yoga for golfers

Namaste!

​In anticipation of Golf Season, I've prepared a couple of yoga sequences to help golfers gain awareness of their hips, while creating stability in the pelvis to increase upper body movement, twists and healthy shoulder habits. Do some or all of these and let me know how your score improves with yoga!
