As athletes we are always looking for that competitive advantage, that extra little thing that elevates our performance.
By bringing some practices from qigong (and t’ai chi) to your game, you will gain so much in terms of increased energy, better focus, increased mental clarity, a stronger body and better overall health.
But remember, it’s not always about what you gain; sometimes you need to invest in loss. With this tailor-made program you will learn how to lose anxiety, frustration, tension and all things that prevent good performance.

Testimonials
"The qigong movements for developing greater relaxation were awesome! I loved the exercises for loosening the joints!”
"I learned so much and have already incorporated grounding my feet (at set up, back swing and finish), a purposeful breath and really trying to focus better as I address the ball.”
“I particularly enjoyed the rooted and grounded section as well as the string analogy that you use to visualise where the ball is headed.”

About Qi Golf
Qi Golf came about through the realization that many of the principles of t’ai chi and qigong can greatly enhance the golf experience. It’s about getting the mind and the body to work in harmony, to help rather than hinder performance.
You know these days when everything just seems to go right - you connect with your drives, the putts fall and everything feels effortless. Perhaps without knowing it, these are the days when you are in the ‘flow state’. Relaxed posture, slow breathing, calm mind, sinking energy, guided imagery and balance in movement. We might not get there all the time but we can definitely make it happen more often than not. This is, in fact, what some athletes call ‘the zone’ and it is not exclusive to the likes of Tiger Woods. In fact, anyone, including you, can achieve this level of internal awareness and improve their performance as a result.
