Hit longer drives, stay focused on the course, and lower your score with this yoga warm-up
In golf, the power of your swing starts from the ground up. This means that all the curls inthe world won’t help you hit longer drives or swing fewer strokes. So if you want to bestronger on the links, drop the weights and get on the yoga mat. “Swing power is gener-ated from the lower body to the hips, the trunk, the shoulders, the arms, and out to theclub,” says Katherine Roberts, founder of Yoga for Golfers and fitness expert for the Golfchannel. “A lot of yoga postures are very good at getting deep into the connective tissueand musculature of the hips. The hips initiate the downswing, so having mobility in the hipsand strong glutes is really critical for generating power.”
The following yoga sequence is designed by Roberts to maximize your key power sourcesby opening the hips and strengthening the glutes. It will also build strength and stability inthe lumbar spine to prevent injury. As you practice these poses, don’t forget to breathe.Paying attention to your breath will pay dividends on the course: “The number one reasonfor swing faults is tension in the body, and that’s a byproduct of lack of blood flow and lackof breath,” says Roberts. “The fastest way for you to relax the body and calm the mind isto through the breath because it’s the easiest, most efficient way to the calm heart.” Thenext time you're about to hit the links, practice the following sequence:
1. AlligatorLay down onback, breathingdeeply in andout throughthe nose.Graspingboth your hands around rightknee, pull knee to chest. Keeping right leg bent, ro-tate it out to the right, with your right hand holding knee and left hip onthe floor. Move into alligator pose by putting right foot on top of left knee, spread yourarms out perpendicular to your body and twist your body toward the left, keeping rightshoulder on the floor. Exhale and return to center, then repeat on left side.
2. Knees to ChestInhale and bring your legs back up to center bringing knees in to chest. Holding your legs,roll back around in a circular motion clockwise a few times, working the muscles of the lowback, preparing the body for the swing. Repeat counter-clockwise.
3. Cat - CowCome onto all fours with hands directly below shouldersand fingers spread. Inhale, lowering spine toward floor androlling the shoulders back for cow pose.
