That cetainly kept me aware!<BR/><BR/>Jen--interesting about the wiring. I often wonder why we privilege different sides for different things. I always figured it was because of handed-ness, but I guess there's more.<BR/><BR/>Y'all are the best!Brenda P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15706976926804565629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28555295.post-57701230608771610432008-05-19T20:18:00.000-05:002008-05-19T20:18:00.000-05:00I seem to remember (from high school biology class...I seem to remember (from high school biology class) that crossing the left index finger on top is the dominant gene and the right the recessive (or vice versa) so I guess in some respects it is hard wired in us to do it one way or another.

Mentioned in a NYT article on May 4th, "Can You Become a Creature of New Habits?" <BR/><BR/>Check your email for more details.<BR/><BR/>I'm enjoying the blog. Helps me take a moment out of my week to sit up straight and <I>breathe</I>. I hope to get back to classes soon! -- LisaLisa V.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13617449701620361929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28555295.post-818083300090853302008-05-19T08:33:00.000-05:002008-05-19T08:33:00.000-05:00My bells are ringing! :) A while back, I tried br...My bells are ringing! :) <BR/><BR/>A while back, I tried brushing my teeth with my left hand (I'm right handed). Very awkward, but it really brought to my attention how automatic certain things become. <BR/><BR/>More recently, I was introduced to the "Rocket II" series in a workshop. Larry Shultz of It's Yoga in San Fran, CA took the 1-3 series in the Ashtanga Practice and combined "advanced" posed into a new sequence. To work outside the box, so to speak. <BR/><BR/>I absolutely loved it! Being able to work on a variety of poses outside the Primary Series of the Ashtanga Sequence to stretch and build strength in different ways. <BR/><BR/>So I took it to my classes, just as a fun night, and it was interesting to see who was paying attention and who's mind was on automatic. Several students commented after class how they liked it because in the Ashtanga sequence you get used to doing the same. thing. every. week. <BR/><BR/>I love the idea of not only shaking up a yoga routine, but shaking up one's routine at home too (brush with the left hand, try switching hands when washing dishes). I think this helps us be more flexible in our out look on life too. <BR/><BR/>Thanks!Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03357694767883126311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28555295.post-4521815316746867122008-05-19T07:01:00.000-05:002008-05-19T07:01:00.000-05:00I think this may be what you're looking for.
