Pilates for Golfers: A Workshop with Donna Onacki

Friday, May 9th, 6:15-7:15pm

Learn how a regular Pilates regimen can support your body, limit risk of injury and enhance your golf game! Golfers are susceptible to a variety of muscle imbalances that can affect the hips, legs, shoulders, arms and back. By strengthening the core muscles and retraining the body to recruit its energy, power, and stability from its core, you can get more out of your game while lowering your risk of strains and muscle pulls. A stronger core, better alignment, and improved balance will help your performance and accuracy. So join the ranks of Tiger Woods and Annika Sorenstam who incorporate Pilates into their training and don't miss this great workshop with fellow golfer and Pilates expert Donna Onacki.

$22 early bird registration by 5/3; $26 after 5/3 Yoga Cards accepted with advance RSVP (2 punches); Pre-reg. required.

Yoga practice with a partner, be they friend, partner or family member, reveals both our strengths and weaknesses because our partner is a reflection of ourselves. Join us for a fun, liberating workshop to explore and grow our practice, and to grow in relationship.
Develop greater trust, sensitivity and understanding as we sustain our partners with our presence, breath, and support during this fun and challenging workshop.
This workshop will be held at an off-site location in Hopkinton (directions provided) which will allow us to enjoy the June weather, fresh air and sounds of nature in a beautiful covered (and carpeted) barn.
Suitable for those new to yoga and advanced level students alike. Partner required. (Teens/students over 16 welcome).
