Another summer is here, and I begin my teaching at Pompositticut Equestrian Camp in Hudson, MA. It is amazing how yoga can benefit the rider in so many ways. Yoga strengthens the muscles used in riding such as the shoulders, back, abdominals and legs. It lengthens the tight, tired muscles riders overuse. It creates superb posture, and enhances concentration and relaxation, all a must for the young and old rider alike. Standing postures enhance balance and coordination, thus reducing injury risk. And yoga can do the same for most athletes looking to supplement their normal training regimen. Look for more information coming soon on yoga classes I will be teaching in the Hudson, MA area. I will be beginning a new class, open to all, sometime in mid- summer. I will keep you posted!

The Fit for Golf Workshop was held at Holliston High School, Holliston, MA. on April 28th for Holliston Adult Education with great success. 8 participants came with clubs in hand to work on flexibility, core strength and balance, three keys to a healthy golf game. The workshop was 2 1/2 hours long, and participants were given handouts of the exercises performed in the workshop so that they could begin their own “Golf Conditioning” workout. The materials and exercises used for the Fit for Golf Workshop will be available online soon! Until then, feel free to contact me by phone or email for further information about golf conditioning.
