Doug Mochrie, a Class "A" PGA Member, teaching pro and Florida TV Golf Show host, ("Let's Play Golf") has endorsed the book. Mochrie is using Yoga techniques in his live lessons; he reports significant improvement for golfers who stick to the exercises. "As an engineer with the United States Golf Association (USGA), I am always looking for anything that applies science to the game of golf," said Mike Rojek who is a Senior Staff Engineer with the United States Golf Association "When I read a description of this book, I became interested in the value of mastering my emotions during my playing time on the golf course. I ordered my copy of '...Improve Your Golf With Yoga Techniques' and soon after began their program. The positive results came about rather quickly. When it came time to make a golf shot, the yoga techniques allowed me to relax and remain focused. I am encouraged that my performance on the golf course will improve even more as I continue practicing the procedures described in the book. The book is written clearly and the exercises are easy to follow. Not only has my golf game improved, but it has inspired me to take a yoga class for a better understanding of the techniques." Creator and co-author, Ashok Wahi, began the practice of Yoga approximately fifteen years ago. After beginning the discipline, Wahi noticed immediate, positive effects on both his personal and professional activities. (Wahi is a professional consulting engineer who emigrated to the US in 1974 from New Delhi, India.) He teamed up with Doug Mochrie as well as registered Yoga Instructors Stefani Pappas and Megan O'Malley to bring the benefits of Yoga to golfers everywhere. "...Improve Your Golf with Yoga Techniques" has both illustrations and photographs. It features a 9-minute warm-up, which Wahi describes as, "Specifically designed to help golfers prepare for their game." According to Wahi and Mochrie, "With the benefits of yoga, the golfer can avoid distractions, self-consciousness and fear of failure. The practice of yoga promotes the smooth functioning of the body's movements to maximize the effects of swing, stance and follow-through." The co-authors are all highly trained teachers and practitioners of Hatha Yoga. They are dedicated to applying the philosophy and techniques of yoga to improve golf as well as the general health, life style and mental focus of millions of people in the United States and abroad. Yoga is not a religion; it is a philosophy and discipline. Yoga has recently been featured as the cover story of Time magazine (April 23, 2001). The Oprah Winfrey Show devoted an entire program to the practice. Yoga is enjoying a significant surge of popularity among Americans, this book builds on that interest.
