Yoga for Golfers and Athletes

Claire Burgess Yoga & Wellness specializes in helping golfers and athletes enhance their game through yoga, mindfulness, and functional movement.

For Individual Athletes and Sports Teams

Beyond golf, Claire also works with athletes from other sports who want to enhance performance, recovery, and focus. By building flexibility, balance, and mindfulness, yoga supports athletes in training smarter, staying injury-free, and performing at their best.

Why Yoga for Golfers?

Golf is as much about mental focus and physical balance as it is about technique. Yoga supports golfers by improving the specific skills that matter most on the turf:

  • Flexibility & Range of Motion – Increase mobility in the shoulders, hips, and spine for a smoother, more powerful swing.

  • Balance & Core Stability – Strengthen the core and stabilize the body to improve consistency and reduce strain.

  • Focus & Mental Clarity – Mindfulness and breathwork techniques sharpen concentration and help manage pressure during a round.

  • Injury Prevention & Recovery – Gentle stretches and restorative poses support joint health, reduce stiffness, and speed recovery between games.

    Whether you’re a weekend golfer or training competitively, yoga can help you improve your game, lower your risk of injury, and enjoy more time on the course.

  • “I started yoga after I was constantly getting injured while playing professional golf. The wear and tear that repetitive sports put on your body is strong. Since working with Claire, my ability to move in a golf swing has grown, my injuries have started to disappear, and I’ve gained speed overall. Other great results have been better balance and control of my breathing. It has been a big game changer for me to not only do yoga but to work with Claire.”

    — David J., Professional Golfer
