Background:
Back in 2016 Jenny Åsenlund became a Certified Yinyoga instructor. Yinyoga was not so common back then, but Jennys soul told her that it is important for her self to stay longer in the positions and to guide others in to the stillness and magic that follows. When she found out that there is a yogaform that acutally embody this wisdom. She knew it was for her. She is not surpriced yinyoga has now almost 10 years later become one of the most popular yogaforms in Sweden. In the fast pased life most people live this is a perfect balance.
Her passion is to share the magical and transformative effects of Yin Yoga on health and well-being. Yin Yoga is a powerful practice for stress relief, self-healing, and deepening self-awareness. With gentle guidance, you are invited into relaxation and acceptance of the present moment, creating a space of ease and openness.
Through seated and reclining postures, supported by cushions, you soften your muscles and release tension deep into the connective tissues. Each pose is held for about five minutes, allowing you to fully connect with your body and breath. No prior experience is needed—just an open heart and a willingness to slow down.
In Jennys classes she has diffrent thems to help you also relax your mind and come in to your heart and calm you nervoussystem. A spiritual practice to let yourself be held and healed from every day worries and get insight on your lives path. You will also feel very supported since she will help you if you have trouble with some posses and adjust for your needs. In the deepest relaxation magic happens. This is the feminin yogaform where you do not push you let your self be held. You will guided back to your breath over and over, since beeing aware of the breath is central, to be able to relax from over-thinking.
After the Asanas, physical practices and the relaxation, Savasanna, most of Jennys classes ends with a Meditation. Often a mantrasong, to listen to or to chant/sing along to, if you prefer. A beautiful loving way to integrate the practice and land in a loving way into your body and soul.
Forskning som visar på varför långsam stretching. Varför dessa utstuderade positioner, som utförs i yinyogan, har så hälsosamma effekter. Ta del av forskningen här: https://oshercenter.org/2018/05/24/stretching-reduces-tumor-growth-in-a-mouse-breast-cancer-model/
”Anti-inflammatorisk yoga” borde man kallas yinyoga eftersom det nu är fastställt att det är just inflammationer som minskar med hjälp av långsam, länge hållen stretch = yin (läs om forskaren Helen Langevins forskning HÄR). Genom den länge hållna passiva stretchen öppnas alltså fascian (bindväven) upp och kroppen får ”andas” och kylas ner. Förutom diverse sjukdomar hör åldrande främst ihop med just inflammation. Stress är den främsta inflammatoriska orsaken och yinyogan är avstressande.
