Pine Hill Flannelbush: Restorative Yoga class on Saturdays (and as we may live to 150 and well beyond:)?

 


Dear Yoga friends, family in their 80s and 90s' ~ Ma/Janie, and Alden (Briscoe - who went to Quaker George School in Philadelphia before Harvard college), & Quakertarian & Veterinarian & cousin Annie (Brown in NE Oregon) in her 60s, Dick (Robb MD, possibly posthumously, also an ophthalmology professor in Harvard Medical School - and might you Dick have helped develop the ongoing clinical trials for ER-100, epigenetic reprogramming for open-angle Glaucoma, and one other Glaucoma condition?, and see - https://share.google/aimode/uWGl5Ms0ZBrwk3sx6), and George (Church) and Maitreyi (Mazumdar MD - both professors in Harvard Medical School too), Peter (Norvig, Stanford AI), Doortje (Van Kooten, and Angela and your father Victor, and please forward), Valerie & Ed Smyth MDs, &  & Marlynn Wei MD JD (co-author of "The Harvard Medical School Guide to Yoga: 8 Weeks to Strength, Awareness, and Flexibility," 2017, Harvard Press), Pin/Sid Mazumdar HHS, David Chalmers, Philosopher of Consciousness at NYU, all, 


Yoga greetings for the Restorative Yoga explorations on Saturday August 8, 2026  (and as we may live to 150 and well beyond:)  ... around 8 am your time (until again I can start streaming some Yoga explorations from the shop, and in an iterating realistic virtual earth for Yoga, at 670 Ridgecrest Rd Canyon 94516) & Happy restorative Yoga explorations ... & potentially re independence or liberation or freedom due to extreme longevity and aging reversal genetic drug therapies emerging, FDA approved - and the divine?? willing too??? - and with a physical-digital #RealisticVirtualEarth a #RealisticVirtualEarthForYogaAsana, a #RealisticVirtualEarthForGenetics, a #RealisticVirtualEarthForQuantum, and a #RealisticVirtualEarthForAgingReversal (accessible in the US and around the world too, potentially from home too) ... and interoperating with our #AvataraAgentElectronicHealthRecords  (emerging from #GPegman in #GStreetView) in one physical~digital #RealisticVirtualEarth and (and think Google Street View with time slider) at the #GCell, #GMolecule, #GAtom, AND #GQubit - #Hashtags on #TwitterX and some on #Linkedin (and with the Google Quantum Computer at UCSB) view levels ...

Restorative Chair Yoga explorations to begin ... 


A
Urdhva Hastasana (Upward Raised Hands) in a Chair ... 



B
and then Urdhva Hastasana in Tadasana (Mountain pose) standing pose  ...


Can you ease your inner arms up into the sky above you, as they stream up out of your outer arms, palms facing each other ... Find the spaces in your shoulders, in your elbow joints, in your wrists, hands and fingers ... and as you also root down through your feet and legs ... Upper inner body and arms stream up from the roots of your legs ...


C
and then lying on one's back, height under head (like a folded blanket) ... so prone on the floor, as if in savasana, but big toes touching slightly pigeon toes - or knees bent (per image below) - extend your arms straight up toward the sky, and then extend them, describing an arc with your fingertips, over your head toward the floor .. 




D
My mother Janie, at 91, above, seeks to walk 2 miles per day, and with walking sticks, thinking these help her stand upright and less hunched over, and for the walking exercises benefits ... (I wonder if this actually contracts the muscles of the shoulder girdle and thus might make her more hunched upper body muscular-wise ... but also think the walking sticks are good for adding more movement while walking 2 miles ... ) ... And I also explore the 8 limbs of Yoga while walking with poles ... eg pratyahara (withdrawal of the senses, e.g. dharana - concentration, dhyana - meditation, as I find a rhythm walking with poles almost like tele-marking in skiing ... and release inwardly re both dharana and dhyana ...)


D 1

I wrote her this email this morning ... 

"Upward 

Hi Ma, 

To keep from hunching over, explore doing

Upward Raised Hands Yoga pose restoratively and even meditatively, & daily ... 



More later about this in today's 8/8/26 (for Saturday too) restorative Yoga explorations' email. 

Love, Scott

Also asked Google AI Mode - 

What are 10 benefits of walking 3 miles a day in terms of eg calorie burning etc? "Walking 3 miles a day burns roughly 300 calories, strengthens your heart, and builds muscle" - https://share.google/aimode/ioAnJpq5Clnk7naHl ... Also asked - "what are 10 benefits of doing 10 Yoga Sun salutations per day in terms of eg calorie burning etc?" ... so taking possibly 5 or so minutes rather than 40 minutes for walking 2 miles - "Doing 10 Sun Salutations (Surya Namaskar) every day burns roughly 70 to 140 calories, strengthens muscles, boosts flexibility, and improves heart health." ... https://share.google/aimode/Mgv1oRn8kZfQ7UaKJ ... Thoughts?

General Biological Intelligence AI - #GeneralBiologicalIntelligence 

Further re last week re Yoga Sat 8/1/26 - and regarding Stanford PhD in machine learning Eric Nguyen -


This amazing interview of Eric Nguyen - https://x.com/mariogabriele/status/2084610303673934104 -  combines both potentially the language of DNA and re #TextInTheSideBar (think GStreetView with Time Slider) ... with images for an emerging General Biological Intelligence AI, so both modalities, and so much more ... re World University and Schools' seeking to develop further a #RealisticVirtualEarthForAgingReversal,a #RealisticVirtualEarthForExtremeLongevity, a #RealisticVirtualEarthForDNA #RealisticVirtualEarthForYogaAsana  ... but it doesn't mention either Aging Reversal or consciousness emerging from biology (and see PS)

Eric Nguyen @exnx · I sat down with @mariogabriele  on the Generalist podcast to talk about why DNA is the most complicated and important language ever - https://x.com/mariogabriele/status/2084610303673934104 ...


So I asked ...

Retweeting -

@mariogabriele
What happens when AI can write the genetic code for life itself?

Eric Nguyen (@exnx) is the co-founder of
@RadicalNumerics, the lab behind the models that generated the first genome ever created entirely by AI, a bacteriophage that had never existed in nature until it wrote one. He believes DNA should be treated the way language is treated: something a model can read, then write.

With more DNA sitting in public databases than there is text on the entire internet, he sees an almost unmined field, one where the models built to make sense of it remain, by his own admission, no more sophisticated than linear regression.

Thank you to the partners who make this possible

Also, asked today re Yoga asana too, and potentially for aging reversal in the future and in a realistic virtual earth for genetics as well - 

What genes or complex of genes control movement in human & mammal bodies & particularly that might inform or control #YogaAsana movements, for ex & re #AgingReversal? 


Regarding genes, gene expression & genomics, what genes or complex of genes control movement in human & mammal bodies & particularly that might inform or control #YogaAsana movements, for ex & re #AgingReversal?
