This book HELPED me to RELAX my mind both on and off the course., New way for golfers
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.

Impressed and improved
With her brilliant correlation between yoga and golf, Katherine Roberts displays a profound understanding of both disciplines. This book is intelligently written and presented in a user-friendly fashion. I particularly enjoyed the attention to attitude and intention which are so important in any athletic endeavor, in addition to the specific techniques to improve flexibility and strength. I tremendously enjoyed reading it and immediately felt inspired.

I feel healthier and wiser after reading this book. I highly recommend it to anyone who feels ready to move their physical health and golf game to the next level. Do something nice for yourself...start this program!

Mind Body approach works for me...
Katherine Roberts' book has been a very good journey over all, for my body and my state of mind. Passionate about golf, as I am, I can appreciate her obvious love for the game, and how she has translated so much valuable experiential knowledge of how the body stretches and strengthens into a form that golfers can actually use, step by step. I highly recommend it. It's easy to follow, and to the point. The breathing and mindfulness exercises are invaluable to my short game.
