About this edition

The original text, lists, and meditation cues below preserve the book’s wording, with page footers and layout whitespace removed. The AI application and reflection are new adaptations.

This source page is a flow overview and pose inventory, rather than complete step-by-step instruction. The new application below is an attention or work exercise, separate from the physical sequence.

Historical and scientific claims, including the benefits listed in the source, have not yet undergone a complete evidence review.

The original flow overview

This flow is best done daily, and it only takes a few minutes to complete. It is the single best way I know to start the habit of yoga. It gets right to the core — awakening and loosening up the middle of the body and the spine.

Poses / Exercises

  1. Spinal Flossing
  2. Knees-to-Chest
  3. Bridge Pose

Benefits listed in the original book
