Product Description
A powerful and profound approach to Peak Performance On and Off the course. It is much more than just exercises! This book addresses the larger system of yoga which includes philosophy, meditation, breathing, physical postures and higher states of consciousness. The Yoga of Golf provides a gateway to actually move past the limitations of the mind and open the doorway to the Zone.
One of the most daunting tasks for a golf instructor is to teach the student to stay in the present. Amateur golfers constantly berate themselves for a poor last short or mentally project what they believe they will score for the day. Dr. Mann supplies excellent techniques to help the golfer with both concentration and the ability to live in the present.
The Yoga of Golf is readable, well structured and informative for both the professional and the striving, amateur golfer. I urge all my students to read and practice the techniques clearly taught in The Yoga of Golf.
