Proposed Reedie+ book group beginning in late December ... or January 2026 ~
Dear Riely (1st semester Reed roommate, now in Philadelphia I think), Nancy Gormley Bevilaqua (who also went to Shady Side Academy in PA) in Hoboken NY I think too, Ed, Kai, Byron, Gabrielle, Reedies +, Proposed Reedie+ book group, (and please share this with other Reedies in the list below whose emails I don't have!), all,
Merry, merry and Happy, happy. Greetings from Rawlins, Wyoming, as I head east from northeast Oregon (visiting my cousin Annie above) to western Pa and possibly DC for Xmas. Read "A Month in the Country" by Carr (1980, and not the 1855 Turgenev "Month in the Country") for 2nd or 3rd Saturday in January - and for people close to Canyon 94516 meeting there, with everyone interested on laptops too (for the text chat 2nd channel of communication too in Zoom )? My mother's book group in western PA won't be joining an online exploration of reading and talking about this, albeit her book group in December for reading this was cancelled due to weather.
Am thinking about looking for that hotel in Rawlins, we, Riely, Nancy and I, holed up in - in a snowstorm in December 1979 in Rawlins, WY, - taking a Driveaway car from Reed and SE Portland Oregon east for Xmas but probably won't. Any thoughts on how best to find it if it still exists besides driving down its main street, eyes wide open, and seeing what neurons fire? :)
Am wondering what role further the Ellis Evictions Act could play in my and WUaS moving forward further into a newly safe vacant with deed 670 Ridgecrest Rd Canyon 94516 beginning soon after January 1, 2026, and after I drive back west in this INCReDIBLE 2025 Toyota Sienna Woodland edition minivan - and with US federal law working effectively together with state of CA law (and other legal regimes) in new ways effectively. My tiny Vanguard mutual fund retirement account was locked I learned yesterday until I call them on Monday or update my address online to 670 A Ridgecrest Rd Canyon CA 94516 (from my 2nd asylum house address in Pittsburgh) and again as US federal law works effectively with state of CA law, and as I and WUaS continue to grow a worldwide abolition movement to protect people. Thoughts, questions, suggestions?
Kai (somewhere north in northern California) and Ed (in Berkeley), just found found this blog post from 2015 with correspondence with both of you, and search on from Kai -
"I'm good presently and in flux and questioning again at other times. This transition up North has been a bit of a ....let's just say that I am in reflection a lot....empty-nesting is seriously hard business"
AND with Ed -
"Hi my dear friend Scott. Just waking up, to do some Tai Ch'i tho i think i hear rain and morning sitting meditation.
Ed:
The water is boiling for the softboiled egg and I have shaving cream on my face. One instrument is packed - piano - and meditation was good here ... meeting with Wikimedia Foundation legal director today after WUaS's hive meeting space at AFSC/SFFM I'm glad to say. Hoping your double meditation was good, E"
Has anyone been able to access "A Month in the Country" by Carr yet? The copy on paper I put on hold came into a Berkeley public library, and I'll seek to get it when I return there.
Warm Reedie regards, Merry, merry and Happy, happy,
Scott

Restorative Yoga class on Saturdays (and as we may live to 150 and well beyond:)? ~
Dear Annie, Yogis, All,
So great to see you at Wisdom Creek Ranch in NE Oregon (the back-to-the-land amazingly beautiful sustainable tree farm my uncle Ted and aunt Mary created beginning in 1959, who met at Quaker Earlham College in Indiana), and to see you're recovering well from your left hip replacement surgery, and that you have some Yoga asanas to explore from what the surgeon's office gave you on paper too! Having departed the ranch Friday midday, for the eastern seaboard, I've rescheduled, with interest, the "Restorative Yoga class on Saturdays (and as we may live to 150 and well beyond:)?" from this morning Sat Dec 20, 2025 to

Passcode: z8MMJyPlease let me know if you're interested in further exploring the inner body Yogically re wonderful inner releasing action Yoga meditation .Thanks to Gemini AI for this further Yoga genetics' conversation !Namaste, Yogically, best regards,Scott(Some previous communications in this thread are here -YSRegarding an emerging Yoga & Yoga genetics' conversation further -How best for humans to plan to live to 150 years of age and beyond, with extreme longevity genetic drugs emerging, FDA approved - and with yoga asana & genetics' potentially (& search on For #Olympics? #YogaGenetics? For performance - higher faster stronger athletics - & #ETHICS? What? - http://www.scottmacleod.com/yoganotations.html?) with a GREATGemini AI reply -Planning to live to 150 years involves an intersection of emerging geroscience, genetic engineering, and "bio-spiritual" practices like yoga. While the 150-year goal remains theoretical, significant milestones in FDA-approved pathways and personal wellness frameworks (like those of Scott MacLeod) suggest a roadmap.1. Emerging Longevity Drugs (FDA Landscape)There is currently no FDA-approved drug specifically for "longevity," as the FDA traditionally treats aging as a natural process rather than a disease. However, "repurposed" drugs and new candidates are leading the way:* Targeting Aging with Metformin (TAME) Trial: Metformin (an FDA-approved diabetes drug) is the focus of the first major trial aimed at proving a drug can delay multiple age-related chronic diseases.* Rapamycin: Already FDA-approved for organ transplants, it is being researched for its ability to inhibit the mTOR pathway, which regulates cell growth and aging.* LOY-001: In late 2023, the FDA signaled it might be ready to endorse longevity drugs by clearing a regulatory hurdle for this anti-aging drug (initially for dogs), which targets the IGF-1 hormone.* Senolytics: Drugs like PCC1 (derived from grape seeds) are in early trials to clear "zombie cells" (senescent cells) that cause inflammation and aging.2. Yoga Asana & "Yoga Genetics"The link between yoga and genetics is rooted in epigenetics—the way behaviors and environment change how your genes work.* Telomere Protection: Studies (e.g., YMLI research) suggest that regular practice of asana, pranayama, and meditation increases telomerase activity, the enzyme that protects the "caps" of your chromosomes. Longer telomeres are associated with slower cellular aging.* Genetic Reprogramming: Yoga has been shown to downregulate genes involved in inflammation and upregulate genes related to DNA repair and stress resilience (like the p53 "guardian of the genome").* Performance: In the context of the Olympics, "Yoga Genetics" explores how these practices can naturally optimize an athlete’s physiological state—achieving "higher, faster, stronger" by lowering cortisol and maximizing oxygen flow at a cellular level.3. Scott MacLeod’s "Hippy-anjali" & EthicsAnthropologist Scott MacLeod’s "Yoga Notations" and "Hippy-anjali" framework integrate these scientific concepts with a focus on Flow, Bliss, and Ethics:* Ethical Longevity: MacLeod emphasizes "non-harming" (ahimsa) and "caring" as central to the experience of eudaimonia (human flourishing). Living to 150 is not just a biological feat but a moral one—requiring a "global university" approach to shared knowledge and "bliss" as a natural neurophysiological state.* The Olympic Question: His work touches on the ethics of "vaccines for performance" and genetic enhancement. The ethical dilemma (for #Olympics and #YogaGenetics) is whether genetic interventions create an unfair "biological class" or if they are a natural evolution of human potential.* Human Performance: MacLeod suggests a "Taoist approach" to yoga as an "inner conversation" with the body to regenerate naturally, potentially mitigating the need for "extreme" drugs by optimizing the body's existing genetic capacity for repair.How to Plan for 150:* Monitor Geroscience: Stay updated on trials for Metformin, Rapamycin, and SGLT2 inhibitors.* Epigenetic Practice: Incorporate daily "Hippy-anjali" style yoga to maintain spinal health and cellular "flow."* Ethical Framework: Adopt a mindset of "non-harming" and community bonding, as social health is one of the strongest predictors of longevity (the "Blue Zones" effect).* Data Tracking: Use biological age testing (epigenetic clocks) to see if your "Yoga Notations" are actually slowing your rate of aging.For more detailed philosophical notations, MacLeod’s work can be found at scottmacleod.com/yoganotations.html.

https://x.com/Q_YogaMacFlower/status/1815700381474689273?s= 20 6 simple yoga poses for beginners to practice anywhere
by Kaiser Permanente | February 10, 2025It’s important to care for the whole you — mind, body, and spirit. And if you’ve been spending more time at home or are working from home, it’s even more important to get your body moving whenever possible.
Not only is movement great for your physical health, but it can also benefit your mental health. Studies have found that exercises like yoga may be helpful for depression, anxiety, or PTSD.* Plus, low-impact yoga poses can be easy to do when you have a few free moments to spare.
Here are some simple yoga moves to try that will keep your body moving throughout the day.
Mountain Pose (Tadasana)
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and outstretch your arms.
- Lift both arms away from your sides and hold them in place when they’re about 12 inches away from your hips.
- As you settle into the pose, roll your shoulders back and tilt your chin slightly upwards.
- Take a deep breath while stretching your arms out as if someone were gently pulling down on your fingertips.
- Hold this pose for 5 deep breaths or for however long feels comfortable for you.
Upward Salute (Urdhva Hastasana)
- Start in Mountain Pose.
- Reach your arms up over your head and lengthen your body from toes to fingertips.
- Your face should be tilted upwards looking at your hands as you reach up for the sky.
- Hold this pose for 5 deep breaths or for however long feels comfortable for you.
Salutation Seal (Anjali Mudra)
- You can start this pose from either a seated or standing position.
- Raise your arms up and over your head, then press the palms of your hands together and bring them down to the center of your chest.
- Roll your shoulders back and take a few deep breaths.
- Hold this pose for 5 deep breaths or for however long feels comfortable for you.
Cow Face Pose (Gomukhasana)
- Start in the Mountain Pose position.
- With your hands at your side, move your right arm behind your back while also lifting your left arm up and over your head.
- Try to reach behind your back and grab the fingertips of each hand. If you can’t reach your fingertips, try holding onto a strap, belt, or towel.
- Once your hands are clasped together, roll your shoulders back and breathe deeply into this pose.
- Switch hands after a few breaths.
Cat Pose (Marjaryasana)
- Lower yourself to your hands and knees on a yoga mat or soft surface (like a carpet).
- Your hands should be shoulder-width apart and your knees should be hip-width apart, with the soles of your feet facing up.
- Keep your back straight — like a table — at the start of this pose.
- Gently curve your spine up into Cat Pose while letting your head hang down toward the floor.
- After a few breaths, you can try to either:
- Go back to a neutral straight back to rest.
- Move into Cow Pose by letting your belly button drop towards the ground while lifting your gaze up to the ceiling.
Child’s Pose (Balasana)
- Start on the ground in the Cat Pose.
- Using your hands as anchors, shift your hips back so that your stomach is resting on top of your legs.
- With your head pressed on the ground, stretch your hands out as far as you can reach while breathing deeply.
- Hold this pose for 5 deep breaths or for however long feels comfortable for you.
