Why Yoga Works: A New Way to Stay Active with Jim’s Gym
Something new is coming to Jim’s Gym!
Looking for an easy way to stay active from home? We’ve got you covered.
Jim’s Gym is adding live and on-demand yoga to our lineup! Starting Wednesday, 19th March at 9 AM, our newest instructor, Virginia, will be leading a simple, effective yoga class designed for over 55s who want to move more, feel stronger, and improve balance.
Can’t make it live? No problem! The session will be recorded and available on demand so you can fit it into your routine whenever suits you.
Why Yoga? The Benefits Speak for Themselves
Yoga is one of the best ways to stay active without high-impact exercise. It’s easy on the joints, great for mobility, and helps you feel stronger in everyday life.
Here’s what it can do for you:
✔ Improves balance – Helps prevent falls and keeps you steady on your feet.
✔ Builds strength – Engages muscles in a controlled way to keep you strong and independent.
✔ Reduces stiffness – Helps loosen tight joints and ease tension.
✔ Boosts flexibility and posture – Makes everyday movements easier.
✔ Supports mental well-being – Many people find yoga helps them feel calmer, focused, and more relaxed.
Best of all? You can do it from home, at your own pace.
A Home Workout That Works for You
Not everyone enjoys the same type of exercise—and that’s okay! Some people love cardio, some prefer strength training, and others enjoy more fluid and relaxed movement.
Virginia’s yoga class gives you another way to stay active from home—whether you’re looking for something gentle, a way to complement strength training, or an option to help with recovery.
And remember, if you can’t make it live, you can watch the replay on demand anytime!
What to Expect in Virginia’s Yoga Class
If you’ve never tried yoga before, you might be wondering what to expect. Virginia’s class is designed to be accessible and enjoyable for everyone.
No need to be flexible – Yoga improves flexibility over time, so you don’t need to start with any.
Options for all levels – Virginia will guide you at your own pace.
