Furthermore, other teachings from India flowed into China and evolved there and co-mingled with teachings already extant there, Buddhism, for example. Why couldn't this have occurred with yoga?
This doesn't necessarily undermine your point that what is being taught as "Yin Yoga" is not, as you appear to suggest, some sort of non-Chinese invention. But your statement, as I interpret it through my own reality tunnel, could use some clarification.
Your other point about (Zink's) reputation based on "rumors" raises concerns about how you may have reached your other conclusions. Humans, even the greatest, most inspirational ones, can be found (by at least one person or another) to have flaws and failings. I don't know much about Paulie Zink (less than you seem to, obviously), but I think many of us might know of a few teachers who remain inspirational and helpful, despite any scandals that might have cropped up around them--Osho, Chogyam Trungpa, Yogi Bhajan, and many, many others.
But again, you might have the makings of some sort of "valid point" - but I don't think you make it well by supporting it with rumor and innuendo.
I would enjoy hearing more from you on this topic, particularly some supporting data for point #1.
Thank you, Yulaw.
Respectfully...
