Chapter 05 · Reading companion
Poses, Flows, and Meditations
The book’s largest chapter is a reference collection. Its poses are arranged alphabetically, followed by flows and meditations; it is not a progression from easy exercises to advanced ones.
A new companion to the original chapter, developed with AI assistance. Summaries and practice connections are adaptations, rather than a transcription.

The opening explains that this chapter is meant to be consulted rather than read straight through as a sequence. Look up a practice with its context, rather than assuming the next entry is the next exercise to attempt.
A flow can be adapted
The book invites readers to explore parts of a flow and develop sequences suited to their circumstances. The digital school begins with a short, gentle movement lesson and clearly identifies its changes from the source.
Stillness belongs here too
The meditation collection includes Chair Meditation, Tree of Life, Witness Meditation, and “Thank You, I Love You.” The new Meditation with a Tree lesson offers a simple observation sequence with natural breathing and usual supports.
