Margarit’s Philosophy
“Golf is more than a game, it’s a state of mind. Yoga is more than stretching, it’s mastering a state of mind.” -Margarit Brigham
The exploration into a Yoga for Golf path begins with 5 key principles.. .using Ancient Wisdom & Modern Application, to improve the quality of your life and golf.
Centering: The purpose of Centering is to bring your mind and emotions to a calm place. To bring your focus into the present moment. If you’re thrown off balance by the high emotions that arise with the game, you learn to detach and let go.
Yoga Poses: Geared specifically for the muscles/tendons used in playing golf to increase flexibility, strength and muscle tone. The golf swing is very one sided and your whole body needs to stretch to gain flexibility. As you gain flexibility in your body this transfers over to your mind enabling you to go with the flow.
Relaxation: Relaxation is the essential ingredient in training the mind. Golfers are encouraged to set goals and are taught how to visualize themselves in achieving them.
Meditative Focused Training: Golfers are taught the skills to become more positive thinkers, which produces confidence and a belief in ones self and ability. The body never makes a mistake it acts out the messages the mind sends. Golfers learn to keep the messages clear and focused on the best outcomes.
Breathing: The Breath is the important link used in all the above techniques. When proper breathing is combined with the swing, golfers will experience instant improvement to their game and a lower handicap.
