We are what we think

Meditation

Meditation does require a little discipline.  I do believe that the hardest part of meditating is actually the bit where you think, mmm, I really should meditate, maybe later, and then you go against all of your natural urges and actually STOP and do it!  I found this fabulous post and photo on zen habits.  Hope it helps!

Yoga for Golf

Yesterday my eldest son (can't believe he is now a bean pole of over 6ft) attended a fabulous golf day with Nigel Furniss and his colleagues at www.egpi.eu.  This company consists of a team of highly experienced golf professionals who analyse swings, assess fitness for golf, assist in planning and managing training (not practise apparently!) and give all round excellent guidance.  So, how embarassing that this son of mine has incredibly tight hamstrings, I believe some of the tightest the fitness coach had seen!  It's not as if I haven't offered him a free space at my yoga class is it?  Isn't it interesting how sometimes those closest to us just can't get the message from us, it has to come from someone else?  In a phone chat this morning I was heartened to hear that Nigel himself does yoga so a good role model for budding golf professionals!
