Yoga and Golf
Fitness May 23rd, 2007Let’s face it – golf is just as much a mental game as it is a physical one, if not more so. The sport requires you to analyze, be alert and remain logical at all times. You also have to have a certain amount of intuition to play well.
It’s also a sport that requires physical flexibility. There’s no better preparation for both of these stresses – mental and physical – than yoga.
Yoga is a collection of techniques and practices all aimed at integrating your mind and body to achieve a state of enlightenment. If it sounds sorta ‘zen’, that’s because it is! Yoga, through a series of stretches and poses provide you with the opportunity to relax, meditate and become more flexible. All will give you a more centered feeling that will help at home and on the course.
During the yoga sessions, you will learn exercises to help leg strength, upper body strength, body alignment, and strengthening the back, arms and shoulders.
So if you want to improve your game and get into the “zone”, find a yoga class or instructor near you!
