Pilates for Golfers – A New Guide

June 28th, 2009 admin

Image via Wikipedia My friends at Pilates Digest have done it again (see my review of their Pilates Mat for Osteoporosis guidebook)! While there are several books, dvds, and Pilates teacher training courses geared towards Pilates for Golfers, to my mind nobody has yet come up with a clear, easy to understand book for PILATES TEACHERS that explains the golf game and swing faults in enough detail to allow any Pilates teacher to address strength and flexibility imbalances that are affecting their golfer clients’ game. Until now, that is. Pilates for Golfers is a brilliant guide not only for Pilates teachers but for any personal trainer who really wants to understand the physical game of golf and how to correct swing faults and other imbalances

Golfers and Pilates
Image by sfslim via Flickr I was reminded this week of how great Pilates is for Golfers , whether recreational or competitive. Just through the basic exercises it is easy to see imbalances that create swing faults and then address them. If you teach Pilates and do not know much about golf, a great resource is the Pilates for Golfers manual which... 
Latest Reviews of My Pilates Ebooks and mp3 Downloads
First a great one from Kathi Casey, whose Get Off the Couch, Potato I reviewed last month. In all three audios, Lippin’s calm and reassuring voice explains in detail Pilates breathing patterns and how to keep a neutral spine. Many other programs leave these instructions out, endangering a customer’s back and neck. I was very impressed... 
Teaching Pilates Mat for Osteoporosis
Teaching Pilates Mat for Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is one of the trickiest diagnoses to work with for a Pilates teacher since so much of Pilates, and especially Pilates mat, is in forward thoracic flexion which is completely contraindicated for people with low bone density. While it is quite easy to find existing Pilates exercises and modify some on the Pilates equipment (especially... 
Pilates In A Resort
Most guests who I see for Pilates or personal fitness training at Parrot Cay are understandably wary when it comes to their first class or session. From what I understand from talking to people, most resorts hire younger less experienced teachers and the classes are just average. Recently I met some people who just returned from Cozumel vacations...

Image of Pilates-Pro.com My friend, Pilates teacher Anne Samoilov interviewed me recently about teaching Pilates, blogging, social media, and whether or not a new teacher should open a Pilates studio. The interview is now live on Pilates-Pro.com, Pilates Mentors: Q&A with ‘Pilates Goddess’ Lynda Lippin . I love being called a Mentor and... 
A Problem with Pilates?
A Problem with Pilates?
I was scrolling through my Google alerts today and found an interesting article, A Problem With Pilates by Florida Personal Trainer Marissa Lysaght, owner of Fitness Redefined . Lysaght starts out by telling us about her former love for Pilates mat exercises which she really felt in her abs (of course all the ones she mentions are on the back in... 
Rehab Pilates
Yesterday I taught a Rehab Pilates session to a Japanese journalist who told me that Rehab exercise and Pilates were not linked in Japanese culture. You go to a Pilates teacher for exercise, and a physician for any kind of Rehab exercises. Now this is appropriate in acute injury cases, but when you are dealing with imbalances from an injury 20 years... 
Pilates on Holiday
My job is centered on the fact that hotel guests want to either try new things while away or stay with their home routine. When that includes Pilates and Personal Training they are thrilled to find me at Parrot Cay. While even Disney vacation packages can include great spa and activities, finding a Pilates teacher with 21 years of experience is tough...

Pilates and Hernia
Caroline I received an interesting question from a mat Pilates teacher regarding Pilates with Abdominal hernia… Question: I have a student who has a upper abdominal hernia, where the hernia is trying to escape between the rectus under the breast bone. His doctor has recommend pilates and is not planning to operate. What are contra indicators... 
Golf in Myrtle Beach
You may know that I teach Golf Pilates and have written a few articles for PGA.com and Titleist Performance Institute. Now that I live in Turks and Caicos my golf choices are limited, but at least our Provo Golf Course on Providenciales is a well ranked competitive course. One of the most beautiful areas for golfing in the southern US is Myrtle Beach,...
