Abstract
Sanomechanical exercises are those poses which activate hydraulic connectivity between skeleton joints. Each pose focuses on a selected degree or degrees of freedom. The purpose of each pose is to enact a certain body configuration appreciated by the body within these degrees of freedom. That appreciation is conveyed by our nervous system as a sensation of pleasure, which is sent to the mind as a signal of encouragement. Unwanted deviations from the correct poses evoke a signal of discouragement (pain), instructing us to adjust the pose.
