 Yoga for golfer August 13, 2007
This could be a good book just needs more information, on how to do the yoga pose and more on warm up, cool down, and their is a lot more that could have been add to the book.
 No Show June 3, 2007
This book was a big disappointment to me as it provided very little information on how to actually do the recommended exercises. For a book of less than 200 pages, it has almost 1/3 dedicated to discussion of general yoga topics. It has a Preface, Acknowledgements, an Introduction, Theories of Yoga, Traditional Yoga vs. Yoga for Golfers - we haven't gotten to any actual instruction yet. A better choice for golfers looking for more flexibility and comfort would be Roger Fredericks DVD series.
Disappointing April 14, 2007
This book was not what I expected it to be. The photographs are small and in black and white.
Golfers, save your money! Take a good Yoga class and learn the stretches on your own. Then take a few golf lessons, just for fun!
 Excellent Instructional Book January 10, 2007
This book is intended for any golfer, regardless of handicap, who wants to improve their game (distance, accuracy, and consistency) and their fitness to play the game without serious injury. I consider it one of the best sports and fitness books I've read. It contains a lot of excellent information, useful exercises, and is written in a very easy-to-read style. This book has helped me significantly to improve the fluidity and mechanics of my swing, relax during play, and to improve my strength, flexibility, and mental approach. Although I can't know what it will do for your handicap, I feel confident that it not only will help you reduce it but also increase your overall fitness and enjoyment of this very challenging sport.
 This book HELPED me to RELAX my mind both on and off the course., New way for golfers March 17, 2006
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
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.
