Breathe GOLF

Jayne Storey is a pioneer of the emerging genre that seeks to unite eastern spiritual practice with high performance in pressure situations. Her unique approach helps golfers strengthen their mind-body connection so they can bring together their mental game and technique to deliver fluid yet precise shots, especially during competition. Jayne's expertise is based on a lifetime's `deep practice' and teaching of Buddhist meditation and Tai Chi. Based on almost two decades of independent research and development, her unique Chi-Performance GOLF methodology is now proven across all levels of the game. She writes for a number of industry publications and has been featured on BBC television and radio.
