It is certainly a controversial idea and the opposite of what we are told to believe, but yoga and meditation believes in softness, kindness and the gentle nature of both mind and body. Positivity researcher, Dr Barbara Fredrickson, points out how a soft torso may bring ease into our life: “With positive emotion there’s more of an easiness in the torso, and I think that’s consequential because other people can pick that up and it’s a safety signal for others that this person is safe to approach. So there’s ways in which that openness both characterises the mindset and the posture and certainly the face too…”
