I am sure if you golf and you are reading this post you are wondering, "How can Pilates and/or Yoga possibly improve my golf game?" Well, you will be pleasantly surprised to know that Pilates and Yoga can greatly improve your golf swing.
The difference between an amateur and a professional golfer is consistency. Understandably so because professional golfers have increased play time.
Many aspects of mind/body/fitness are evident in golf:
1. Concentration/focus
2. Breathing
3. Flexibility
4. Strength(entire body)
5. Balance
Pilates and Yoga encompass all of these practices. Yoga and pilates focuses on stretching and strengthening through full body movements. On the golf course it takes ample focus, concentration, and proper breathing techniques to relax your mind and body during your swing/short game. If you are nervous your muscles will tighten causing a faulty swing pattern. Flexibility of the entire body, especially in the rotational (transverse) plane, is essential to achieve an excellent golf swing. Yoga and pilates work to strengthen and lengthen muscles in various static and dynamic rotational positions. Like other sports such as baseball/softball, golfing is predominantly one-sided. This causes your body to become asymmetric leading to increased tightness on the stronger side. Balance is essential to maintain throughout the swing as well as the finishing position of the golf swing. Yoga and pilates focus on both static and dynamic balance in all planes of movement.
Happy Golfing!

Great effort expensive! I think everyone in this world got talent and possess different sets of skills and abilities. Likewise in any game such as golf it requires good golf tips from any professional golf player which help to alter the vision of other players. Thanks and keep sharing the nice information!!!
Although a swing change involves addressing some mechanical feature of your technique, do not forget the importance of rhythm and balance. For the change to work, your swing has to happen in the correct sequence. Every player needs guidance in order Improve the Golf even the natural one.
I am bold enough among many others to state that there is now a potent cure to this sickness but many are unaware of it. I discovered that I was infected with the virus 3 months ago, after a medical check-up. My doctor told me and I was shocked, confused and felt like my world has crumbled. I was dying slowly due to the announcement of my medical practitioner but he assured me that I could leave a normal life if I took my medications (as there was no medically known cure to Herpes). I went from churches to churches but soon found that my case needed urgent attention as I was growing lean due to fear of dying anytime soon. In a bid to look for a lasting solution to my predicament, I sought for solutions from the herbal world. I went online and searched for every powerful trado-medical practitioner that I could severe, cos I heard that the African Herbs had a cure to the Herpes syndrome. It was after a little time searching the web that I came across one Dr Itua(A powerful African Herbal Doctor), who offered to help me at a monetary fee. I had to comply as this was my final bus-stop to receiving a perfect healing. My last resolve was to take my life by myself, should this plan fail. At last it worked out well.
