Dr Jason Loken, ND interviews Paulie Zink, the founder of Yin Yoga. Paulie elaborates on the origins of his yoga style. He shares the influences that both nature and the animals have had on its development, how Yin yoga relates to healing and the 5-element theory of Chinese Medicine and how the embodiment of this experiential practice could well be the fountain of youth and health that we have all been looking for.

Paulie Zink developed Yin yoga in the 1980’s. Bernie Clark did not even meet Paulie Zink until 2007. Bernie Clark is not the foremost authority on Paulie Zink’s life, his biology, nor his achievements. Paulie Zink is the only foremost authority on himself and his complete art of Yin yoga.
