Golf Clubs � Training � Why Not Try Yoga?

If you want more control over your game, why not abandon your cricket equipment for an alternative training method?

Cricket and yoga go hand in hand. Think about it, yoga is equipped to provide you with balance, flexibility and core strength � all key elements if you are training to become a good cricket playing professional.

Training exercises using yoga can improve swing rotation and strengthen cricket-specific muscles to help control your cricket equipment, your balance, your control and most importantly, breathing awareness and flexibility.

What is Yoga?

Yoga is a Hindu discipline aimed at training the consciousness for a state of perfect spiritual insight and tranquillity. It may seem a far cry from the game of cricket, and you might be wondering why incorporating a Hindu discipline into your training will help you handle your cricket equipment better. The fact is the physical effects of practising yoga will give you the flexibility, strength and endurance that will make you a better player. On a mental level, the idea of training with Yoga to quieten the mind can also be of enormous benefit before you pick up your cricket equipment. Through breathing, you can find a calm and focused state of mind when you are under pressure on the golf course.

Training

Like any kind of training, you need to incorporate yoga into a regular part of your life for it to have an effect on improving how you handle your cricket equipment. Over time you can develop a yoga programme to help increase batting control, ball speed, your range of motion with your cricket bat as well as reduce the risk of injury.

Similarities of Yoga and Cricket
The nature of yoga is very similar to cricket in that with appropriate practice, you can bring in sufficient control over your mind and body. There's no time to think about the next forthcoming action, it just follows through with ease.

Being Realistic

You won't turn into Daniel Craig overnight and have the perfect sporting body, so set yourself realistic goals to improve how you handle your cricket equipment and physical fitness according to how much time you can dedicate to training. Remember, sticking to a training routine is the key. Dedicate time in your week to Yoga and don't let that time be compromised by work, phone calls or emails. It is an investment that will have fantastic benefits on the effectiveness of how you perform, and of course, it will impact on your overall, general sense of well being.
