Why Static Holds in Yoga Are Amazing for Your Body

In yoga, we often hold poses like Plank or Warrior II for what might feel like forever—but there’s a reason! These static holds, known as isometric exercises, are incredibly beneficial for our health.

Dr. Jamie O’Driscoll, a cardiovascular physiology expert, highlights how isometric exercises (like the plank) can significantly lower blood pressure. Holding these poses keeps your muscles engaged without stretching or contracting, creating stability and strength throughout your body.

On top of that, the plank isn’t just great for your heart—it’s also better than crunches or sit-ups for strengthening your abs and core! So, every time we hold a pose in class, remember: you’re not just building endurance; you’re also protecting your heart and creating a stronger, healthier body.

A small effort during class can lead to big results in your overall fitness and wellbeing. Let’s embrace the holds and feel the transformation together!

Details on how yoga improves vascular function, particularly through enhanced endothelial function, one of the key mechanisms by which yoga can help regulate blood pressure. The endothelium is the inner lining of blood vessels and plays a critical role in maintaining vascular health.

Last Christmas

Bath Report written by Meyrick Williams (He/Him)

Every year, we have one of our most popular missions: putting up the Christmas decorations at St John's Court at the end of November. It's really great, you should try it, it's almost as if Christmas starts with this mission.

However, there obviously comes a time when we have to reverse our good work and take the decorations down. Now, usually, this is not as popular a mission as putting the decorations up; no one wants to say good bye to Christmas.

Last night though, we had a pretty good crowd with seven GoodGymmers turning up to de-Christmas St John's Court. Newcomers Alice and Steve were both very welcome indeed and we look forward to seeing them both again on future missions!

Also in attendance were GoodGym stalwarts Stephen, Tanya, Meyrick, Vicky and recent addition Katie. All in all more than enough hands to help pack everything away.

There was genuine thanks from the residents as well, one had even come downstairs especially to thanks us for putting up (and taking down) the decorations for them every year as they could not do it without us.

We left promising to see them again next Christmas - it's only 352 days away....

yoga talk Improved Flexibility: Fascial stretching gradually elongates the collagen and elastin fibers within the fascia. This can lead to increased range of motion around joints and a reduction in muscle tension. Yoga’s emphasis on mindful stretching and movement supports this process3.
