Ma, All,
Looking forward to a walk this weekend, and as we say 'bye bye' before I head to the SF Bay Area on September 1 2023.
Your mentioning your current right hip issues and re our upcoming walk leads me to share some Iyengar Yoga with you and, as a Yoga teacher with a 2 year certificate from the Iyengar Yoga institute of SF - IN TERMS OF Alignment AND what poses you might gently do, gradually explore and also adapt (even for the centuries ahead with emerging aging reversal genetic drugs potentially) ...
Searched on -
'alignment for hip issues Iyengar yoga'
and found this video potentially helpful, many poses practiced on one's back restoratively -

5 Yoga Stretches To Provide Relief From Hip Pain.
Baddha Konasana (Butterfly Pose):
Ardha Matsyendrasana (Sitting Half Spinal Twist):
Ananda Balasana (Happy Baby Pose):
Gomukhasana (Cow Pose):
Viparita Karani (Legs Up The Wall Pose):
Might there be someone with Yoga knowledge at Longw... (or in Oakmont or Verona) who could help you explore these poses or asana with attention to alignment, balance, and detail?
Love, Scott
PS
Would love to teach you these Yoga pose explorations INTERACTIVELY online via the internet further perhaps after exploring these in person once or twice before I depart - on Cuttyhunk even? You've occasionally mentioned hip pain in recent years, Ma, and doing Yoga asana can help relieve this, with many other benefits.

I also practiced these five asana this morning after Yoga meditation first thing upon rising -
Baddha Konasana
Ardha Matsyendrasana
Ananda Balasana
Gomukhasana (Head of a cow pose)
Viparita Karani
(Due to an old right shoulder injury, I have some further explorations in releasing the arms in Gomukhasana (Head of a cow pose) I just discovered ... the legs in Gomukhasana help with alleviating hip pain).

What method does Google use for Street View?
Google collects Street View imagery (data) by driving, pedaling, sailing and walking around and capturing imagery with special cameras that simultaneously collect images in multiple directions. The images are later overlapped and stitched together into a single 360-degree image. Where is Street View?

Thanks for your support and encouragement of daily Yoga meditation (think Angela and Victor inspired, and relaxation response meditation as well ~ and as exploring consciousness), which I find salutary and so gravitate to this for the inner releasing action first thing in the morning, and of playing Piobaireachd classical Scottish bagpiping music these days, just before going to bed, and prettiest Piobaireachd (which sing to me) that I can find :)
Ma, so we can do Yoga asana together for your hip, shall you and I head up to Cuttyhunk in 2 cars on July 31st or August 1st and spend much of August there (especially since my lease is ending on M July 31, 2023), coming and going? (I may explore, for example, heading up to Antigonish, Nova Scotia to see if I can talk with John Walsh bagpipe maker about tuning all 3 chanters - B flat, A and D - to the 4 drones (and with the combo drone) maybe even seeking a lesson or a chat from great Scottish Small Pipes' maker John Walsh himself.)
Exploring further and creatively questions about consciousness, studying consciousness regarding philosophy of mind (possibly insoluble body-mind questions), studying Yoga consciousness scientifically and with a Realistic Virtual Earth For Species, Realistic Virtual Earth For Consciousness, a Realistic Virtual Earth For Brain Science, ~ and with the joy of meditating first thing in the morning -

Ma, All,
Re Yoga, and inspirations too -
Mary Dunn was an Iyengar Yoga teacher I sought to study with after she moved from San Diego in around 1986 to NYC, and moved across the country to do so, from Portland, Oregon, not long after graduating from Reed College (with an interest in hippy communities too, like Alpha Farm in the Oregon coastal range, and in Quakers / Friends), but the dynamic, amazing Yoga teacher (Yoga philosopher in a sense as well) Mary Dunn hadn't quite become established in NYC, so she said she wouldn't become my teacher, and instead (thanks in part to my uncle Bruce Macleod) I enrolled at Pendle Hill Quaker Center for Study and Contemplation for 3 terms (and worked in the Pendle Hill Bookstore and Publishing House for 2.5 years after this), SW of Philadelphia PA, near Swarthmore College and a fascinating Quaker community that began in the 1930s, and outside the organizational structure of Quaker Monthly Meetings, Quarterly Meetings, and Yearly Meetings for example. Mary Dunn passed on with cancer not long after she moved to NYC
Here's the remarkable Mary Dunn talking about her mother, and travelling together, and so much more, with her mother present (interesting!) -
Mary Dunn - On Mary Palmer Mary Dunn's inspiring teaching Couch Pose (Restorative Yoga, Iyengar style) -
"Mary Dunn - Paryankasana - State College, PA
Mary Dunn teaches Paryankasana in State College, PA in October of 1996"
Angela Farmer - dedicated to her mother -
Angela Farmer - The Feminine Unfolding (1999)
Victor teaching with Angela - partner work -
Angela Farmer and Victor van Kooten: Partner Shoulder Opening Assist, Part 2 of 2. (2010)
Glad Angela and Victor are still alive (and are visionary old hippy Yoga teachers too) ... They left Iyengar Yoga quite dramatically in the 1980s I think ... with Victor publicly denouncing, I think, the institutionalization of Iyengar Yoga in SF at a conference there. (He's an artist too, and made some interesting T-Shirts about this and with reasons, photos of which I still have).

Other groups have even broader aspirations, aiming to build generalized “foundation models for biology” that can fuse diverse data types spanning genomics, protein sequences, cellular structures, epigenetic states, cell images, mass spectrometry, spatial transcriptomics and beyond.
