Thoughts on this word?

Let's chat about the word "soften." 

It's one of those terms that can make you think of things being all loosey-goosey, right? 

Like, when you hear it, you might imagine being  floppy, feeble or just not strong. And if I tell you to soften your center, you might think, "Uh-oh, does that mean I gotta lose all my muscle tone?"

But hold up a sec! 

Softening doesn't mean turning into a human marshmallow. 

It's more about finding a bit more chill in your body while still keeping those muscles engaged.

See, a lot of our everyday moves are driven by the same old muscles doing all the heavy lifting.

They're like the workaholics of our muscle crew.

Now, picture this: imagine someone who's always chasing perfection in everything they do. They're constantly pushing themselves to the limit, afraid that any hint of softness might make them seem weak or lazy. But guess what? All that pushing often just keeps them stuck in the same old rut, tense as can be.

So, when we talk about softening, we're talking about giving those overworked muscles a break and letting some of the other guys chip in. 

It's like a team effort, you know? And by doing that, we can actually free up our bodies to move more freely and feel better overall.

So, are you down to think about softening in a new way?

Let's shake things up a bit and see what happens! 

In our latest Real Life, Real Moves for Real Life video, we're focusing on softening through the center. And hey, if you missed the first part, no worries! You can catch it here.

I wanna hear from you, though! 

What's your take on the whole softening vibe? Could it be the secret sauce to smoother moves, reduced pain, and less stress? 

Reply to this email and let me know which exercise from the video gave you that "ahh" moment.


Stay well and happy moving,
