Breathing Exercises for Golf

Golf is a sport of long walks and short, precise moments. Pressure shows up in tight grips and quick backswings, and a breath taken before the shot is one of the few things you can control on a nervy tee.

How to use them

Practise Box Breathing and Alternate Nostril daily to build steady, focused attention. On the course, Triangle Breath fits a pre-shot routine, and Clutch Reset is a single quiet cycle for the putt that matters. Make it the same every time, so it becomes a trigger rather than a thought.

New to this? Start with Box Breathing: Equal parts inhale, hold, exhale, hold. Used by Navy SEALs for calm focus.

Every day: build the base

Train daily, away from the action.

• Box Breathing — Equal parts inhale, hold, exhale, hold. Used by Navy SEALs for calm focus.
• Alternate Nostril — Ancient yogic technique for balance and clarity.

Game day: before and between efforts

Before and between efforts.

• Triangle Breath — Inhale, hold, exhale - equal counts for steady aim.
• Clutch Reset — One quiet cycle to steady hands and eyes under pressure.
