Yoga greetings (as in 8 limbs of Yoga) for the email Restorative Yoga explorations' class on Saturday September 5, 2026  (and as we may live to 150 and well beyond:)  ... around 8 am Your Time  ...  


Exploring further de-hunching over ... re Jane (above) my mother's seeking to extend her spine long and hunch over less ... and particularly for 80 and 90 year olds + ... but for everyone here ... (And who here is searching online for Yoga asana explorations they like and find helpful from home, and potentially daily with time - (and as we may live to 150 and well beyond:) )


I think my mother's finding great benefit from taking two movement classes a week ... Explore and as we may live to 150 and well beyond:) ?




B
Let's Yoga-explore 

1
Siddhasana on a chair 
Yoga meditation sitting on a chair (chair pose) or cross legged on a blanket on the floor - float your head up like a helium balloon to lengthen the spine 


2
Urdhva hastasana on a chair 

Then from sitting, extend arms up in sitting urdhva hastasana (upward salute) ... lengthening your inner arms long toward the sky




3
Then Cat-Cow Yoga pose on hands and knees, undulating your spine up and down (possibly 10 times) to create freedom and movement in your spine 
eg



Then from your hands and knees, move your hands about 12 inches forward, - and then drop back your buttocks while still on your knees to lengthen from  your rooting palms back through your buttocks, spine lengthening ... into a kind of downward dog pose (Adho Mukha Svanasana) for the upper body only, knees on the ground, buttocks a little behind the plumb line of your thighs ... and explore releasing into the traction you're creating from your spreading palms and fingers growing little roots into the floor...

This is the idea - 



Am looking for a drawing of this from one of Victor's 4 books ... but can't find presently ... 



5
Then stand in Tadasana Mountain pose ... and then into upward salute, and then into a beginning back bend (as if you were going to do a drop back into Urdhva Dhanurasana, upward bow or wheel pose) arms lengthening up, legs rooting down 



And then a forward bend in chair pose, lengthening your spine long, and releasing into it



7
Then 
Savasana, head on a blanket, and possibly one under your knees too, laying yourself symmetrically down ... and covering yourself with a blanket ... for 10 minutes or so 

like -

George, Peter, Sundar, all, I found these related poses when searching on the following, and how best to develop scientific Yoga studies even in a #RealsiticVirtualEarthForYoga at World University and School which is in a #GrowWithGoogleWUaS program - 

Searched on 
yoga poses for aging reversal science experiments 

Scientific studies suggest that regular yoga and meditation practices can positively influence molecular markers of aging, such as reducing oxidative stress and inflammation. [1]
Key Anti-Aging Yoga Poses
  • Downward-Facing Dog (Adho Mukha Svanasana): This mild inversion brings the head below the heart, which increases blood circulation to the face and head to support nutrient delivery to skin tissues. [12]
  • Fish Pose (Matsyasana): This backbend opens the chest and stretches the neck, which helps improve posture, boost lymphatic drainage, and enhance oxygen supply to the upper body. [1]
  • Cat-Cow Pose (Marjaryasana-Bitilasana): Gentle spinal movements in this flow help activate the vagus nerve to lower stress-induced inflammatory chemicals in the body. [1]
  • Standing Forward Bend (Uttanasana): This deep fold reverses the pull of gravity on facial tissues and encourages restorative blood flow to the head. [12]
What the Science Says
Research investigating gene expression shows that comprehensive yoga programs can increase antioxidant enzyme activities and regulate anti-apoptotic (cell-protecting) genes. [1]
Additional scientific reviews published in sources like ScienceDirect indicate that mindfulness and yogic lifestyles correlate with markers of cellular health, including oxidative stress mitigation and telomere maintenance. While yoga cannot literally "reverse" chronological time, scientific experiments show it successfully dampens physiological drivers of biological aging. [1]





And further how to study aging reversal and 8 limbs of Yoga and in a physical-digital realistic virtual earth for Yoga (in one iterating realistic virtual earth), and see - 


Is there a standard for yoga poses asana emerging in scientific clinical studies of the health effects of Yoga poses on specific medical conditions? 


Is there a standard for yoga poses asana & 8 limbs of Yoga emerging in scientific clinical studies of the health effects of Yoga poses on specific medical conditions that World University and School could develop for new yoga benefits scientific studies from home & 
 in a realistic virtual earth for yoga too? 


While there is no single global standard for yoga across all medical conditions, emerging consensus frameworks and standardized protocols are increasingly used in scientific clinical trials. These standards allow clinical trials to evaluate yoga’s health benefits systematically and offer a strong foundation for research initiatives at World University and School (WUaS).

Current Scientific Standards for Clinical Yoga Research

Rather than mandating a fixed sequence of asanas for all conditions, clinical research relies on standardized intervention guidelines and condition-specific protocols:

1. The Delphi Guidelines for Yoga Interventions

To resolve trial heterogeneity, international consensus panels established the Delphi Guidelines for Yoga Interventions in Musculoskeletal and Chronic Conditions. These guidelines standardize how protocols are structured and reported:

  • Dose & Parameter Rigor: Standardizing session frequency (e.g., 60-minute classes, 2–3 times per week over 8–12 weeks).

  • Core Components: Mandatory reporting on Asana (physical postures), Pranayama (breath regulation), and Dhyana/Dharana (meditation/mindfulness).

  • Adaptation Frameworks: Standardizing modifications (e.g., using chairs, blocks, or wall support) to ensure participant safety without losing therapeutic efficacy.

2. Condition-Specific Standardized Protocols

  • Chronic Low Back Pain: Standardized protocols developed by researchers (e.g., Boston Medical Center’s Yoga for Low Back Pain) are formally recognized in medical consensus guidelines such as those of the American College of Physicians (ACP) and the VA/DoD.

  • Oncology & Palliative Care: Integrative guidelines from the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) explicitly recommend standardized gentle/restorative yoga protocols for cancer-related fatigue, anxiety, and pain management.

  • Common Yoga Protocol (CYP): Protocols like the WHO/Ministry of Ayush Common Yoga Protocol are increasingly studied in trials measuring biological markers (e.g., vascular function, inflammatory cytokines, and CD34+ stem cell activity).

3. Integrating the 8 Limbs of Yoga in Research

While early western trials focused predominantly on Asana, current clinical neuroscience heavily evaluates the broader 8 Limbs framework (Ashtanga):

  • Yama & Niyama (Ethical & Behavioral Foundations): Measured via self-compassion, lifestyle compliance, and stress reduction scales.

  • Asana (Postures): Assessed for range of motion, biomechanics, muscle strength, and flexibility.

  • Pranayama (Breath Control): Measured via heart rate variability (HRV), vagal tone, and autonomic nervous system regulation.

  • Pratyahara, Dharana, Dhyana (Internalization & Meditation): Evaluated through functional MRI (fMRI) studies tracking default mode network (DMN) activity and emotional regulation.

Developing a Yoga Research Framework at World University and School

World University and School can leverage open educational tools, telemetry, and 3D geospatial environments to pioneer decentralized, remote yoga research:

1. Home-Based Scientific Data Collection (At-Home Tele-Yoga)

WUaS can host open-access protocols where participants practice from home while collecting verifiable data:

  • Wearable Sensor Integration: Track continuous biomarkers during practice—such as HRV (Pranayama effects), continuous glucose monitoring, and electrodermal activity (stress responses).

  • AI Computer Vision for Postural Alignment: Utilize lightweight motion-tracking via home webcams to monitor pose execution (Asana accuracy) and joint angles without requiring high-end laboratory gear.

  • Standardized Digital Health Metrics: Implement validated clinical survey batteries (e.g., PROMIS, Brief Pain Inventory) administered pre- and post-session.

2. Real-Time Telemetry & Digital Twins in a Virtual Earth

A realistic virtual Earth platform offers distinct methodological advantages for yoga science:

  • Interactive Biomechanical Visualization: Students and researchers can view real-time 3D anatomical models (showing muscle activation, joint loads, and spinal alignment) corresponding to specific asanas within a virtual environment.

  • Avatar-Guided Standardized Instruction: Ensure 100% protocol fidelity across global study cohorts by delivering avatar-led sessions that eliminate instructor variability in multi-center trials.

  • Global Longitudinal Cohorts: Enable participants worldwide to join synchronized, remote clinical trials in shared virtual studios, capturing diverse demographic and health datasets.

AND

Is there a standard for yoga poses asana  emerging in scientific clinical studies of the health effects of Yoga poses on specific medical conditions? 


Yes, frameworks like the Medical Yoga Standardized Intervention (MOSI) are emerging to create a unified language and structure for clinical yoga research. [1]
For decades, scientific studies on the health effects of yoga faced major hurdles regarding intervention heterogeneity—meaning different trials used vastly different asana combinations, naming conventions, doses, and styles (such as Hatha or Iyengar). This lack of uniformity made it difficult for conventional healthcare providers to replicate results or prescribe precise protocols for specific conditions like chronic low back pain, hypertension, or type 2 diabetes. [123]
To solve this, researchers and clinical methodologists are actively developing standardized taxonomies and theoretical models. For instance: [1]
  • The MOSI Framework: This model organizes traditional yoga practices into a reproducible four-layer architecture (covering self-care, intention, practice, and awareness) designed specifically for clinical implementation. [1]
  • Condition-Specific Modules: Clinical trials targeting particular ailments—such as musculoskeletal disorders or thyroid imbalances—increasingly rely on pre-validated, peer-reviewed "yoga modules" rather than randomized sets of poses. [12]
  • Sham Yoga Controls: Researchers have even developed specific "sham yoga" stretching protocols to act as controlled placebos in randomized trials, helping isolate the precise biomechanical or physiological benefits of true therapeutic asanas. [1]
If you want, tell me:
  • Which specific medical condition are you researching?
  • Are you looking for standardized asana sequences or dosage guidelines (frequency and duration)?
I can share more details on the specific clinical protocols used for that condition.

Unitarian Universalist (Starr King) seminary - https://holyhillberkeley.wordpress.com/2012/11/30/sksm/ - on so-called "Holy Hill," which may have now moved to downtown Oakland. And where have the hippies gone in Berkeley? And how to explain this sociologically too? Chuck Berry's song "Too Much Monkey Business" - 

 
came on Spotify music-streaming just as I was driving by here earlier this morning. And how could we see and live this in a #RealisticVirtualEarthForHistory a #RealisticVirtualEarthForCounterculture ... Kai grew up in Berkeley, and Ed, in SF, and some of us (not me so much) know Berkeley from the very late 1970s and 1980s, when hippies were still around en 'masses' (Gantt, are you hibernating up on the 3rd floor of your Highway 13 tree house in south Berkeley, or have you gone underground to Portland, Oregon, or ?) And can we all talk with all of you ethnographically for all of your knowledge of Berkeley in the 1970s for example?  

Book proposal for our proposed Reedie+ book group (on the 3rd Saturday of September or October in Canyon 94516 physically, and online? :)  I'm revisiting and rereading the John McPhee's great "Basin and Range," - a geological tour de rock-history - which Ed gave me some decades ago : https://www.hoopladigital.com/audiobook/basin-and-range-john-mcphee/13540634 - and wonder how best to begin to build this out in a realistic virtual earth for geology in Google AI studio - https://aistudio.google.com/apps - and even altogether at a Reedie + Book  group gathering. This could lay the groundwork so to speak for a #RealisticVirtualEarthFor #RVEforArchaeology #RVEForEverything #RVEforSTEM, including a #RealisticVirtualHarbin Hot Springs ... and a #RealisticVirtualEarth #RVEforThe1960s #RVEforThe1970s and a #RealisticVirtualOregon and #RealisticVirtualCalifornia etc and an exploratory co-creative process ... 

Stay tuned ... Begin reading ?? I think the great Hoopla Digital app may work better from the SF Public Library than the Contra Costa county library system ... so if you decide to get it from your public library and have a choice of counties, with better and worse IT, ... heads up .. 

Still taking those swimmers' and surfers' showers in state parks, and living out of the back a Toyota Sienna Woodland minivan as I and the WUaS academic medical center in an #WUaSMultimediaRoom seek to move forward into a newly safe, vacant, with deed 670 Ridgecrest rd, Canyon 94516 ... 

See you at the first very real (physical - and digital) proposed Reedie+ book group (on the 3rd Saturday of September or October) ... 

Nancy, which Anthony Doerr book would you recommend, and would you also recommend Reedie Janet Fitch's book "White Oleander" for our Reedie+ book group? (saw these authors online re a writers' group you're involved with in San Diego - https://myimwa.org/march-2023-member-of-the-month-nancy-osullivan/ ). :)

Dear Kristin (Connelly) re Contra Costa County Health Care Services, Ed (Smyth MD, KP NorCal), Sid (Mazumdar HHS, in the US federal government), all,

As a follow up to my email to you Kristin (Connelly) with attached CCC Medi-Cal request form below, I just called Contra Costa County at 866 663 3225, and giving my case number # 1B4RL66 and then further waded through about 10-15 minutes of CCC health care outgoing messages messages, including suggesting going to - https://benefitscal.com/ - & in seeking to speak with my caseworker, or a CCC representative, and then the call cut me off, suggesting calling again, or similar. What's up with being dropped from the waiting queue like I was? 

So I went to https://benefitscal.com/ and tried to report a change (after looking through a number of options), and the going through the steps for this, and added this as the change - 

"Per recent paper letter dated 8/2526 to me Gordon MacLeod, Worker M Medi-Cal English Only, ID 07LS10670X, (866) 663 3225, & per my Tu 9/1/26 email to Kristin Connelly about this, my Medicare number is 4HA0A78YR12 & I don't receive social security benefits"

and received a receipt for his in the PPSa, but I'm not sure if my change message went through. 


And per my letter yesterday, and the paper letter I received from you about 

"X Proof of social security benefits received - a copy of paid benefits stub or award letter for: 

Person
Gordon K MacLeod III 

Customer Notice
Please provide Medicare information and any Social Security award letter, if applicable.


I don't receive social security benefits 


C 1
and so there's no Proof of social security benefits received 


C 2

What to do please next

Thanks, Yogically (as in 8 limbs of Yoga), Friendly NtF Quaker and Unitarian church greetings, best wishes,

Dear Kristin (Connelly) re Contra Costa County Health Care Services, Ed (Smyth MD, KP NorCal), Sid (Mazumdar HHS, in the US federal government), Lt. John (Tadler, who attended a FBI workshop online in 2013 from Pittsburgh PA), US Senator and former Harvard law professor Elizabeth Warren, all,

Greetings, and as a follow up.

Am a little concerned that I haven't heard back from you, and haven't been able to get through to the Contra Costa county health care services today, and after my phone call to Contra Costa county health care services dropped me after a 10-15 minutes' wait with no access to case worker or a person or similar (and with Contra Costa county's IT and processes - and the CCc Medi-Cal site too - not working well or in the interests of the end users in my experience since around 2009 when I first moved into Canyon 94516). I've also asked before in writing to Contra Costa county what role organized crime might be playing in adjacent buildings to Contra Costa county ...e.g. in the former John F Kennedy university - and therefore in Contra Costa county health care services itself and among some employees potentially ... 

With one gunshot to my vehicle on M 5/18/26 on Skyline drive near chabot space and science center, and 5 tesla-companies' related death threats, another involving gunshots up on skyline drive too, and 3 appearing in my twitterX feeds, and not having moved in to a newly safe vacant with property deed 670 Ridgecrest Rd, Canyon 94516 since departing the east coast a 2nd time to return west on 12/31/2024, - for about 1 3/4 years - because in my analysis it had become safer (but apparently not) ... Having been underway, again, for a year and nearly 3/4 now, I am wondering what role international organized crime (and even regarding a very very small country in the middle east ... with my friend from Reed, Byron Hann MD PhD mentioning the name of the very creepy head of that small country the last time we spoke in front of his house in Moraga near Canyon 94516 a few weeks ago) might be playing even in Contra Costa county municipal offices ... and out of Canyon 94516 ... and having sought a US federal investigation into Canyon 94516, the SF East Bay even, the whole SF Bay Area, and into tesla / twitterX / spaceX re a us space agency even ... and the skyscraper across from the sf quajer meeting on 9th street, where twitterX / tesla / spaceX may have had offices on the 10 th floor etc ... and in possibly preying on kids even in the sf quajer meeting for example (about which I whistle-blew loudly much in around 2017).

In World University and School WUaS growing a worldwide abolition movement, to protect people, and with teslas regarding GPS and AI and ML - re violence gangs??? and death squads?? even (how many of them carry weapons even?), and in them seeking to institutionalize international organized crime in the sf east bay, and possibly on the west coast (as I wrote a Reed College friend the other day and see the PPPS aaa), I've posited a number of times - continuing to seem to swarm my vehicle on and offer - like today as I left from the cold swimmer's shower I had taken (and see the PPSaaa for a possible explanation from Stanford Law CodeX Director Roland Vogl ), I'm concerned about possibly heading into Contra Costa county health care services - since I couldn't get through today to a person - and getting videoed on the surveillance system, and then even Contra Costa county health care services' employees possibly contacting violence gangs for example, and having called for US federal protection for my mother, my brother and family on the eastern seaboard and myself many many months ago.  


So I'll try to call again tomorrow in the morning, and hope to speak with a Contra Costa county health care services' worker or representative person and re getting you this information - 

"Per recent paper letter dated 8/2526 to me Gordon MacLeod, Worker M Medi-Cal English Only, ID 07LS10670X, (866) 663 3225, & per my Tu 9/1/26 email to Kristin Connelly about this, my Medicare number is 4HA0A78YR12 & I don't receive social security benefits"

... or possibly wait for another paper letter in the Canyon 94516 ... and as teh US federal government potentially works effectively in new ways with the state of California and Contra Costa county law.

Thanks, abolition, Yogically (as in 8 limbs of Yoga), Friendly NtF Quaker and Unitarian church greetings, World Univ & Sch WUaS building on CC-4 licensed MIT OCW is growing, best wishes,

Part 1 | When AI Escapes the Screen: Robots, Autonomous Systems, and the Law of Physical-World AI


Join us for Season 2 of the Emerging Issues: AI and the Law webinar series as we explore the law of physical-world AI and robotics, the rise of autonomous agents in legal practice, and the geopolitics of AI export controls and national security.

AI law is no longer confined to software. As robots, delivery devices, and autonomous vehicles enter workplaces and public roads—sometimes under remote human supervision—companies face new exposure when AI causes physical harm. Following our first season on AI's informational outputs, this program examines the practical legal issues raised when AI acts in the physical world: workplace safety, bodily injury, product liability, recalls, and responsibility for remote fleet operations.

Topics we'll cover:

  • The federal and state direction of physical-world AI regulation
  • State-by-state autonomous-vehicle rules and remote-operator licensing
  • "Who is driving?" when one person supervises a fleet
  • Risk allocation, and contracting across the manufacturer–operator–deployer chain

Hi Adam (Hewitt, in Bellevue Washington) ... and a long time waldorf / camp hill / anthroposophy (re steiner ism - which is a bit of a cult to my way of thinking) teacher in the state of Washington,

Greetings. 

Thanks for the invitation, but no thanks. 

In growing a World Univ & Sch worldwide abolition movement to protect people, am deeply concerned about waldorf education and anthroposophy (steiner ism) being involved in international organized crime re the wrongful buying and selling of people eg of kids and women in the illegal sex, violence, military targeting industries internationally - and regarding reed college too having sought an ongoing us federal investigation into reed college many months ago. 

IN these WUaS abolition regards, I am also navigating 5 tesla companies' related death threats and a gunshot to vehicle on m 5/18/26 here - re tesla companies seeking to institutionalize international organized crime in the sf east bay and on the west coast too, I posit.

Yogically (as in 8 limbs of Yoga), Friendly NtF Quaker and Unitarian Universalist greetings, abolition, best wishes,

Dear Kristin (Connelly) re Contra Costa County Health Care Services, Ed (Smyth MD, KP NorCal), Sid (Mazumdar HHS, in the US federal government), US Senator and former Harvard law professor Elizabeth Warren, all,

Greetings. How are you? I tried to call the Contra Costa county health care number on my paper letter from you, to "Contact the county to find out how to submit your information online," and received the following message again: " Due to high call volume, we are unable to handle your call at this time." Having emailed you with the letter's requested information I think, I also logged into - https://benefitscal.com/Dashboard/DBCDB - and see this message: 

Things to do

You don’t have anything due at this time.


The letter also says "We must receive this information by 9/25/26 or you may lose your Medi-Cal benefits" -

I'm glad Contra Costa county's information technologies are interoperating with the US federal governments in new ways potentially, and per https://benefitscal.com/.


I'll assume I've provided the information to you per the CCc health services' paper letter.



On a related note, and again : 

When might I be able to move further fully into a newly safe, vacant, with the property deed 670 Ridgecrest Road, Canyon 94516 please? (I've been underway since I left asylum on the eastern seaboard in PA first on 12/10/24, and van camping since March 4, 2025, taking cold swimmers and surfers' showers in state parks, and am still quite impoverished, - and as I continue to grow free World University and School WUaS in all 200 countries and in all 7159 known living languages, and also in seeking to code for all 7.9 billion people on the planet potentially to facilitate free highest quality universal education end poverty worldwide by making Stanford Mine Pi free money daily a main worldwide cryptocurrency). Might I come out to the Contra Costa county municipal offices to sign the property deed soonish please, and thanks to Ed Smyth MD's precipitation of this beginning I think in March of 2022 when I was living in a safe house north of Berkeley in El Cerrito, before fleeing for my life I would say to the east coast on around August 1, 2022, I think)?

And further how best to sign the property deed for ownership 670 Ridgecrest Road, Canyon 94516 or similar, please? I continue to pay a monthly homeowner's insurance premium for this with LM Geico, and would like to schedule an inspection visit (and also for 3 insurance companies' claims regarding damage to my vehicle in about the last year, per ongoing reminders about this from my Geico car insurance). Might I even sign the property deed for ownership 670 Ridgecrest Road, Canyon 94516 online, or would it be best to come into the Contra Costa county municipal offices in Martinez, or? 

Thank you, abolition, best wishes, 
Scott Gordon K MacLeod
