Yin Yoga

My yin yoga teacher Sarah Powers is such a great inspiration. I went to numerous workshops with her until one day I decided to do a yin yoga teacher training. This was many years ago, so the teacher training was shorter than they are now, it relied on the participants being yoga teachers already. I was living at London at the time the teacher training was at the Tri Yoga studio just off Carnaby Street. I loved, and still do despite being back in Malmö again, that studio. It is a sanctuary away from the shopping and hustle a place to breathe.

It was fun. Sarah encouraged us to spread the yin yoga message. We were about 40-50 participants and among them, we were four from Sweden. To my joy I discovered that one of us, Magdalena Mecweld, has now written a book in Swedish about Yin Yoga and she has also released an app for yin yoga practice. Her books will be released in English in the fall 2014!
