In this short explanatory video, the speaker outlines the often‑overlooked origins of Yin Yoga, emphasizing that it is frequently taught incorrectly today. The narrative traces the style’s creation to Paul Grilley, who sought to blend anatomical insight with yoga practice after being inspired by tai‑chi teacher Pauli Zink. Grilley partnered with Sarah Powers, who helped translate the concepts into a usable system for students. Their early work was documented by student Bernie Clark, whose book and $49 online anatomy course continue to preserve the original teachings. The speaker laments that modern practitioners rarely know these founders or the true history of Yin Yoga.
