Balance enables you to maintain your center of gravity during your golf swing. And improving balance is one of the pillars of yoga.
The reason for all those strange-looking movements and poses in yoga is that they intentionally throw you off balance and out of your comfort zone. It’s in learning to stay balanced that you strengthen your core and improve your stability.
Better balance, better golf
The tree pose is an excellent yoga pose for improving balance, leg strength and core stability. Hold it for 4 to 5 deep breaths on each leg (if you’re unsure how to perform this exercise, please ask an instructor).
A swing assessment enables us to see if your ability to move through the three planes of motion is impacting your golf. Then we can decide whether an accommodating change in technique and/or a recommended visit to a yoga instructor would help.
