Description

How YIN YOGA Got its namePaul Grilley studied Taoist Yoga with Master Zink for about a year in the late 1980’s and learned Master Zink’s beginning level of the art. Grilley taught the basics he learned about Taoist Yoga to Sarah Powers. Sarah began teaching what she learned from Grilley and changed the name to Yin Yoga. Grilley also incorporates his own philosophy and theories and that which he learned from his studies with Dr. Motoyama into his teachings. In order to avoid confusion Master Zink now refers to his Taoist art of yoga as Yin yoga or Yin and Yang yoga.Paulie’s Yin Yoga Beginner’s DVD covers postures for each of the Five Elements:Earth, metal, Water, Wood, and FireThese are the five transforming alchemical elements that are contained in the universal life field and animate distinct qualities in the body, such as lightness, fluidity, strength, springiness, and calm.
