    About this ebook

    Golf Fitness with Yoga
    "No thank you!" That would have been the smiling denial of Dorothee Haering two years ago. "Me and yoga; sitting on the floor twisting my limbs into knots?" Unimaginable! But things tend to take their own way. Her physiotherapist sent her to yoga and she discovered all the benefits for her game.

    A yoga book written by a golfer is, of course, not a run-of-the-mill yoga book with mainly traditional asanas, the physical yoga poses. On the contrary, this special exercise program is tailored specifically to golfers' needs. With a balanced mix of traditional techniques and modern training principles as well as the easy-to-follow instructions described step-by-step, this book is eminently suitable for non-yogis. The subjects "Golfer's Elbow: No thanks" might as interest many afflicted golfers as the training tips to more mobility of the hip.

    Freshly edited and with numerous photographs specially taken for these exercises, this book reflects Dorothee Haering's great passion for golf. A book by a golfer for those golfers who want to work on their physical and mental attitudes in an easy-going fashion.

    * Set-up & Balance * Arms & Hands * Footwork & Strain * Rotation & Back * Playing in the Flow and mental Strength * Background Knowledge Golf & Health * Warm Up for the Driving Range, Golfers I & II

    Roll out your mat! Your age is of no consequence. If you can play golf then you can practice yoga, irrespective of your individual constitution and physical condition. All you need is motivation and perseverance in order to discover yoga as a new source of energy for your golf game. Move your game!

      Yoga meets Golf

      No thank you! That would have been my smiling denial two years ago. Me and yoga; sitting on the floor twisting my limbs into knots? Unimaginable! But things tend to take their own way. First of all I had a broken hand, then computer elbow and constant pain when playing golf. So off to the physiotherapist, who – and how could it be otherwise? – played golf and, as I discovered later, also practiced yoga. After several physio sessions he showed me to the door with a clear injunction: no more treatments unless I started doing yoga. Oh all right, I thought. I'll go for a bit and then just give it a miss. But things turned out differently. Two months of practicing yoga and the pain in my arm was just as much history as was my cliché-like idea of yoga. I had expected to be lying around esoterically listening to burbling new-age music in the background, but the first time I went I asked myself if I had landed in the wrong course by mistake. The whole thing was much more strenuous than I had imagined and only the relaxation session at the end saved me from total physical collapse! After only a short time I was a convert. Yoga meets golf.

      Yoga has benefits for all the qualities that are essential for a successful round of golf: flexibility, balance, strength, coordination and the ability to alternate between states of tension and relaxation. After practicing yoga for only a short while, you will be able to master certain situations on the golf course much better. Instructions from your coach such as more torsion and watch your balance will no longer be a problem. Yoga makes things easier because you learn to fine-tune your movement sequences. Also, when you encounter the Sunday traffic jam of parked trolleys out on the fairway, whose owners are searching in the undergrowth for their balls, it's wonderful when you are able to use the waiting interval for a quick yoga workout without getting uptight and with the bonus of having relaxed shoulders afterwards. And if you get stressed you can call upon your faithful ally, your breathing – your tailor-made anti-stress program.

      In addition to the fitness and anti-stress benefits for your game, yoga, with its element of meditation, offers you perfect energy management for synchronizing body and mind. Might sound esoteric, but this synchronization is demanded between seventy or one hundred times during a round of golf – and makes all the difference between a good or a bad score. Therefore it comes as no surprise that many of the best golfers in the world practice yoga.

      A yoga book written by a golfer is, of course, not a standard yoga guide with mainly traditional asanas; the physical poses handed down through generations of yogis. Yoga meets golf is rather a mixture of traditional techniques and modern training principles specially tailored to golfers' needs and therefore also especially suitable for non-yogis.

      The gentle stretching exercises are an easy introduction to yoga; muscles and joints become more supple and flexibility is improved. These exercises are in line with those of pro golfers who start their daily fitness program with a stretching session. Don't worry, you will not have to renounce the power of the traditional asanas – comprised of twisting, bending forwards, bending backwards and standing exercises and inverted poses. The only difference is that you can optimize each asana with simple aids such as blocks or belts. Methods like this have a great advantage. Thanks to the aids, correct body alignment and posture are easier to attain and thus the maximum benefit from the exercise can be achieved. Fun is guaranteed!

      Roll out your mat! Your age is of no consequence. If you can play golf then you can practice yoga, irrespective of your individual constitution and physical condition. All you need is motivation and perseverance in order to discover yoga as a new source of energy for your golf game. Move your game!

      Cordially yours, Dorothee Haering
