I like watching girls do it. Does that count?

She said to hold out for a count of five. I only lasted to three - guess I need to work on my stamina and mind control as well. :8):-P

I started Yoga 4 weeks ago. Started mainly to increase my flexibility and my core strength. However, I now realise that if you really commit to executing the moves properly with the correct breathing it's actually a full body toning and flexibility workout. The relaxation breathing exercises to start and finish are a serious bonus too. Discussed with the instructor about sorting out a golf specific routine to practice at home in between lessons.

There are actually you tub web sites that offer free yoga video and instruction.

Plus there is a site for yoga beginners that explains yoga from A to Z and shows the various yoga poses.

So if one wants to learn and exercise with yoga there is really no reason why they cannot.

And there are even specific yoga exercises for those with high pressure and might get a little woozy from some of the yoga poses where the head is below the heart.

So just skip those and do the one's that you can.

Just to interject a few comments made by expert, Mr. Iyengar, RIP.  Especially if age greater than 30, take it slow with inversions.  Do not attempt headstand unless you can do the 'plow' pose for 5 minutes.  Experienced teachers want you to learn your limits of today and find challenge and satisfaction in extending those limits. Don't get hurt.  If  you have any cardio, high blood pressure or capillary problems, inversions can cause you trouble.

Inversions generally considered as body up-side down. Examples: the plow, shoulder stand, head stand, hand stand, the wheel and such where the head is below the heart and the blood may rush to the head.

I've been looking at getting into it over the last couple of weeks. I've seen some yoga routines for golf. But, I'm looking for like an intro to yoga or help on knowing where to start. What is the best to subscribe to on youtube or what are some good videos to get a hold of. I know with workouts I've done in the past specific workouts were great, such as workout specific for the sport. Cardio for Golf, Yoga for Golf, Weight Training for Golf. Would this be the case with yoga to help with swing flexibility or is any kind of yoga good for this?

You do not have to subscribe as so many free one's are available.

Just enter "yoga you tube" into Google and see which one's you might enjoy.

And lots of pretty instructors make it even more enjoyable. :o)

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By iacas · Posted

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
