Yoga for Golf

Improve your game with Phil Aston

Yoga and Golf - Background

Perhaps no game is more wrought with mental hazards than Golf.  The sport introduces a constant struggle between the conscious mind – analysing, alert, logical – and the subconscious mind – the well of intuition and long term memory.

Golf is a highly physical game, demanding strength, flexibility and endurance of its participants. Avid golfers often suffer from back, shoulder hip, and knee pain.

Golfers need to work on exercises that open up the hip area, since stiffness in the hips can travel down the gluteal muscles and hamstrings and affect the knees, as well as the upper back and shoulders. Strong, flexible hips will go a long way toward ensuring a stress and injury free golf game.

We can teach you some simple exercises that will help build strength, stamina and flexibility, whilst giving you the tools to balance mind and body.

Yoga and Golf - Your instructor

Phil Aston is a Yoga teacher for the British Wheel of Yoga and founder of Yoga at Work (based in Cornwall) who is introducing this unique practice to people who would normally think it was not for them. 

This is yoga without the ‘tree hugging and incense’ element’ said Phil. I have devised this lessons after working with Golfers during my time in the

midlands.  I work through a series of relaxing stretches and with an emphasis on developing awareness and concentration.

They have proved to be popular and very effective.  Phil has also been company director for one of the worlds largest marketing companies and has used yoga everyday to help with concentration and stress control.
