Lighter, happier, stronger
According to Julies the programme will reopen in February 2026, and they invite even more older adults to join. “If you’ve been sitting at home feeling isolated or overwhelmed by life’s pressures, this is your chance to break free, connect, and rediscover your vitality. Every session leaves you feeling lighter, happier, and stronger—because taking time for yourself is worth it. Let’s make 2026 even bigger and better. Spread the word, bring a friend, and let’s continue promoting active aging together,” she says.
