optical bending twisting

i kept looking at this photo to see if there was an optical illusion going on. it's not Titibasana, for which forward bending would have been sufficient. he's bending and twisting. i don't know what it's called. i reblogged it from yogadudes.

edit. i don't think it's photoshopped. it's probably someone blessed with a lot of flexibility - or a contortionist expert. below is his Titibasana C, from this flickr page.

uh, kinda freaky, is it a real pose?

hi Loo
it is a bit freaky, maybe not a pose we're used to. sanskrit experts could come up with a name for it. i added his Titibasana C.
cheers,
Arturo

Looks freaky alright. Perhaps it's how he modifies the pose for himself

dear yoginicory, i guess he modifies because he can...
