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)

      My Swing (Ty_Webb)

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      Got told off yesterday for doing full swings and full speed swings so went to the range this lunchtime and did some slow speed stuff and freezers. A few videos from my session.    First few are DTL then some FO This one is of me looking at the club on the way back. I think I get my arms lifting all the way back, not that you’d know because YouTube keeps glitching on me.    Second one is two slow backswings. This glitches the first one but the glitch looks like a pretty good position so I’ll live. Second one works. Then another swing back and hit. When I’m not watching or really focusing on it it seems that my upper arm doesn’t lift at first, rather stays roughly where it is and I add the lift at the end so the club comes a bit more inside. I think that’s what I’m going to focus on. This one glitches a bit too but it’s really just pausing. This shows the club coming a bit more inside but not as laid off at the top Then a couple of face on ones And lastly one smoothie and one freezer at normal speed  Quite happy with how this went. I can see my arms are better when I take it slower. Also while I’m still pitching my arms out it doesn’t seem to be as extreme as yesterday. Light at the end of the tunnel 🙂

      Pablo, you can’t get much safer than cash and a public meetup spot. Don’t know what happened to you there.  Always check their profile to make sure they have either sold stuff, have other things for sale and have a profile that shows they don’t join FB the day before.  Be wary if the price is too low, but those are usually the people who joined 2 days ago and have nothing in their profile .  Craigslist is the place full of scumbags usually.
