Monday, November 3rd, 2008My apparent inability to remember anatomical planes of movement and position has me less troubled at the moment. Slowly, they are sinking in. I was once complimented on the awe-inspiring of my memory in terms of remembering relatively useful information. Now, I suppose the challenge here is how to take this information and apply it to my regular life of a computer-programming, project-managing professional who spends far too many hours in a day in front of a desk. The trick, I imagine, is to bring my yoga into the office. While sitting at my desk, ensuring the straightness of my spine, that both feet are planted firmly into the ground, and recognizing the terms of movement that are in use when I am engaged with my keyboard – protraction and retraction, medial and lateral rotation as I shake my hands out to bring relief to my wrists, and elevation and depression of my chair when I adjust it accordingly. There is really something to be said for the interconnectedness of all things, and bringing this awareness to the office with me is likely to alter the ways in which I perceive my work environment and the occasional stressful elements of it.
