It's a question often asked of fitness trainers: Is yoga any good for golf? The short answer: Yes. The longer answer: Yes, but if you want to really get the most out of yoga exercises as a golfer, it's much better to modify the traditional poses to better address the multiplanar aspect of the swing.
Golf Digest Certified Fitness Trainer Jennifer Fleischer has four yoga-based golf exercises that will prevent early extension and improve rotation. Follow this circuit, and you'll find newfound ability in your ankles, hamstrings, hips and mid-back to do what they're supposed to do in a proper golf swing. |
