The Body Governs the Swing: Why Assessment Comes First with Lance Gill

What if the swing problem you're trying to fix isn't really a swing problem at all? In this episode of the Yoga for Golf® Podcast, I'm joined by renowned golf performance educator Lance Gill to explore one of the most important principles in golf performance: the body governs the swing. Lance explains why assessment should come before instruction or training, how physical capabilities and limitations influence the way a golfer swings, and why simply chasing more mobility or flexibility isn't always the answer. We discuss the relationship between the body and the golf swing, what a quality movement assessment can reveal, common misconceptions about golf fitness, and how golfers can train with greater purpose instead of simply chasing symptoms. Whether you're a golfer, coach, fitness professional, or movement specialist, this conversation offers a deeper look at the why behind the swing — and why understanding the golfer in front of you should always come first.
