«Awakening is really a series of softenings» - Richard Rudd
Welcome to a special evening at Northern Light with Mats and Magnus, exploring the art of softening.
Through breath, movement and mindful presence we will explore how we can regain our natural capacity to soften, leading to a more open, fluent and embodied state of presence.
Softness in this context is not about becoming limp, but about learning how to be flexible and relaxed in the face of life's turbulence. When stiffened places in the body and mind soften, life force can flow more freely, which also gives new possibilities for who we can be, and what kind of life we can lead.
"The soft overcomes the hard; the gentle overcomes the rigid" - Lao Tzu
The first part of the evening will consist of an exploration of the physical body through Yin Yoga, an introspective form of embodied practice where all postures are done lying down or sitting.
The second half of the evening will take place in the name of the breath, and will be done lying down on your back. Through open and conscious breathing, we will explore how we can regain flexibility throughout the mind body complex.
The evening will also provide space for joint exploration and sharing of what lies behind each microscopic softening.
