Welcome to the player's yoga studio.

Absolutely. Our Carmel Valley Basics Class is always free, and the perfect full-body intro to Good Practice. No sign-up required.

I highly recommend one — mainly to prevent slipping. A simple $10-$20 mat from TJ Maxx or one like this from Amazon works perfectly fine.

If you decide to invest in a higher-quality mat, my suggestions are Manduka or Lululemon. If you're ~5'10 or taller, you may be more comfortable on an extra-long and/or extra-wide option.

I'm 6'1 and practice on the Long & Wide (79"x30") version of the Manduka ProLite.

Two sessions per week is the sweet spot for most golfers. It keeps your body open and balanced while leaving plenty of time for gym work, golf practice, and playing.

A class per day is quite normal for more active players.

• Grounding: Arrive, breathe, and settle in

• Warm Up: Gentle mobility and easy movement to ready the body

• Build: Active postures and flowing sequences that develop better rotation, stability, and balance

• Peak: The strongest posture or sequence of the day

• Cool down: Unwind with deeper stretching and calming restorative postures

• Rest/Savasana: Complete relaxation in a lying posture to close the practice

You can stream classes on your TV by casting from your computer or mobile device. That said, most students prefer simply practicing with a laptop or mobile device at the top of their mat.
