Yogalates For Golf
Yogalates for Golf
To swing a golf club simply rotate back then rotate forward while shifting your weight
accordingly around the axis of motion of each hip. To this simple version of the swing,
add a few things such as a good grip, proper weight transfer, maintain spine angles, stay
balanced, correct tempo, proper alignment, etc, and youve got every reason to expect a
single digit handicap. Golfers for the ages have pondered how something so simple
could become so complex.
The simpler and more automatic the golf swing, the greater the chance of having a
successful result. Physical training incorporating moves, weight transfer, and body
positions consistent with a proper swing will help achieve a swing with no conscious
thoughts other than where the ball is going.
YOGALATES FOR GOLFsm is the first golf fitness program combining Yoga and
Pilates aimed at improving the golfers ability to play without the negative influence of
swing thoughts.
The Train To Engrain philosophy of GoLo GolFitness has been incorporated into foot
positioning, weight transfer, spine angles, posture, as well as stretches, strengthening and
balance activities.
Yoga and Pilates are often associated with golf training but never in the technically
correct manner associated with YOGALATES FOR GOLFsm. Exercising along with the
instructor 2-3 times weekly will result in physical changes that will improve the golfers
ability to perform the most efficient and effective swing. Neuro-muscular education will
also occur and begin to improve technical aspects of the swing without conscious
thought.
YOGALATES FOR GOLFsm is fun, effective and quite a physical challenge. Golf
swings will improve, but also expect to see functional gains throughout the day as
endurance, balance, and flexibility improvements develop greater movement capabilities
and positive postural changes.
