affected and common injuries

contraindications of each pose, modifications of

“Katherine’s Yoga for Golfers Teacher Training was a life changing event. I met a diverse and fabulous group of women form all over the world – we clicked as a group from the first nights seminar at Katherine’s home. The training itself was wonderful; Katherine and her esteemed group of instructors covered a full range of topics to ensure that we received all of the information necessary to be successful upon graduation. I highly recommend the course and would head back to Scottsdale in an instant to do it all again!” Jen Dearing – Certified Yoga for Golfers Instructor
