 (PHOTO: Eddie Meeks) When you set up with a curved spine and shoulders slumped forward, you practically guarantee a short backswing with the arms working independently. This posture can be the result of a poor setup or from muscular imbalances and joint restrictions that have developed over the years. If the solution isn’t as simple as fixing your setup, then you have to start stretching out the upper body to get the shoulders on top of the hips in your normal posture. Using the Tadasana (yoga mountain pose) stretch helps the upper and lower body work as a team, generating more rotational strength through the core, resulting in longer, straighter shots. Tadasana (Yoga Mountain Pose) This pose reverses and relieves gravitational stress on the body. We tend to compact and hunch our bodies forward through daily activities, such as sitting in front of a computer, writing at a desk or carrying our children. Your entire nervous system comes alive from this pose. As the spine extends, the nerves are released from this compressed state. This pose starts at your feet as you become aware of how you stand. It creates internal awareness of how your shoulders are aligned over your hips, which carries over into your golf stance. Breathing through your nose, being grounded through your feet and aligned in your stance, combined with your mental focus, adds power and stability to your golf stance. Additional movements can be added to achieve even more balance. Glenn Deck and Marie Friedlander teach yoga golf at Pelican Hill and Oak Creek golf clubs in Orange County.
