Golf is meant to be a lifelong sport—but pain, stiffness, and fear of injury often become the real limiting factors as golfers age. In this episode, I'm sharing movement strategies from my PGA Show talk Swing Strong at Any Age to help golfers support their bodies without extreme workouts, forced stretching, or high-impact training. You'll learn: Common movement patterns older golfers face—and why they're modifiable What the aging golf swing actually needs (and what it doesn't) The four pillars of a young-feeling golf swing: usable mobility, strength through range, balance and load transfer, and recovery Simple, practical movement strategies golfers can use to feel stronger, more confident, and more supported on the course Whether you're a golfer yourself or work with golfers, this episode will help you train the body so the game can last a lifetime.

Most golfers think the mental game is something you fix by thinking harder—more focus, more confidence, more control. But the mental game isn't just mental. In this episode of the Yoga for Golf® Podcast, we explore five ways yoga improves your mental game on the golf course, helping you play with more focus, composure, and consistency—without adding more swing thoughts. You'll learn how yoga helps golfers: Tune out external distractions Build awareness without overthinking Use the breath to regulate tension and tempo Stay present after bad shots Train true focus under pressure Yoga doesn't just help you move better—it trains the attention, breath, and nervous system skills that show up when it matters most. If the swing is there but the consistency isn't, this episode may reveal the missing piece. Show notes: YoGolf Performance® - FREE 7-Day Trial Contact me Turns out, it's a Tony Robbins quote

Previously, we talked about why flexibility alone isn't enough for golfers. In this episode, we take the next step and break down one of the most misunderstood concepts in golf fitness: mobility vs stability. You'll learn what mobility and stability actually mean, how they show up in your golf swing, and why having more range of motion doesn't automatically lead to better performance—or fewer injuries. We'll also connect the dots to strength and balance, and explain why these elements are essential for controlling movement, generating power, and swinging more consistently. Inside this episode, we cover: The difference between mobility and stability (and why golfers need both) Common problem areas like the hips, shoulders, and core How strength supports stability in the golf swing Why balance plays a huge role in consistency A simple at-home drill that combines mobility, stability, strength, and balance If you want a swing that feels stronger, more controlled, and more reliable—this episode will help you understand what your body actually needs to support it.

Stretching is often the go-to for golfers looking to warm up, loosen tight muscles, or prevent injuries—but stretching alone isn't enough to support a strong, consistent golf swing. In this episode of the Yoga for Golf® Podcast, we break down why passive stretching falls short and what your body actually needs to move better on the course. We talk about the difference between stretching and mobility, how strength and control through range of motion matter, and why golfers need more than just flexibility to improve performance and longevity. If your pre-round routine is mostly stretching—or if you feel "loose" but still unstable, restricted, or inconsistent—this episode will help you rethink how you prepare your body for golf and what to add to your routine for better results.

Welcome to the Yoga for Golf® Podcast! In this first episode, we discuss why yoga and Pilates are so good for golfers—and why you should forget anything you've previously thought about them.

Whether you're brand new to yoga and Pilates or still on the fence, this episode will help you understand how they fit into your golf training—and why it's about improving how you move, not becoming the most flexible person in the room.
