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

The biceps can get so tight. If you think about it, your biceps are often passively contracted — or flexed — when you are working on a computer. Look at the arms. They are at a right angle. The same dynamic happens with the hamstrings in the seated position. This flow will open up the biceps and counterbalance the load from many hours spent on a computer.
