About Us

Jayne Storey

Jayne Storey started her personal and professional journey back in 1987, when she started taking lessons in T’ai Chi, at a class in East London.

Captivated by the grace and power of the T’ai Chi “form” (a choreographed sequence of movements), Jayne went on to study with some of China’s most elite masters and their senior students in the UK. After ten years of continuous study, she opened her first weekly T’ai Chi class and this grew into a number of classes at health and leisure centres in and around her home county of Surrey.

In around 2002 Jayne turned her attention towards the world of sport, and in particular to golf, after she heard the great Jack Nicklaus comment that “golf is played with the feet”. Nicklaus went on to explain that the power in the golf swing comes from the ground upwards, and indeed he was famous for leaving his footprints in the ground after his swing!

Hearing Nicklaus’s comments instantly reminded Jayne of the writings of the grand-master of Yang style T’ai Chi, the much revered Yang Chen Fu, who wrote that “T’ai Chi is rooted in the feet, moves though the waist and is expressed in the hands”.

This synergy between golf and the martial arts lead Jayne to intensive research and study and eventually to the Professional Golfers’ Association, where her two seminars – “The Tao of the Mental Game” and “Performance Biomechanics” are now part of the PGA’s Professional Development Programme.

Jayne has also worked with athletes from a variety of other sports, including swimming, snow-boarding, motor racing, running, rugby and tennis.

She is a member of the T’ai Chi Union for Great Britain, the Fitness Professionals and is the T'ai Chi representative for Runnymede Sports Council.

In January 2008, the first team of Chi Kung and T’ai Chi instructors from the T’ai Chi Union for Great Britain, received their accreditation certificates, after completing their 12 month golf-related training with Jayne.
