1. semi-supine. this is something i learned from a friend who gave me an alexander technique session. the books under the head are important. you want to balance your knees in a way that feels effortless which will take some messing around alexander-technique-online.com/defining-the-a

this one is weirdly stressful for me legs start jerking and tremoring

yeah that sounds like you're edging closer to trauma release / somatic experiencing territory then maybe? that happens to me with several of the TREs too, i should maybe say something

yeah I can tap into tre tremors kinda whenever in that posture. seems to be maybe good tho like, it's very un-dramatic and I don't feel like it's going anywhere? I was doing that a lot for a few months and stopped mostly, don't know why

it feels very very gently relaxing, I always expect trauma stuff to be catastrophic and if it isn't I assume it isn't working

gently relaxing sounds good to me!
