"My students have improved their game with Katherine's unique and effective program."

... Like many women golfers, I've struggled to hit the ball further and more consistently in order to lower my handicap. I figured it must be the clubs, right??...so I tried different equipment without success. A friend suggested I try "Yoga for Golfers". I purchased 3 of your DVDs: Par, Birdie & Eagle level and started practicing it. I noticed an improvement in my strength, posture, balance and flexibility - - -and I've lowered my handicap 10 strokes! Also, the core strength I've built from practicing yoga has eliminated the lower back pain I experienced in the past. It is true that your most important club is your body - - and Yoga for Golfers helped me get the most from it.
I love golf and I want to thank you for introducing me to another passion - yoga. Combining the two is magic! I will always be grateful to you.
Thank You ! - Carol Holley, Boston, MA

I have been practicing yoga for golfers for about 4 months now. I started with the par level and have progressed to the birdie level. It is remarkable how much flexibility I have gained. The workouts are fun; challenging and you see results in a very short period of time. I have particularly noticed that I no longer have a sore lower back after playing 18 holes as I once did. And did I mention yoga for golfers has helped me to lose 10 lbs?

As a touring professional, Katherine Roberts' Yoga for Golfers has been invaluable. My game experienced a huge shift and decrease in my average score after working with Katherine's program for only 30 days. Katherine's style of teaching and the energy she shares with her students, whether on the video or in a class is like an extra club in the bag.

Thanks, Katherine for your advice! Since the beginning of the year, I have made practicing yoga a routine, at least three times a week as recommended. I have already noticed how it is helping with my game. I have been able to practice golf for much longer durations and much more often. I have been able to practise for five consecutive days for an average of two and a half hours a day! Haven't been able to do that before! Not only that, but when I get the swing mechanics working, I am hitting it almost 10 yards further than before. I am very excited about what yoga can do for my game as I continue working at it. Thank you most sincerely for your series.

Testimonials about Yoga for Golfers Books & DVDs
I just ordered Katherine Roberts' DVD 'Yoga for Golfers 1 & 2.' My wife and I have used the 'Yoga for Golfers' VHS tape for about three years annd are convinced it has helped our golf game. We use the tape about two hours before each round and by the time we get to our country club course, we are loosened up and ready to play.

It has now been one year since I started with the 'Yoga for Golfers' DVD..... what a difference a year makes..... shot a 76 the other day... my average score has dropped 10 strokes since last year.

I have been working out every day since September 2004 using exercises and stretches in 'Yoga for Golfers.' I love the material, and my golf game has improved as a direct result, I am certain. I am more flexible, and I now walk the courses instead of taking a golf cart. I have recommended your book to many other golfers.

As a 64-year-old ex-jock and avid golfer, "Yoga for Golfers" has been a godsend. Even though I have used your materials for only three weeks, my flexibility has increased and my post-round stiffness is gone. The laminated poster that I keep in my locker serves as a quick refresher when I am late for the first tee. Thanks for creating such a wonderful tool for golfers.
- Jim Slavin, 15 handicap

I read your 'Yoga for Golfers' book over the weekend, and I am really impressed with it! Your explanation of the relationship between the muscles of the body used in the various elements of the golf swing is outstanding. On page 27, your explanation of the forces on the spine during a golf swing has the precision of an engineer's writing! One wonders what your background is from this. (I mention this since I retired from Honeywell recently as a mechanical engineer.) Already, I can tell that yoga is going to be a very good for me! I can do most of the exercises at the birdie level... Great book!

Katherine, I started using your video about 3 weeks ago. I turn 49 in April and all of a sudden I'm playing the best golf of my life. Some ohter things are occurring as well. I am losing inches around my mid section. I have a lot more energy and I feel better. I now know what it feels like to stand with the correct posture and I'm doing so. I am healthier. I travel over 100 thousand air miles per year and find it very difficult to always find good work out facilities. All I do now is get up a half hour earlier and do 'Yoga for Golfers.' Have you thought about a product for people who travel a lot? It could be something similar to your poster, but would fit in a day timer. You could market a package that would include a video and a travel reference guide to take out on the road. Just an idea. In closing , thank you for developing this great procut. It has already had a profound impact on my life. Thanks.

'Yoga for Golfers' has been the single-most important thing I have done for my golf game without actually holding on to a club. Since starting with the program, I have noticed significant improvements in my flexibility, rotation, balance and core strength. This has translated into a smoother more accurate swing and longer distance. I have also found that I am more focused and centered on the golf course which in turn has led to improved scoring. What's really gratifying is that my playing partners and my golf pro have have all commented on the improvements as well.... I whole heartily recommend the Yoga for Golf program as essential off course conditioning for anyone who is serious about improving their golf game and their overall well being.

Dear Katherine, I received the Golf Yoga video and I love it! You have done a wonderful job in presenting the program in a way that makes it workable for everyone. I am 67 years old and am certain that by faithfully following this program both my feelings and performance on the course will be greatly enhanced. Thank you!

I have reviewed all three golf yoga tapes, and Katherine Roberts' 'Yoga for Golfers' is far and away the best. It's no contest.

I recieved my tape, and have already started using it. Thank you! I am a golf professional in Dallas where I teach and play quite a bit. I have already recommended your tape to one of my students today. There is so much tension in her swing, and I know this would help her. I have been through rehab for rotator cuff tendonitis due to such a stressful swing. Just from the first time I watched the tape to see what it was all about, I really agree with the stretches you use. Thanks again! I will continue to recommend it to all of my students and hope they follow through.
