Live online yoga for golfers in the UK & Ireland

WELCOME

Play your best golf for longer

If you play golf, yoga can have endless benefits for your physical and mental game.

Having spent 15 years as a yoga teacher, I am now working with my husband Andy and our son James to bring accessible yoga classes to golfers everywhere.

Most of us know that yoga and breathing is great for your golf (and your life). But how do you do it, where do you start and how do you fit it in? Most of all, how do you make it stick? That is our ambition.

I’ve been teaching classes online with Zoom since the very beginning of Covid; it allows regular practice in the comfort of your own home and the chance to do it with your friends.

Move freely, swing comfortably, play better golf

Golf teaches us to focus on technique – feet, hips, shoulders, posture and swing. That’s important, but when we become too focused on mechanics, our movement can become restricted instead of free.

Every swing is repeated. Over time, tension builds. We overthink, hold our breath, tighten our shoulders, and our hips, knees and back gradually lose their natural mobility.

Your body isn’t designed to stay fixed. Joints need movement. Connective tissue (fascia) needs to glide and stretch. The body thrives on twisting, reaching, bending, rotating and breathing freely in every direction. Great golf isn’t just about posture. It’s about freedom of movement.

And then there’s the breath…

Managing stress, anxiety and a busy mind is a huge part of life. Breathwork is at the heart of every class I teach. Once you learn how to befriend your breath, it can become a very powerful tool.

By understanding how to breathe more effectively and learning a few simple techniques, you can start to change the way your body and brain respond to stress. These are skills you can take with you into everyday life and the lovely thing is, you always have it with you.

That’s the difference yoga can make.

WhatsApp Community groups

Alongside our classes, we have a Just Breathe WhatsApp Group, bringing us together beyond the yoga mat. We will create dedicated sub-groups for golf clubs, roll-ups and regular playing groups—and because many golfers belong to more than one community, we'll set up and moderate as many groups as we need.

Our aim is simple: to create welcoming spaces where we can connect, encourage one another and perhaps bring a little accountability that we sometimes need to make it stick! We also want to encourage a safe space for feedback, so we can continue to improve what we do.

We practice 3 Aspects of Yoga in our live classes

Asanas – Yoga physical postures and movement

Through the yoga postures called asanas we start to develop a new or long forgotten relationship with our physical bodies. Forget any preconceived ideas you might have around bendy bodies, folded into impossible looking shapes, I will guide you through easy-to-follow enjoyable movement practices which focus on the whole body.

We will explore basic postures aimed at strengthening and stretching muscles, improving and maintaining movement and flexibility. We will bring in a playful awareness of balance with a strong focus on our feet to help us notice areas of imbalance.

With practice we attune to our bodies and become alert to our internal sensations. This somatic awareness helps us feel more at home in our bodies and this can happen at any age. This is exciting and hopeful as we tend to believe that stiffness and reduction in comfortable movement is an inevitable part of aging. I don’t believe this is true.

The Breath

Beathing should be the most natural thing in the world. It is the first thing we do when we are born and the last thing we do before we die. When we breathe correctly, we breathe in and out through the nose, our diaphragm flows up and down like a parachute and we can see the belly gently rising with each in breath and falling with each out breath.

However, for most of us, this breathing pattern has gradually become illusive most of the time. With everyday stresses of jobs, relationship and illness, breathing is no longer effortless, and mouth breathing is commonplace but it lead to a host of physical and mental problems, not least contributing to anxiety and poor sleep.

In my yoga classes I will help you to recognise signs of dysfunctional breathing and teach you simple breathing techniques which will have a huge impact on your organs, immune system, sleep patterns and mental health.

Meditation

Meditation can sound a bit out there to western minds, although the benefits are undisputed.

In our sessions, I will guide you into mindful awareness of the breath during our physical practice as well as spending 15 minutes per class sitting quietly observing our breathing.

In time, you can expect to notice a reduction in stress and an improvement in your all-round emotional state as breath awareness meditation actively changes the physical structure of the brain through neuroplasticity.
