Even though we spend a lot of our day doing things on one side … using our dominant hand, stepping forward with the same foot, sitting cross-legged with the same leg in front to name a few, golf is a very one-sided practice.
Consider this, you might take over 100 practice swings, lean into 30-40 putts and bend down 40-50 times to pick up a ball; all on one side. That, coupled with walking 4-5 miles can put a lot of strain on the golfer’s body.
Yoga is the perfect complement to regain balance Read More

Fr. Glenn: The Enemy Of Striving
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
In our media today—mainstream, social and other—we are ever deluged with criticism. Political party against party, candidate against candidate, stance against stance, screamers against screamers. Those on the receiving end of ceaseless criticism can easily fall into a depressing funk of futility … feeling that no matter what they do, say or think, it will be criticized and even condemned. Fix one thing, and critics will just point out a perceived weakness somewhere else. Spouse verbal abuse often falls into this category: a spouse’s unrealistic or ever-changing expectations Read More
Leonard: Get Unstuck And Transform Any Aspect Of Your Life … Part 1
By LAURA LEONARD

Have you ever felt stuck in a certain aspect of your life? The answer to this question is likely a yes for most of us. It is human nature to find ourselves struggling with repetitive patterns that we feel powerless to change.
The key to escaping from the hamster wheel is digging into our subconscious beliefs which lurk below the surface of awareness.
A great image to depict this is of an iceberg floating with only the tip sticking out of the water. What lies above is the conscious mind and what lies below is the subconscious mind. The question is why? It Read More
