For years, more and more athletes have been participating in all kinds of yoga practice to strengthen and improve their balance, physical mental performance in elite sports. Even for casual golfers, yoga can have an immediate and dramatic impact on one's game: helping prevent injuries & strain, reducing strokes and improving overall control of ball flight. CPGA Professional, Chima McLean who has now been practicing yoga for more than a decade, says “Yoga is a great help to golf… It previously helped my back problems immensely to the point where I can walk carrying my golf bag again… I now recommend all my clients try yoga – even if they don’t immediately realize the benefits of increased mental focus, added strength and personal control over stress, everyone can enjoy golf more with the added flexibility from yoga.”Mike, a yoga for golf student at The Adelaide Club in Toronto shared his success story: “I’m currently playing to a 12 handicap, drive the ball 265-270 on average. After just one class, I found two major improvements in two consecutive rounds. Specifically my short to mid iron game, without even knowing it, I was able to get my club to the top of my backswing with ease and in combination with breathing exercises (again subconsciously) recoil my body with an effortless tempo… key result was my ability to control ball flight, high or low, whatever the situation required. Both rounds I scored 5 strokes lower than average, but maybe the best part of all is an increased confidence level over the golf shot. For the record, I’m not a gadget, watch videos how to improve your game type guy, I just like to go out and play. What intrigued me about this was that I’ve always had an interest in yoga (primarily for the long tem benefits), but never the courage not the time, as a lover of the game, simply attaching the word “golf” to it and concentration of the “core” (which is the golf swing), was enough for me to try it.
