YOGA + GOLF🏌🏼♂️🧘♂️ WHAT’S THE DEAL❓⠀
⠀
@human_performance_for_sports makes some great points as to why adding a flexibility routine to your golf game is beneficial!⠀
⠀
👉🏼To develop flexibility but ALSO strength as people are taught how to use gravity against the ground reaction forces to generate more power and distance ⠀
⠀
👉🏼The mental and concentration aspect of yoga is similar to that of golf. Just as you need one point of focus during golf, in yoga it would be holding a pose ⠀
⠀
👉🏼When physically and mentally challenged, in yoga and golf it comes down to breathing which helps to control the nervous system. Learning breathing techniques can help manage your energy during your good and bad shots ⠀

LIVING AN ACTIVE VS PASSIVE LIFE⠀
⠀
▶️Active: you are in SEARCH for opportunities, constantly. You show up, daily. Even if something doesn’t work out, you dust yourself off and approach the task AGAIN and AGAIN and AGAIN. ⠀
⠀
▶️Passive: you sit back, do nothing, and allow things to happen TO you. ⠀
⠀
I think we all know which life we want to live if we are in constant search for self improvement and growth‼️⠀
⠀
Keep searching for those opportunities ya’ll. Have a fantastic week 👊🏼⠀

The mental checklist ✔️ of what you should bring to your golf game by @golfstateofmind⠀
⠀
1️⃣ Fuel your body with the proper foods🍌🥪🍎 and plenty of water 💦⠀
⠀
2️⃣ Try your best at the shot you are about to play. You cannot change how you previously shot, or your future shots but only the present one. 👊🏼⠀
⠀
3️⃣ Have a pre-shot routine for every shot. What does yours consist of? Visualization? 👀 Breathing techniques?💨⠀
⠀
4️⃣ Have a strong course-strategy. It’s part of the game to miss the target, so by factoring in any decisions on how you approach your shots is a good idea. 💥⠀
⠀
5️⃣ Control your reactions. A negative reaction towards a shot can effect your performance on future shots so aim for positive intentions. 🗣⠀
⠀
🔑And don’t forget to relax between shots! Enjoy the beauty of the course and the company you’re with❗️⠀
