Yoga could reduce the risk of relapses among cancer patients, said scientists. A team of US researchers told the American Society of Clinical Oncology’s annual meeting in Chicago that taking two yoga classes a week for a month significantly cut inflammation and therefore “clinicians should consider prescribing yoga for survivors experiencing inflammation, which may lead to [. . .] increased risk of progression, recurrence and second cancer”. The research, at the University of Rochester, New York state, involved more than 500 patients, mainly women who had recovered from breast cancer

When was the last time you moved your toaster? Did crumbs spill everywhere? Was it 7ft high? If the answer to all of those was yes how much marmite do you get through!!!!

Six goodgymers met at Sparks to move a toaster. Veterans of toaster moving might remember we had to empty it first before. Imagine our shock when the toaster was empty. All we had to do was move it across the floor to the other side. How hard can it be? After debating the best way to move it without scratching the floor we settled on sliding a cloth underneath…. and off we went at speed…. Scratttttttch… a quick adjustment and we were off again. We were soon across the shop floor and got it tucked up in the corner. All that was left was to arrange seats into a circle for the clown life drawing. Apparently the clowns are full clothed… which is probably for the best. And we were done. Well done everyone!

If anyone gets this far tell us your best clown joke or fact.

Yoga is well known for its infinite benefits. Whether they’re physical; improving strength, and flexibility, building a sweat, recovering from injuries, or more on a meditative level promoting calmness, stillness, and relaxation. Through the use of asana, you become more aware of your body and by incorporating breathing you create a moving meditation that brings awareness of your spiritual self. The strengths and flexibility that come from dedicated yoga practice will at one point translate into your everyday lives, changing the way you deal with problems and situations. By practicing yoga, you’ll learn discipline and challenge yourself on and off the mat without taking anything too seriously.
