Vinyasa yoga reached the U.S. in the 1970s through Pattabhi Jois, leading to the rise of Yin yoga, credited to Paulie Zink, Paul Grilley, and Sarah Powers. Yin yoga, rooted in Taoism, offers distinct benefits by stretching fascia through prolonged pose holds. Gaining traction in studios, Yin yoga complements more vigorous practices by enhancing flexibility and recovery. Its focus on the fascia has made it a valuable addition to the holistic yoga landscape, promoting both physical well-being and energy balance.
Vinyasa yoga, introduced in the 1970s, paved the way for various styles, including Yin yoga, which emphasizes stretching deeper connective tissues over longer holds.
Yin yoga, inspired by ancient Taoism, emphasizes the significance of fascia, connecting the practice to both physical and energetic aspects of health through long-held postures.
