Jump start the season with these dynamic yoga warm-up exercises.  Dynamic Conditioning Makes All The Difference.  Continuous, dynamic movements are the most effective in preparing the body for golf.  Dynamic stretches “alert” the neuromuscular skeletal system for the explosive golf swing more effectively than static stretching.  Dynamic movement raises core temperature, coordinates movement and breathing (great for rhythm and tempo), and supports mental focus.

DYNAMIC STRETCHING TIPS:

JUST BREATHE

Proper breathing prepares the body and mind for the explosive nature of the golf swing.  It also better connects the mind and body to facilitate greater focus, one pointed concentration, and a greater sense of “feel” in the short game.  In the dynamic warm-up, remember to focus on continuous breathing.

Ongoing adherence to the program is more important than duration.  For maximum benefit, practice 3-4x per week in the pre-season, and before each round of golf during the season.
