Like Duolingo, but for The Fluidity Habit: Beyond Basic Stretching. Tomo turns the whole topic into a game you play five minutes a day, until it actually sticks.
A short one: 26 levels across 3 sections, about 52 minutes end to end, roughly 10 days at five minutes a day. It moves through Mastering the Micro-Stretch, Reading Your Body's Signals, and Designing Your Personal Flow. It assumes you already know the basics.

Key ideas in The Fluidity Habit: Beyond Basic Stretching
- Static postures cause tissues to stiffen and lock in place over time
- Dead time occurs during short, unavoidable waiting periods
- Frequent movement breaks the cycle of stiffness before it becomes set
- Effective triggers are tasks that don't require your hands or full focus
- Identifying 'dead time' opportunities for mobility resets
- Micro-stretches should match the physical constraints of the waiting area
- Specific stretches target the areas most strained by the preceding activity
- Mapping specific waiting periods to appropriate micro-stretches
- Slumping forward shortens chest muscles and overstretches the upper back
- Sitting for hours keeps the front of the hips in a shortened, tight position
- Productive stretches feel like a dull 'good' ache in the muscle belly
- Sharp or radiating sensations indicate nerve or joint compression and require stopping
- Productive vs harmful sensations
- Frequent movement prevents muscles from 'setting' in a shortened position
- Matching specific desk-bound stiffness to the correct targeted movement
- Short, consistent desk-side movements maintain blood flow and muscle length better than one-off sessions
