Choose the class wisely.
Golfers should go to classes that emphasize slow movement, static positions and extension poses. Forget Bikram. Many vinyasa classes aren't recommended either. Bikram, which is essentially performing yoga in extreme heat, can negatively impact concentration, body function and also make it easier to hyperextend joints. Vinyasa, which is like the CrossFit of yoga, doesn't emphasize awareness or quality of movement -- two big components to playing better golf.
