5.0 out of 5 stars This book HELPED me to RELAX my mind both on and off the course., New way for golfers, March 16, 2006
This review is from: Yoga for Golfers : A Unique Mind-Body Approach to Golf Fitness (Paperback)
I used the yoga positions in the book to help me increase my flexibility and relax my mind. Does yoga increase flexibility? That's a definite. The writing in the book is well-done and is simple to follow.....

When I go to play golf I'm definitely more relaxed and more focused because of what I learned and practiced from this book.

{Yoga for Golfers: A Unique Mind-Body Approach to Golf Fitness} is a must-buy for all golfers.

Remember to practice the yoga positions because not only will you become more flexible, this also can contribute to having a peaceful mind both on and off the golf course.

Another great book which made me improve at golf is
{The Ultimate Golf Instruction Guide: Key Techniques for Becoming a Zero Handicap Golfer or Better} by Leonardi
This book was a also a total breakthrough for me...I've reduced my handicap because of it.

5.0 out of 5 stars good reference & inspiration for my teaching needs., October 16, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Yoga for Golfers : A Unique Mind-Body Approach to Golf Fitness (Paperback)
I began teaching a yoga for golfers class at a golf-spa resort this summer. Even though I am an experienced teacher I felt I needed confirmation that the poses/sequences I offered were on par (pardon the pun). I looked at several 'yoga for golfers' books and decided this one would be good. This book is written by a person who grew up with golf and taught yoga at a spa resort herself for many, many years. What was most useful to me were the sequences in back of the book. I would study and practice her sequences, modify them and use them in my class. It was great! The book talks quite a bit about golf and has some great quotes in it. For me this book was well worth the money. It has given me the boost I needed to feel confident teaching this specific group,golfers, yoga. And I've learned a bit about the game/sport

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Yoga for Golfers : A Unique Mind-Body Approach to Golf Fitness (Paperback)
With her brilliant correlation between yoga and golf, Katherine Roberts displays a profound understanding of both disciplines. This book is intelligently written and presented in a user-friendly fashion. I particularly enjoyed the attention to attitude and intention which are so important in any athletic endeavor, in addition to the specific techniques to improve flexibility and strength. I tremendously enjoyed reading it and immediately felt inspired.

I feel healthier and wiser after reading this book. I highly recommend it to anyone who feels ready to move their physical health and golf game to the next level. Do something nice for yourself...start this program!
