Is Par72 Yoga and Katherine Roberts’ Yoga for Golfers® (YFG) right for you or your membership? Why not try an Introductory Clinic? Clinics are ideally suited for smaller groups, both on and off the course. They begin with an initial assessment of the range of motion, followed by a series of yoga poses (or stretches) that can be done on the driving range, in the clubhouse or meeting room. Clinics introduce golfers to YFG methodology and the Dynamic Warm up. Having a professional development day or looking to provide something different for your business clients? A Par72 Yoga Clinic just might be the winning ticket!

 

Three key components to the golf swing are strength, endurance, and mobility. The YFG methodology incorporates flexibility, strength, balance, core conditioning, and breathing awareness. We use the force of gravity and your own body weight to build strength. Core conditioning improves posture at address, reduces fatigue in the golf swing and putting stance, and is a direct correlation to trunk rotation. Endurance is also very important for golfers. It gives golfers the ability to perform at a high level for a sustained period of time - such as in a round, tournament, season, career, or lifetime. 

The workshops are designed to give you a basic understanding of the yoga postures most beneficial for golfers. This, along with tailored instruction to suit your needs and hands-on adjustments to ensure you maximizes the benefits of each of the poses. We use both dynamic (coordinating movement with the breath) and static (poses held for longer periods of time with long slow breaths).  A regular yoga practice will increase functional flexibility and therefore naturally improve mobility.
