Yoga Complete for Athletes: Golf / Twists (60 minutes)

[Guest guest]

My back was tense from all the kickboxing I did this weekend, and after skimming several Body Wisdom practices for the back, I decided on Yoga Complete for Athletes: Golf / Twists. I figure golfers use their backs a lot in swinging the club so that's why I went for that sport. My dad would be thrilled if I took up golfing, however he's so serious and technical about it that it takes all the fun out of it for me. I like golfing with my coworkers; we each tee off separately, but then we all hit simultaneously after that and we don't even keep score. It's a blast! Here are the poses in this practice:You start in a shavasana - gee could golfers be tense to start with this or what?The standing poses are:ChairWarrior 1PyramidEagleafter that you're on the floor for the remainder of the practice:Cross

This practice took an hour. Donna, you might want to do this for your back! Hope everyone is having a relaxing Sunday!
