📖 Static demo — read-only snapshot
You’re browsing a static build of the Body IQ knowledge graph, so everything loads with no backend. A few things that need the live server are turned off here:
- Global search (sidebar) is disabled — it queries the API.
- The JSON API and the API “Try it” playgroundaren’t included.
- The data is a snapshot — it refreshes only when the demo is rebuilt, not live from the database.
Everything else — the body map, progression ladders, coverage heatmap, exercise finder, and all anatomy/exercise/source pages — works fully. The full app (live search + API + database) runs from the source on GitHub.
Single-Task Posture Awareness Drill
Positions & Range of Motion
- Start
- seated performing a routine task (typing, reading, drinking) with attention directed to one chosen postural element (foot contact, ribcage stack, or shoulder position)
- End
- same seated task posture, first held ~30 s of non-judgmental noticing, then ~30 s of gentle deliberate adjustment of that single element
- Range of Motion
- static seated posture — minimal joint excursion; attention-based sensory drill with only small deliberate postural corrections
How to Perform
During a routine task (typing, reading, drinking water), pick ONE postural element to attend to — foot contact, ribcage stack, shoulder position. Hold deliberate attention on that single element for ~30 s without trying to change it, then for ~30 s while gently adjusting.

Coaching Cues
- 1
One element at a time — multitasking attention defeats the drill
(verbal) - 2
Noticing without judgment first; correction second
(verbal)
Evidence-Based Dosing & EMG Data
30–60 s, 3–5×/day. Cycle through different postural elements across the week.
Muscles Involved (0)
No muscles linked.
Easier Variations ↓
Pre-Task Check-In
Just notice for 10 s before starting the task, no correction.
Harder Variations ↑
Element Cycling
Stack two postural elements: notice foot contact AND breath rate together.

Research Notes
Feldenkrais-informed mindful learning — attention to organizing the body in movement cultivates a transferrable skill of attention. Active attentional component distinguishes from passive ergonomic reminders [Clark 2015 Front Hum Neurosci].
