest\, along with the slim abdom en and swift movement\, are always reassuring of a great personality.\n\nT his workshop is being conducted by Dr Mayur V.
