It has a Preface, Acknowledgements, an Introduction, Theories of Yoga, Traditional Yoga vs. Yoga for Golfers - we haven't gotten to any actual instruction yet. A better choice for golfers looking for more flexibility and comfort would be Roger Fredericks DVD series. Rating: - DisappointingThis book was not what I expected it to be.
