Breathe Life Into Your Game

“You have to tame your breath to tame your brain”  -BKS Iyengar

The quickest way to improve your attitude, swing tempo and focus is to breathe! Taking slow, long, deep diaphragmatic breaths is a game changer.

Important shots in golf require our brain to be quiet and focused.  Use your deep breathing techniques while:

• Waiting on the group in front of you.
• Standing on the first tee.
• Walking between shots.
• PRE-SHOT ROUTINE.
• Distracted by a playing partner.
• Too nervous or tense over a shot.
• Emotionally charged, angry.
• Swing tempo is getting too quick.
• And more. .

Often overlooked, but an essential tool, use deep breathing to keep you on track and play your best golf.
