Depictions of humanoids in fantastic or expressive poses have reflected a social interest in the experience of vitality and fitness.
In modern times, we see consumerism culture imprinted onto fitness-lifestyle merchandise/gear companies such as Fabletics and Lady Foot Locker.
Folk tales about incredible creatures/beings in expressive stance or adventurous humans in meditative symbolic body positions/orientations (e.g., Peter Pan, RoboCop) signify a social appreciation of physique imagination.
Such imagination is important in our modern age of electronic living and tech-dependency.
The characterizations of beautiful mermaids (e.g., Ariel) and isolated jungle explorers (e.g., Tarzan) equally represent storytelling investments in civilization characterizations of physique primal vitality.
How can we therefore coordinate yoga-like wisdom with modernism fitness? The answer to such a question can help us appreciate the modern intellectual value of relevant 'perfectionism-gymnasium' films such as Johnny Mnemonic and The Abyss.
