A few people came online to do yoga with GoodGym. Thanks for coming please leave any feedback and comments.
everyone was dog tired at the end!
Yoga talk If your wrists are hurting, Do think about adapting the position if possible going onto your elbows. (You could also think about going onto your fists as a change) Another technique that might help is to think about pushing your fingers down and gripping the mat more.( something I haven’t mentioned for awhile.) You could also think about using blocks to reduce pressure.

I am setting up a business from home, a yoga session is a nice way to give energy to tackle the day. Yoga is also great for my flexiblity. All these benefits and no leaving the house!

I enjoyed the session today as I implemented what I learnt in the last session - dolphin pose for the plank. A plank is just not attainable for me at the moment but resting on my elbows worked and I can build up endurance and strength in this position. Thanks Paul!

The Good Gym group tonight had a perfect activity for a balmy summers evening. Moya, Rachel and Beattie set off on a short run to the Long Lane Pasture Nature Reserve, a little paradise hidden in the back streets of East Finchley, and met up with Yesika and George and the crew from the reserve Donald, Maureen and Winston. A shout out for the snacks and water provided! Our first job was to fish out the life-ring which had found its way into the pond, which was a satisfying challenge aided by some maneuvering with a rake in the undergrowth. We then quickly 'snapped up' the shears and got to work snipping back overhanging brambles and branches so that the winding pathways were kept clear, and George with his professional gardening skills worked on clearing piles around the reserve. We could see some blackberries ready for ripening, and greenfinches, song thrushes and a moorhen kept us entertained with a chorus. We also spotted their bee hives at the end. Do visit this little haven if you get the chance.

A few GoodGym members came together to do online yoga.
Yoga talk
Yoga has been shown to have a significant effect on cellular health, including the regeneration of cells in the pancreas and increased glucose metabolism and insulin receptors. It also benefits the musculoskeletal system by strengthening joints and supporting muscles. The isometric poses in yoga train smaller muscles around our joints for better balance and coordination, while regular stretching makes muscles more flexible

It was a day of triumph both for nature lovers and football fans as GoodGym Barnet joined the Coppetts Wood Festival on a sunny day that also saw England clinch a victory against Serbia in the European championships. The festival buzzed with community spirit, inviting everyone to dive into the beauty of Coppetts Wood and celebrate local initiatives. Amidst the towering oaks, festival-goers enjoyed a puppet show, face painting, and live music, while savoring BBQ treats and craft beer. GoodGym’s Paul Salman and newcomer Sanchita shared the exciting journey of Barnet’s Tiny Forest, inspiring many to roll up their sleeves for the environment. The day was more than just fun; it was a call to action. Engaging chats with locals like a Morris dancer who promotes safe cycling revealed a collective drive for a greener, more active community. check out his hurdy-gurdy! So why not jump in? Whether it’s supporting a Tiny Forest or grooving with Morris dancers, your local community is the place to be. Let’s keep the spirit alive and kick goals for nature and neighborhood alike!
