Here’s the third of our Yoga for golf lessons.  In a few minutes you can stretch, unknot those muscles and limber up in preparation for that new season looming.  This lesson concentrates on a couple of stretches to help rotation and spine flexibility – and they feel so good to do!  Remember to run through the warm up Carol showed you in lesson One to get you ready, and then dive into these poses.

Yoga for Golf – get fit for 2010!

Feb 14 2010

Feeling a bit creaky? Belt still a bit snug after xmas? Not been playing much in the bad weather? Well ditch the excuses and join us for a little pre-season preparation. We’ll have you fit as a flea in time the first proper golf of the year (the defininition of proper golf is a) less that 12 layers of clothing, b) no temporaries and c) NO TROLLEY BANS).

Yoga is a perfect exercise for golf; it helps your flexibility, strength, balance, protection against injury…and at the same time it sorts your head out; improving focus and relaxation.

Carol Jackson, our Yoga guru, has ten online lessons all ready for you, with one appearing on the blog each week. So here’s the first. It’s a handy little warm up that you can use before the other lessons, or on the tee before you play.

Big thanks to Freehand for their superb video production and, of course to Carol herself for putting the programme together
