YIN YOGA
Yin yoga: App, Books, Teacher trainings & Workshops
Magdalena Mecweld is a leading voice in Yin yoga in Scandinavia, with more than two decades of teaching yoga.
Over the years, together with her partner, Mats Nielsen, she has educated thousands of Yin yoga teachers across Scandinavia and written two widely used books on Yin yoga, rest, and recovery.
Her work is rooted in presence, accessibility, and long-term well-being, shaped by real bodies, real lives, and long-term teaching experience. This platform brings together decades of practice with a deep, ongoing study of meditation and mindfulness—expressed through Yin yoga, stillness, and awareness.
The Yin Yoga App
The app offers Yin yoga sessions, meditations, and breathing practices, developed through years of teaching and close attention to students’ needs.
It is designed to be used when needed—at home, while travelling, or as part of everyday life. Available soon in English.
