What students are saying
What magic! What fun! I can’t even wrap my mind around what happened in that room. Paulie is such a gifted teacher and an amazing person. I’m inspired to practice once again and my body feels so FREE!
I have noticed myself flowing in and out of postures quite naturally while engaged in everyday activities. What a fun way to move around!
Paulie's encouragement to honor our own flow and creativity has truly been a precious key. I can feel green shoots heading in new directions already. I am so grateful to you.
Yin Yoga
The original Yin yoga is based on the postures and movements of animals. This practice is much deeper than just mimicking animals.
It's about embodying the energetic qualities of the five elements and various creatures and bringing forth the power of our primal nature.
Yin yoga founder, Paulie Zink, explains, "I loved doing Hatha yoga, but I was disappointed that it was limited in the ability to flow and open up to an art form. I wanted to create something completely free and open and imaginative."
Online Teacher Training
The Yin yoga founder certification differs significantly from standard Yin yoga certification courses. Paulie's method of teaching is largely experiential. His course covers dozens of postures, variations, and flow sequences. Paulie offers a few short lectures, but he primarily explains the practice and his teaching methods while actively guiding the yoga sessions.
An optional book outline is required for certification. There are no written assignments given during the classes. Participants receive a 42-page Teacher Manual which includes over 75 posture illustrations.
Monkey Kung fu
Paulie was privately trained for ten years in Chi kung and three distinct styles of martial arts collectively called Monkey Kung fu. Paulie practiced on cement and his training was very harsh and demanding. Paulie was never charged for his training. Instead, his master demanded that Paulie compete in dozens of martial art tournaments.
Paulie became a three time International martial arts grand champion renowned for his fluidity, flexibility, artistry and power. He has been inducted into three martial art halls of fame. He has been featured in several martial art training videos and many magazine articles. Paulie is known as "America's Monkey King."

"For me, Paulie’s art of Yin yoga is a physical and spiritual unification through breathing, movement, and complete attention to doing the practice.
The most striking element of Paulie's teaching is the focus on awakening, balancing, and flowing energy through the body.

Yin yoga founder, Paulie Zink, explains why students often advance faster practicing his art than they do with other styles and teaching methods.
"Students respond better because they have fun. I make it so that they're having fun and enjoying it. But also, they're unlocking their passion. A lot of people don't have the passion for what they do until they really experience the animals, the elements, and the flows that opens them up to their primal spirit.
A lot of people think yoga should be real serious and make it a chore. They do this chore for health. But if you look at it as opening up to fun and play with the elements and the animals, I think that brings forth happiness. When you're happy when you do something and you have a passion for what you're doing then you'll do it much better than somebody who does it as a chore for their health.
I see so many people doing yoga and they’re not having a good time doing it. They're rather staid and reserved. And they're just going through the motions. There's no love or passion there. But if you can get the students to feel passion and love for what they're doing, and to look forward to coming back, then they will grow more and grow faster.
I’ve had students tell me how they have had teachers who were really serious and who also gave continuous instruction such as to make sure you engage a particular muscle, or to do this, or think about that. They're always thinking too much. They’re intellectualizing the practice. And they’re training the students to constantly be thinking about what they are doing instead of FEELING what they are doing.
I’ve seen how when the students are having fun playing, it unlocks their passion, it helps them to learn better. At first they may not have the passion when they come in to class. But once they start to have fun it somehow opens them up like a flower in bloom."
Yin yoga founder Paulie Zink, is a multifaceted instructor of rare quality. He is a yoga master, a Qigong expert, and an internationally acclaimed martial arts grand champion. The combination of his exceptional background, knowledge, and skill makes him unique among yoga teachers in the Western world.
In order to achieve this degree of mastery, he underwent demanding training and esoteric disciplines which emphasized cultivating the felt awareness and embodiment of one’s intuitive, instinctual, and mystical natures. As a result, he can actualize the power and spontaneity, the flowing movement and wild spirit that are inherent in our awakened primal energy. He has been teaching Yin yoga for over 45 years.
