| Hips Don't Lie: When Your Hips Don't Move, Something Else Has To | 08 oct. 2026 | 00:19:02 | |
Your hips play a huge role in how you rotate, create force, maintain balance, and move through the golf swing, but there's a lot more happening around the hip than simply being "tight" or "mobile." In this episode, we break down the anatomy of the hip, including the muscles, tendons, ligaments, labrum, and the deep six external rotators, and learn why the hips need both mobility and strength. We also explore common hip issues golfers may encounter, how limitations at the hip can influence movement elsewhere in the body, and how the subtle body plays a role in our movement experience. Because when it comes to your hips, there's usually more to the story than simply needing a better stretch. Show notes:

| Treat the Golfer, Not Just the Injury with Dr. Kevin Dishon | 01 oct. 2026 | 00:49:19 | |
No two golfers move, practice, recover, or experience pain in exactly the same way, so why would they all follow the exact same program? In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Kevin Dishon, a doctor of physical therapy, certified strength and conditioning specialist, owner of The Golf DPT, and independent physio on the PGA Tour. Kevin explains why effective golf rehab, prehab, and performance training must begin with the individual. We discuss what makes a golf-specific physical therapy assessment different, the practice of listening to our golfers and meeting them where they are, and how golfers can safely progress from injury back to practice and play. Kevin also shares the similarities and differences between supporting Tour players and recreational golfers. Whether you're currently managing pain, returning from an injury, or simply want your body to better tolerate the demands of golf, this conversation will help you think beyond one-size-fits-all solutions.

| Finding Your Swing Tempo: Why "Slow Down" Isn't the Whole Answer | 24 sept. 2026 | 00:17:43 | |
If you've ever hit a poor shot and immediately thought, "I got too quick," this episode is for you. We explore what swing tempo actually means and why it involves more than simply slowing down. Drawing from golf biomechanics and motor-learning research, we break down the differences between tempo, rhythm, and timing; look at the the commonly referenced 3:1 ratio; and examine how physical capacity, pressure, attention, and breathing may influence the way your swing is organized. You'll also learn why tempo alone cannot diagnose a swing fault and be guided through a simple exercise to explore which pace and rhythm feel most repeatable for you. Your best tempo isn't necessarily the slowest, or the one that looks like someone else's. It's the rhythm you can organize, repeat, and trust. Show notes:

| When the Swing Isn't the First Problem with Shaun Diachkoff | 17 sept. 2026 | 00:50:34 | |
When something isn't working in your golf swing, it's easy to assume you need another technical fix. But what if your body simply can't access, or control, the positions your swing requires? In this episode, we hear from Shaun Diachkoff, founder of Fairway Performance and a strength and conditioning coach. Drawing on his background in military aviation maintenance, Shaun brings a root-cause approach to golf performance: looking beyond the visible swing fault to understand what may be happening within the body. Together, we explore the relationship between mobility, stability, strength, and power; how golfers compensate for physical limitations; and why usable movement matters more than flexibility alone. We also discuss what everyday golfers can learn from elite players, where to begin if your swing feels stiff or inconsistent, and how even a short daily movement practice can support better performance on the course.

| Recovery Is Part of the Training: What Restorative Yoga Teaches Golfers | 10 sept. 2026 | 00:22:44 | |
What if recovery isn't simply what happens when training stops, but an important part of the training itself? In this episode of the Yoga for Golf® Podcast, we're exploring Restorative Yoga and what this quiet, supported practice can teach golfers about recovery, stress, and the ability to shift out of performance mode. We'll also unpack some of the science behind the autonomic nervous system, breathing, relaxation, and HRV, and why "rest and digest" is a little more complicated than flipping a switch. Most importantly, we'll bring it back to golf: how the physical and mental demands of playing, practicing, training, competing, and traveling add up, and why learning to intentionally reduce those demands can be a performance skill of its own. Because the work matters. And so does what happens after the work. Recovery is part of the training. Show notes:

| More Isn't Always Better: What Yin Yoga Teaches Golfers About Movement | 03 sept. 2026 | 00:26:01 | |
What if improving your golf game and your movement doesn't always require doing more? In this episode of the Yoga for Golf® Podcast, we're exploring Yin Yoga: a surprisingly modern style of yoga that challenges our relationship with effort, stillness, and progress. Because feeling "tight" doesn't automatically mean you need to stretch more. Sometimes you need mobility. Sometimes strength or stability. Sometimes movement. And sometimes, your body simply needs less. You'll learn why Yin Yoga encourages us to observe before reacting, why more intensity isn't automatically more effective, and how becoming more aware of what your body actually needs can make you a more intelligent mover and more resilient golfer. The big takeaway: Progress doesn't always require more effort. Sometimes the most valuable skill is learning when you've already done enough. Show notes:

| Arrive Ready to Play: A Guided Meditation for Golfers | 27 août 2026 | 00:16:34 | |
Before you step onto the first tee, take a few minutes to breathe, reset, and arrive in the present moment. In this guided meditation for golfers, we'll use the breath to release unnecessary tension, quiet some of the mental noise that can follow us onto the course, and create the conditions for greater concentration and focus—without forcing either one. You'll practice letting go of expectations, returning to the present after each shot, and using your breath as an anchor you can come back to throughout your round. Use this meditation before a casual round, tournament, practice session, or anytime you need to reconnect with a simple reminder: One breath. One shot. One swing. One moment at a time. Show notes:

| The Body Governs the Swing: Why Assessment Comes First with Lance Gill | 23 août 2026 | 00:54:07 | |
What if the swing problem you're trying to fix isn't really a swing problem at all? In this episode of the Yoga for Golf® Podcast, I'm joined by renowned golf performance educator Lance Gill to explore one of the most important principles in golf performance: the body governs the swing. Lance explains why assessment should come before instruction or training, how physical capabilities and limitations influence the way a golfer swings, and why simply chasing more mobility or flexibility isn't always the answer. We discuss the relationship between the body and the golf swing, what a quality movement assessment can reveal, common misconceptions about golf fitness, and how golfers can train with greater purpose instead of simply chasing symptoms. Whether you're a golfer, coach, fitness professional, or movement specialist, this conversation offers a deeper look at the why behind the swing — and why understanding the golfer in front of you should always come first.

| Golf Fitness for Performance and Longevity with Lindsay Becker | 15 août 2026 | 00:50:22 | |
What does your body actually need to play better golf — and keep playing for years to come? In this episode of the Yoga for Golf® Podcast, I'm joined by Lindsay Becker, a board-certified sports physical therapist, TPI-certified Medical and Junior Provider, Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, and internationally recognized golf fitness and rehabilitation expert. Lindsay shares how her approach to working with golfers has evolved throughout her career, what golfers often misunderstand about pain and injury, what an effective warm-up should accomplish, and how golfers can train today with an eye toward continuing to play for decades. Whether you're trying to play better, move better, return from an injury, or simply keep your body feeling good enough to enjoy the game you love, this conversation offers a fascinating look at the body behind the golf swing.

| Play with More Confidence: Understanding the Rules of Golf with BrookeLin Powers | 06 août 2026 | 00:38:24 | |
How well do you really know the Rules of Golf? Whether you're brand new to the game or have been playing for years, the rules can sometimes feel overwhelming. In this episode, I'm joined by LPGA Class A Professional, TPI Certified instructor, and author BrookeLin Powers to break down the Rules of Golf in a way that's practical, approachable, and easy to understand. We talk about why so many golfers find the rules intimidating, the most common misconceptions recreational golfers make, the rules every golfer should know before heading to the first tee, and how understanding the rules can actually help you play with more confidence and enjoy the game even more. Whether you've ever wondered about lost balls, relief options, penalty areas, or simply want to feel more confident on the course, this conversation will help take the mystery out of the Rules of Golf.

| Why the Transition Matters: What Vinyasa Yoga Teaches Golfers About Better Movement | 30 juil. 2026 | 00:23:39 | |
What if better movement isn't about finding the perfect position—but about learning how to move between positions more efficiently? In this episode of the Yoga for Golf® Podcast, we're exploring Vinyasa Yoga: one of the most popular styles of yoga in the world and one of the most misunderstood. You'll learn how Vinyasa evolved from Ashtanga Yoga, why no two Vinyasa classes are exactly alike, and what the word vinyasa really means. We'll explore how breath and movement work together, why intentional sequencing matters, and how a well-designed practice can improve coordination, rhythm, and body awareness. Then we'll connect those principles directly to the golf swing. Because great golf isn't played by holding positions—it's created through smooth, connected movement between them. Whether you're new to yoga or already have a regular practice, this episode will help you see movement through a completely different lens. Show notes:

| Consistency Creates Freedom: What Ashtanga Yoga Teaches Golfers About Practice | 23 juil. 2026 | 00:26:51 | |
What if doing the same thing every day wasn't limiting—but liberating? In this episode, we continue our series exploring the different styles of yoga with a deep dive into Ashtanga Yoga, a practice built on consistency, discipline, and repetition. You'll learn about the life and teachings of K. Pattabhi Jois, the origins of the Ashtanga tradition, the difference between Ashtanga Yoga and Patanjali's Eight Limbs of Yoga, and what it's actually like to step into an Ashtanga practice. Most importantly, we'll explore one of the biggest lessons Ashtanga has to offer: that mastery isn't built by constantly searching for something new. Instead, it often comes from returning to the fundamentals with curiosity, patience, and attention. Whether you're a golfer looking to improve your practice habits or simply curious about one of the world's most influential styles of yoga, this episode will challenge the way you think about repetition—and why consistency creates freedom.

| The Alignment Myth: What Iyengar Yoga Teaches Golfers About Better Movement | 16 juil. 2026 | 00:21:15 | |
What if alignment isn't about making every body move the same? In this episode, we continue our series exploring the different styles of yoga with a deep dive into Iyengar Yoga—a practice known for its emphasis on precision, alignment, and intentional movement. You'll learn about the life and legacy of B.K.S. Iyengar, what makes this style unique, why props are some of the most misunderstood tools in yoga, and what an Iyengar class is actually like. Most importantly, we'll challenge one of the biggest misconceptions in both yoga and golf: that there's one "perfect" way to move. Whether you're on a yoga mat or standing over a golf ball, the goal isn't perfection—it's learning to move intelligently within the body you have. If you're looking to improve body awareness, movement quality, and your understanding of how yoga can support your golf game, this episode is for you. Show notes:

| The Birth of Modern Yoga: How Hatha Yoga Changed the Way We Move | 09 juil. 2026 | 00:21:26 | |
What exactly is yoga—and why are there so many different styles? In this episode, we continue our journey through the history of yoga by exploring the teacher who helped shape modern yoga as we know it: Tirumalai Krishnamacharya, often called the "Father of Modern Yoga." We'll also dive into Hatha Yoga, one of the foundational styles behind many modern yoga practices. You'll learn where Hatha came from, how it evolved, what to expect in a Hatha class, and why slowing down can actually help you develop greater body awareness, balance, and control. For golfers, this awareness is everything. Understanding how your body moves—and learning to move with more intention—can help you build a stronger foundation for performance on and off the course. Whether you're new to yoga, someone who has said "I tried yoga once and it wasn't for me," or a golfer looking to move better, this episode will help you understand why yoga is so much more than stretching. In upcoming episodes, we'll continue exploring different styles of yoga, including Iyengar, Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Yin, and more. Show notes:

| You Don't Hate Yoga—You Probably Just Took the Wrong Class | 02 juil. 2026 | 00:21:38 | |
Think yoga isn't for you? Before you write it off, ask yourself one question: What kind of yoga did you actually try? In this episode, we're exploring what yoga really is—and what it isn't. We'll unpack some of the biggest misconceptions surrounding yoga, including whether it's just stretching, whether you have to be flexible, and whether practicing yoga means participating in a religion. You'll also learn how yoga has evolved over thousands of years, how it made its way from India to the West, and why the yoga practiced in most studios today looks very different from its ancient roots. Whether you're a golfer who's curious about yoga or someone who's tried one class and decided it wasn't for you, this episode will give you a new perspective and lay the foundation for the rest of the series.

| Recovery Is Training: The Missing Link in Your Golf Performance | 25 juin 2026 | 00:11:46 | |
Most golfers focus on practice, swing mechanics, strength, and mobility… but overlook one of the most important parts of performance: recovery. In this episode, we reframe recovery not as rest, but as an active and essential part of your golf performance system. Because improvement doesn't actually happen during practice or play — it happens afterward, when your body has time to adapt. You'll learn how recovery impacts mobility, rotation, coordination, focus, and consistency on the course, and why feeling stiff, tight, or inconsistent is often less about technique and more about under-recovery. We also break down what real recovery actually looks like — including sleep, walking, nervous system regulation, restorative yoga, foam rolling, nature exposure, warm water immersion, and social connection — all supported by research in exercise physiology, neuroscience, and sports science. Most importantly, you'll walk away with a clearer understanding that recovery isn't optional or passive. It's a performance tool. If you've ever felt like your swing doesn't quite "show up," this episode will help you understand why — and what to do about it. Show notes:

| 5 Minutes to a Better Swing: A Guided Pre-Round Warm-Up | 18 juin 2026 | 00:13:30 | |
Do you ever find yourself with only five minutes to prepare for a round of golf? In this guided episode, I'll walk you through a simple yet effective movement routine designed to help you move better, swing more freely, and step onto the first tee feeling ready to play. We'll move through all three planes of motion, improve weight shift and balance, loosen up the wrists, and use intentional breathing to cultivate focus and release unnecessary tension. Whether you're heading to the course, getting ready for a practice session, or simply looking for a quick movement break during the day, this routine will help you prepare your body—and your mind—for better golf. If you have the space, stand up and follow along. If you're driving or listening on the go, save this episode and come back to it when you can move with it. Show notes: | |||
| Press On: Jordan Thomas on Resilience, Adaptive Golf, and Finding Purpose Through Adversity | 13 juin 2026 | 00:36:36 | |
What if you wanted to play golf, run, play soccer, or simply be an active kid — but the prosthetic you needed to participate wasn't considered "medically necessary" by your insurance company? That's a reality many children living with limb loss face, and it's one of the reasons Jordan Thomas founded the Jordan Thomas Foundation. In this episode of the Yoga for Golf® Podcast, Jordan shares how a life-changing experience at age 16 inspired him to help children gain access to the prosthetic care they need to fully participate in sports, recreation, and everyday life. We discuss the mission behind the Jordan Thomas Foundation, the challenges many families face in accessing prosthetic care, and why every child deserves the opportunity to play, compete, and pursue their passions. We also explore the role golf has played throughout Jordan's journey — from recovery and personal growth to competing at a high level in adaptive golf. Along the way, Jordan shares his perspective on resilience, the mindset behind Lunch Pail Golf, and the balance between working hard, pushing forward, and giving yourself grace when things don't go according to plan. Whether you're a golfer, coach, parent, or navigating a challenging season of your own, this conversation offers a powerful reminder that resilience isn't just about moving through adversity — it's also about learning to meet yourself with patience, perspective, and self-compassion along the way.

This short meditation is designed to help you slow down, regulate your nervous system, release tension, and step into a more calm, focused, and present state before your round or practice session. Together, we'll move through: This isn't about "clearing your mind" or meditating perfectly.

| 5 Ways Yoga Trains the Golf Mental Game | 29 janv. 2026 | 00:18:59 | |

| Mobility vs Stability: Why Golfers Need Both for a Consistent Swing | 22 janv. 2026 | 00:17:00 | |

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.
