Yoga Anatomy, Physiology and Yin Yoga with Paul Grilley November 8-9, 2008 
Taoist Yoga emphasizes the critical difference between the Yin and Yang tissues of the body. Muscle tissue is Yang, connective tissue is Yin. These two types of tissue do not respond to training in the same way, and a student’s practice becomes more effective when the difference is understood. Muscle tissue is trained by contraction and movement. Connective tissue is trained by long, static holds. Students will learn how to analyze a Yoga posture to determine which joints are involved and which are limiting the range of motion. In particular we will focus on the five movements of the hip and the six movements of the spine that need to be addressed in any Yoga practice. We will develop a Yin practice, which emphasizes holding Yin (floor) postures up to five minutes. This type of practice is new to most students of Yoga, and it is a wonderful complement to the more muscular styles of asana practice. |

Although our bodies are complex, a few basic anatomical ideas, once understood, can vastly improve the efficiency and results of our Yoga practice. By learning to recognize the anatomy of movement and its relation to the flow of energy in our bodies we can recover the original intention of physical Yoga practice which is the harmonizing of one’s own prana and the effortless extension of one’s meditation practice. Paul Grilley was featured in the August 2001 issue of Yoga Journal. He
has been teaching Yoga since 1980 and has
recently written a book entitled “Yin Yoga”. Paul practices
Yoga postures in the style of Paulie Zink, and his presentation
of Yoga philosophy is patterned after his teacher, Dr. Hiroshi Motoyama—a
Yogi and scientist from Tokyo, Japan.
This philosophy integrates the Toaist Meridian and Acupuncture theories
of China with the Yogic and Tantric theories of India. Paul lives
