chi-performance

Martin Dowling, Violin player and teacher

“I am as passionate about my golf as I am serious about musical performance, and I have found Jayne’s methods and principles, as explained in her book Breathe Golf and refined in one-to-one Skype lessons, to be deeply enriching to both endeavours. Blending tai chi principles into an active meditation practice applied in both seated and standing postures has strengthened both my approach to the golf swing and to violin playing. From the stillness that comes from resting the mind in the t’an tien (or hara) while following the breath comes the fluid motion of a perfect golf swing, and freely and confidently expressed music. Jayne has pointed me down a path of continuous enrichment and improvement, and I now feel more prepared than ever for those moments when I am asked to play my best”.
