These are the only Yin Yoga Teacher Certification Courses authorized by Yin yoga founder Master Paulie Zink. The purpose of Yin yoga is to restore and enhance our innate ability to move with fluidity, power, and grace. Learn to teach the art of Yin yoga the way the founder intended it to be taught. Yin and yang are inseparable polarities of a whole. They represent the feminine and masculine principles of dynamic opposites such as hard and soft, cold and hot, dark and light, stillness and activity. At the most fundamental level the interplay of yin and yang creates the vibration of energy or life force that informs all of creation.
Paulie Zink's complete art of Yin yoga actually encompasses both yin and yang postures. Specific exercises are used to cultivate and balance the yin and yang aspects of our individual Qi, or life force.
Yin yoga is based upon the alchemical elements of Earth, Metal, Wood, Water, and Fire that each express distinct quality in the body and emotions, such as lightness, fluidity, strength, springiness, and calm. In addition, the postures and movements of Yin yoga are sourced from the characteristics of many types of animals. When the benefits of these healing modalities are practiced in combination, the natural physical and emotional attributes of the elemental energies are enlivened within us and we begin to awaken to our deep interconnection with the primal power of being incarnate. This liberates us from the thinking obsessed analytical mind and enables us to become more playful, spontaneous, and resilient.
