A few GoodGym people came to do online yoga. Thanks for coming any feedback would be welcome.

Yoga Benefits with Static Holds Incorporating static holds like planks and wall chair squats into your yoga practice offers several benefits: 1. Enhanced Muscle Strength and Endurance: Continuous muscle engagement builds strength and endurance. 2. Improved Vascular Health: Better blood vessel elasticity aids in lower blood pressure. 3. Lower Heart Rate: Regular practice can reduce your resting heart rate. 4. Stress Reduction: Deep breathing and mindfulness lower stress levels. 5. Better Circulation: Enhanced blood flow supports cardiovascular health. Tips for Balance * Alternate Days: Combine static holds with dynamic exercises like fast walking running or cycling. * Combine in One Session: Warm-up with dynamic exercises, incorporate static holds, and cool down with stretches. * Weekly Schedule: Mix 3 days of dynamic exercises, 2 days of static holds, and 2 rest days. Stay consistent and listen to your body for the best results.

I signed up to get moving after being laid up with a virus for 5 days. The session was really invigorating - thank you Paul! Especially for encouraging us to only go as far as we could and to take breaks in child's pose, which I needed to do a couple of times. The mountain poses are great, really helped with my focus and resilience in getting back on my feet for the rest of the day. The core work out was really good too.
