Gemini 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" & Ethics
Anthropologist 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.

6 simple yoga poses for beginners to practice anywhere

by Kaiser Permanente | February 10, 2025Person pressing palms together meditating

It’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

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

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

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

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

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.

childs-pose

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.

Dear Annie, Alden, Ma/Janie, Donna, George, Sid/Pin, Yogi Tom, Ed, Byron, All, 

Yoga greetings ... A little further Yoga for this Saturday morning around 8am PT, 11am ET exploration-wise, on our own, and re post-hip surgery ... and in seeking to explore "Restorative Yoga class on Saturdays (and as we may live to 150 and well beyond:)" in video conferencing further in the future, and potentially when I and WUaS Academic Medical Center move forward further into a newly safe vacant with deed 670 Ridgecrest Rd, Canyon 94516 ... potentially soon-ish. And to develop a related Yoga ane longevity conversation ...

Releasing your arms long above your shoulders and head - 

From a seated position on a chair, or in easy cross legged pose, or half lotus, on the floor, on a blanket, - rooting down through your pelvic floor - allow your head to rise up like a helium balloon lengthening or elongating your spine, and the spaces between your vertebrae, and explore an inner releasing action that is the relaxation response - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2008/09/arc-steps-to-elicit-relaxation-response.html ... 

From here, allow your arms to rise up, float up even, long above your shoulders, palms facing each other, and then release further you fingers up away from your palm bones, up away from your forearm bones, up away from your humeri / upper arm bones to explore the space between these bones' joints ...  As your arms rise up long above you, release further your spine up creating further space between your vertebrae ... Then after about 10 breath cycles, release your arms down, palms up resting on your thighs, and further explore the the relaxation response - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2008/09/arc-steps-to-elicit-relaxation-response.html ... almost as if also you were sitting in unprogrammed Friends' Quaker Meeting ... the back of your head floating up, lengthening your spine, and your buttocks and pelvic floor opening and spreading from the inside down rooting into what you're sitting on.

Perhaps, we can explore this, and what we explored last week, - bending forward from sitting position, and the week before - sitting ... with time in an online video conference class for interactivity and feedback and a variety of explorations, consciousness-wise or mindfulness-wise with asana especially.

Yoga greetings! How are you all? How is your hip healing Annie? How is your knee healing Alden? Might you even have begun to explore Yoga asana further on your won with the Web ... and possibly have questions? No word further yet about moving WUaS Academic Medical Center with Yoga Hall into a newly safe, vacant, with deed, 670 A Ridgecrest Rd, Canyon 94516 ... so here's an invitation to you to continue your own Yoga with Asana class explorations possibly on Saturday at 7 am PT, 10am ET ...

Christine Michaels (also at Longwood senior center in Pittsburgh as is my mother) regarding the possible benefits of chair Yoga asana and to develop strength & fitness and to prevent falling, and in potentially or possibly living until we're 150 years of age+ even (with genetic drug therapies for this, for example, FDA approved ... by 2050?)  ...  is in her mid-80s and still something of a hippy 50 years after 1975 ... and am not sure about the wisdom of an online Yoga Asana course for her ... But I'm continuing to seek to develop this Yoga course on Saturdays at 7am PT ...

{Am newly joining an online Unitarian Universalist church of Palo Alto meditation group on Saturdays at 9am PT ... and may actually eventually explore doing Yoga asana in this (eg since doing so online might not bother people ... and give one the opportunity to do Yoga socially too in some ways) ... and may explore teaching an online Yoga class with some of these people as well in the future ... 
(Am also exploring singing in the UUCPA choir on Thursdays, I think, and Sunday morning ... which I sang in actually from about 1/20/17 to 4/20/21).... and see PPS }

I added further Yogini Angela Farmer videos here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Yoga - but which are not yet conversationally interactive with conversational generative AI and ML and NLP and for online Yoga feedback and teaching potentially eg with her potential avatar agent teaching bot ... and here's this welcoming Angela Farmer teaching Yoga video again ... https://youtu.be/wCJfXwm97rw ...

How to even develop humanoid robot Yoga teachers who could go into people's homes and teach Yoga and be there physically to prevent falling and injuries too ... eg for living in a fit body to 150 years of age + potentially with #ExtremeLongevityGeneticDrugTherapies & #AgingreversalGeneticDrugTherapies FDA approved emerging (since I don't think MDs or PTs or coaches etc could help Chris in Pgh, who is falling a lot, in a distant continuing care center for seniors for example) ... and brainstorming see also the beginning images here of prospective Yoga student humanoid robots for machine learning Yoga teaching and learning purposes too -

That modified standing Yoga poses, since she uses a walker, daily even with brahmacharya as ' self-restraint, especially with regard to sex' would be of help to her, but I'm not sure how to effect this or get her to do this, eg re her 'consciousness' or thinking even  (eg as a Yoga teacher) Thoughts?

Meditation group at Unitarian Universalist Church of Palo Alto?

Scott MacLeod sgkmacleod@worlduniversityandschool.org

10:12 AM (3 hours ago)
to Susan, Jack, Robert, bcc: Janie
Hi Susan, (Jack, Robert),

Greetings, from the SF East Bay near Canyon 94516 (where I lived for about 13 years until moving into a safe house north of Berkeley, and then, I would say, fleeing for my life to the eastern seaboard where I was in asylum for about 5 1/2 years, returning to the  SF East Bay this past December and January 2025). I sang in the UUCPA choir from around January 2017 - March 2021 (having just looked up some past emails in this google email address sgkmacleod@worlduniversityandschool.org account).

(As you may recall, my parents met and married in 1957 in the UU church of Cincinnati Ohio, and my grandfather Sandy Brown there I think could be considered a birthright Unitarian; my 90 year old mother is a member of the 1st UU Church of Pittsburgh too ... did some of you go to college at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh in the 1970s, did I read? )

I'm writing to inquire if I could possibly please join this Saturday's meditation group online out of the UUCPA. I noticed online on the UUCPA website - https://www.uucpa.org/ - that you send out a link for this beforehand. Am exploring the possibility of joining the choir again as well.

Thanks so much, best wishes, Yogically, Friendly regards, 
Scott

Ma/Janie, Annie, Alden, Donna, Pin, All, 

Yoga greetings. I heard back from the Hack for Social Impact 2025 hackathon on
Saturday, November 8
9:00 AM - Nov 9, 7:00 PM

that I can go, so no Yoga class at 7am PT that day (and I still haven't learned that I can move into a vacant 670 Ridgecrest Rd, Canyon 94516 by this Thursday either).

How to keep the Unitarian U friend of my mother at Longwood senior center too Christine Michaels alive for the long term (150+ years), and with Yoga poses even (and genetic drug therapies for this, when they emerge FDA approved)? My mother said Chris is falling a lot (and see text message to Ma, Pin and Ed below in PS) ... and how could modified standing Yoga poses help Chris from falling and gain strength back? 

But if hypothetically Chris Michaels could attend this Yoga class on Saturdays at 10 am ET, given her weakness, I'd be wary as a Yoga teacher of teaching her  modified standing Yoga poses online or remotely, for example, if she were to fall and I couldn't prevent this or help her with using specific props (Iyengar Yoga-wise).

This leads me to wonder, brainstorming, how to even develop humanoid robot Yoga teachers who could go into people's homes even and teach Yoga and be there physically to prevent falling and injuries too ... eg for living in a fit body to 150 years of age + potentially (since I don't think MDs or PTs or coaches etc could help Chris in Pgh at Longwood for example) ... and brainstorming see also the beginning images here of prospective Yoga student humanoid robots for machine learning Yoga teaching and learning purposes too -

So it's possible that Yoga standing  poses and other Yoga asana and Yoga could help Chris Michaels live to 150 +, with longevity genetic drug therapies too as they emerge, but maybe not with an online Yoga class for Chris ...

Am exploring further teaching a first online Yoga class on Saturday 11/15/25 at 7am PT and 10am PT ... and if I and WUaS have moved into a newly safe vacant 670 Ridgecrest Rd, Canyon 94516.

Ma, do you want to ask Chris if doing Yoga poses could be of help to her? (I don't know of any Yoga teachers in Pittsburgh however who could help her in her place with these however). Search for online Yoga videos for Chris for chair Yoga initially?

Namaste,
Scott






PS
Ma, Pin and Ed, re Yoga & 'UU' Christine Michaels, from England originally, who is falling a lot, at Longwood, and knowing her a bit too,  ... I hypothesized further after we talked on the way back from the swimmers' shower today ... That modified standing Yoga poses, since she uses a walker, daily even with brahmacharya as ' self-restraint, especially with regard to sex' would be of help to her, but I'm not sure how to effect this or get her to do this, eg re her 'consciousness' or thinking even  (eg as a Yoga teacher) Thoughts?

Here's one expression of 8 limb yoga, and re poses and brahmacharya too - 


8 limbs of yoga

The eight limbs of yoga, known as Ashtanga Yoga, are a comprehensive framework for yogic practice outlined by the sage Patanjali in the Yoga Sutras. These limbs provide a structured path to self-realization and union with the Divine. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]

The Eight Limbs of Yoga: [9, 10]
  1. Yama (Restraints): Ethical principles governing one's interactions with others, including non-violence (ahimsa), truthfulness (satya), non-stealing (asteya), continence (brahmacharya), and non-attachment (aparigraha). [11, 12]
  2. Niyama (Observances): Ethical principles governing one's inner world, including purity (saucha), contentment (santosha), austerity (tapa), study (svadhyaya), and surrender to God (ishvarapranidhana). [13, 14, 15]
  3. Asana (Postures): Physical postures designed to strengthen and align the body, promoting flexibility, balance, and awareness. [16, 17, 18]
  4. Pranayama (Breath Control): Techniques for regulating the breath, which can cultivate inner calm, focus, and energy. [19, 20, 21]
  5. Pratyahara (Withdrawal of the Senses): Turning inward from external stimuli and focusing on one's own mind. [22, 23]
  6. Dharana (Concentration): Sustaining attention on a single point, such as a mantra, breath, or image. [1, 24, 25]
  7. Dhyana (Meditation): A state of deep absorption and contemplation, where the mind transcends thoughts and limitations. [26, 27, 28]
  8. Samadhi (Union with the Divine): The ultimate goal of yoga, a state of blissful oneness with the universe, where ego dissolves and the individual realizes their true nature. [29, 30, 31]

Good morning, Annie, Ma/Janie, Alden, Donna, All, 

Yoga greetings, and happy daylight savings time!

Just filled out this 'Hack for Social Impact - Second Year' 2025 form - 

 next Saturday Nov 8, 2025 from 9am - 7pm in the Mission in SF.

... so I invite you to further Yoga asana explorations on your own (at 7am PT and 10 am ET next Saturday at 7 am PT) possibly with some of the resources I've already shared with you. If you find avatar agents or avatar bots of Yogis Angela Farmer and Victor van Kooten teaching online interactively, please let me know. 

In these regards too, I explored further in some detail about Yoga genetics here in my Sat 11/1/25 Loch Mealt blog post - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2025/10/loch-mealt-isle-of-skye-scotland.html - at bottom.

Namaste, Get well soon, best wishes, Yogically, warm regards, 
Scott
