Intro Par session: This Yoga for Golfers® session is an excellent whole body stretch, and focuses on all the major muscle groups used in the golf swing.

It's all in the hips: This Yoga for Golfers® session focuses on the lower body, in particular the hips, glutes, and hamstrings. If you, like 60% of other golfers, suffer from lower back pain it could be due to tight hamstrings! This class will open the hips allowing for greater hip turn and more efficient ball striking as you are better able to turn and transfer your weight, while maintaining your balance and power.

Core and Balance: This Yoga for Golfers® session focuses on the muscles in the core and balance helping you achieve a more consistent, effective, and repeatable golf swing.

Birdie Session: This Yoga for Golfers® session is a little more challenging than the Par Session, but still very accessible for all levels of fitness. Here build on the Core and Balance session and use yoga postures to create greater separation between the upper and lower body, thereby enabling more thoracic rotation, which means faster club head speed and more distance off the tee!

Length and Strength: This Yoga for Golfers® session uses poses that will strengthen the muscles used in the golf swing and then we hold a more traditional Yin style pose to deepen the stretch, leaving you feeling relaxed and ready to hit the links!

Eagle Session: This Yoga for Golfers® session is a little more challenging, and builds on the gains in strength, mobility, and flexibility from the Par and Birdie Sessions. It focuses on all the major muscle groups used in the golf swing, but the challenge lies in the balance and endurance poses.
