Yoga for Golfers

After 30 years of doing yoga and even longer playing golf, I devised a twelve-week session that will help golfers with their game in the offseason. The golf season in Binghamton, NY as we all know is a short one each year. Instead of waiting for the snow to melt, join me during the winter months at the studio. For twelve weeks, we’ll work on your flexibility, create body awareness, teach you the proper way to breathe, and improve your strength and focus. Every week we’ll have a different focus, all leading up to you being ready for the golf season in the spring. Call (607)372-8461 for more details.

Here’s the breakdown for the 12 weeks…

intro to yoga - the bare basics, learning how yoga will improve your golf game
foundation(feet, core) - it all starts from here. the key to a stable house is a strong foundation. The same is for a stable golf swing.
movement with breath - Learning how to use the breath to move seamlessly from one pose to the next in yoga and how that correlates with your golf swing.
low back(flexibility, strength) - many golfers have low back pain. We’ll dive deep into the low back, see if the pain is due to low back tightness, weakness, or if the pain derives from another part of the body.
hips(flexibility, strength) - a powerful golf swing starts with a powerful hip turn. We’ll dive in deep to all the muscles of the hips, how to stretch them and how to harness their power.
shoulders(flexibility, strength) - See above, just substitute shoulders for hips!
power - we’ll be building power this week though holding standing poses. You’ll thank me when you’re still strong late into your round!
stability and balance - Stability and balance go hand in hand. If you have problems keeping your balance, yoga practice will provide for a better center of gravity, which is ideal for improving your golf swing.
muscle rotation - the one most important thing you’re NOT doing in your golf swing. It’s the game changer!
dynamic stretching - getting longer muscles when you didn’t even know you were stretching!
the mental game - Mental training is as important as the physical training. learn how to train your mind and how to be focused and be in the present moment.
Before and after your round - Learn what exercises to do before you step up to the first tee and what stretches to do after your round to keep you feeling good the next day.
