25.01.2022 I know, I know - I've only just come back from a holiday but the chance to spend a week hanging out with one of my oldest friend and her family doesn't come up all that often So there will be no IMMY classes on: - Monday 18 January, - Wednesday 20 January, and ... - Thursday 21 January. If you are keen to book in for the following week's class, I would absolutely love that Head to http://www.immyoga.com and go to the Book Now tab. Looking forward to seeing you all on your mats either in the studio or virtually #IMMY #ImogenesMovementMassageandYoga #yogagladstone #yogaforall #yogalove #virtualyoga #studioyoga #cometoyoga #everyone #pleaseshare #yogaflow #gentleflow #yogahiit #onyourmat #yogastudio #yogalove #yogapractice #yogacommunity #meditation #namaste #mysoulhonoursyoursoul #beachholidays #playgroupfriendsforever

25.01.2022 Mantras from aimhappy.com "I consciously attract positive energy to me by radiation positive energy from within. I repel negativity by blessing it and moving on, not be feeding it with more judgement or fear. Negative energy is really a plea for love; I acknowledge the places that are lacking in love, light and positivity and I choose to give those qualities where they're needed most. ... This is how I attract more of what I do want and enjoy." It may seem a little bit "hippy" but I do believe in the power of mantras and the law of attraction The whole existence of IMMY is a testament to it During each and every class, I send each person attending a little bit of love, light and positivity because you are the energy I want in my life Namaste, Imogene

24.01.2022 Sometimes I dont wear yoga clothes Sometimes I wear real clothes Sometimes I go out after dark, in real clothes but, dont worry, I still talk about yoga Thank you to the Zonta Club of Gladstone for inviting me to be part of their Wellness, Relaxation and Mindfulness themed meeting last night - it was wonderful to share some pranayama (breathing) techniques, a gentle chair yoga session and a body scan meditation with so many inspiring women ... If you have a group, club or workplace that would benefit from some Zen, please let me know - Id love to share some yoga love with you #IMMY #ImogenesMovementMassageandYoga #zonta #zontagladstone #workplacezen #virtualyoga #studioyoga #yogaforall #gladstoneyoga

Virtual Only Yoga Flow @ 9.15am Studio & Virtual Hope to see you on your mat (you know you need it ) www.immyoga.com #IMMY #ImogenesMovementMassageandYoga #yogagladstone #yogaforall #yogalove #virtualyoga #studioyoga #cometoyoga #everyone #pleaseshare #yogaflow #gentleflow #yogahiit #onyourmat #yogastudio #yogalove #yogapractice #yogacommunity #meditation #namaste #mysoulhonoursyoursoul

24.01.2022 It's My Birthday Tomorrow So what better, self-indulgent excuse is there to introduce myself to those who are new to IMMY Hi, I'm Imogene England (nee Pugh - I feel like my Nanas when I write that) and I am a yoga instructor ... I have been teaching yoga for 5 years but yoga has been part of my life since I was a little girl, attempting the 70's stylised poses in my mum's yoga book collection Imogene's Movement, Massage & Yoga or IMMY started in February 2020 and I have been honoured to continue to teach my wonderful regular yogis as well as to meet many lovely new yogis since then The name IMMY is very special to me - it was my nickname when I was younger (before I became Imo ) and IMMY also represents the initials of my family - Imogene, Michael, Matilda & Yosseph My approach to sharing yoga is that you don't have to take yourself seriously on your mat - you can smile, you can laugh and you can feel joyful. Yoga, for me, is also about connection - connection to your breath, your body, your mind and your community Yoga is for everyone - it is just about finding the style of practice, the teacher and the consistency that works for you If you want to find out more goss about me, head to my website - http://www.immyoga.com #IMMY #ImogenesMovementMassageandYoga #yogagladstone #yogaforall #yogalove #virtualyoga #studioyoga #cometoyoga #everyone #pleaseshare #yogaflow #gentleflow #yogahiit #onyourmat #yogastudio #yogalove #yogapractice #yogacommunity #meditation #namaste #mysoulhonoursyoursoul #happybirthdaytome

24.01.2022 Just a reminder - No Virtual Yoga Flow on Saturday 12 September but, fear not, my dear yogis! We have a Pop-Up Virtual Yoga Flow Class on Sunday 13 September at 9.15am so you can still get your weekend yoga fix ... Hope to see you on your mat soon #IMMY #ImogenesMovementMassageandYoga #yogagladstone #yogaforall #yogalove #virtualyoga #studioyoga #sundayyoga

24.01.2022 A special acknowledgement for a wonderful supporter of IMMY! Ann has now attended over 100 classes since we started in February - what an amazing commitment I feel so honoured that Ann has trusted me so much to walk with her on her yoga journey #zox #youareenough #thankyou

24.01.2022 "Maybe the journey isn't so much about becoming anything. Maybe it's about unbecoming everything that isn't really you, so you can be who you were meant to be in the first place." Summer Saldana I'll just leave this here for whoever might need to read it. Sending you much love, whatever journey you might be on

24.01.2022 I don't mind what brings you into yoga, even if it is climbing up and down of chimneys I may have some questions but absolutely no judgement here I just love that you make the commitment to yourself to turn up - to take the time to stretch, breathe and connect so that you can find what you need from your practice Find some calm in this "silly season" and find yourself in a yoga class ... Book in at http://www.immyoga.com Namaste, Imogene #IMMY #ImogenesMovementMassageandYoga #yogagladstone #yogaforall #yogalove #virtualyoga #studioyoga #cometoyoga #everyone #pleaseshare #yogaflow #gentleflow #yogahiit #onyourmat #yogastudio #yogalove #yogapractice #yogacommunity #meditation #namaste #mysoulhonoursyoursoul #christmasyoga

Book it in ahead of time and make it a non-negotiable appointment for you. I promise to create a stress-free space where you can reconnection, reset and refocus.

23.01.2022 Expressions of Interest Please As Matilda has her first Speech & Drama Exam on Saturday 12 September, there will be no Virtual Yoga Flow on that day However, if there is enough interest, I would be happy to hold a Virtual Yoga Flow on Sunday 13 September at 9.15am instead ... If you are keen to come along to this Pop-Up Sunday class, please give me your favourite love heart emoji below or send me a PM PS - Saturday's class on Saturday 5 Sept will be on

22.01.2022 Easier said then done! Sometimes I allow myself to dream of being able to simply float through my days, sprinkling the glitter of grace and gratitude wherever I go Unfortunately, even for yoga teachers, this is not the reality Worry and regret, along with feelings of frustration, anger, shame and disappointment, sink into everyone's life and this is essentially what makes us human What can make a difference is how we react and respond to these emotions, or even just b...eing aware of them to begin with. By simply naming the feeling, we can help bring clarity to our thoughts and identify patterns that play out within our minds During any time of self-discovery or self-development, it is so important to be kind to yourself and accept that you are doing your best

22.01.2022 It may be school holidays but that doesn't mean you have to miss your yoga and your zen time. One of the wonderful things about virtual classes is that you can do them from home or wherever you might be, with or without your kids practising as well And now all of IMMY classes are available virtually so you can still do your favourite class and keep your routine flowing ... Or, if you would like to attend a studio class with your kids, I would love to have them join us See you on your mat soon, Namaste, Imogene #IMMY #ImogenesMovementMassageandYoga #yogagladstone #yogaforall #yogalove #virtualyoga #studioyoga #cometoyoga #everyone #pleaseshare #yogaflow #gentleflow #yogahiit #onyourmat #yogastudio #yogalove #yogapractice #yogacommunity #meditation #namaste #mysoulhonoursyoursoul #greatimitator #kidsyoga

22.01.2022 This is not just a yoga student issue - it is also a yoga instructor issue But, how good is that feeling once you get into the class, you get on your mat and you take that first full breath It always makes everything worth it ... What is your favourite part of a yoga class? #IMMY #ImogenesMovementMassageandYoga #yogagladstone #yogaforall #yogalove #virtualyoga #studioyoga #cometoyoga #everyone #pleaseshare #yogaflow #gentleflow #yogahiit #onyourmat #yogastudio #yogalove #yogapractice #yogacommunity #meditation #namaste #mysoulhonoursyoursoulmysoulhonoursyoursoul

21.01.2022 Oh My Goodness - gets me laughing, every single time!! Ain't we all just a little messed up?? Sometimes, it's best just to let it all out ... And you can let it out in an IMMY class - I don't mind at all https://www.facebook.com/stacy.garraway/videos/2582898495074367/

21.01.2022 Thank you all so so much for all the birthday love and good wishes yesterday I felt so very special So ... as a small gift, I have recorded 3 short meditations in the form of podcasts Yes - this is the "something new is coming soon!" These meditations are unscripted, just like in our practice together, and I hope they can bring a little bit of joy and connection into your day, whenever you need it ... The meditations can be found on Anchor and Spotify by searching "Meditations with IMMY" or following this link - https://open.spotify.com/show/1JMOHFQR1HcHdw30bL2xRf Any feedback would be fantastic and if you have requested for future meditation themes, please let me know

19.01.2022 "Confusion comes from over-thinking and over-managing life. Clarity comes from letting go of trying to work everything out and being present enough to see the guidance that life is already giving you." Sandy C. Newbigging Our minds are oh so powerful and the messages we repeat over in thoughts can truly shape how we feel about our lives, our situation and ourselves. Taking time to observe your thoughts, without judgement and in a safe space, is essential to move from co...nfusion to clarity. Practising yoga can help provide you with this time and space. Come along to a class soon and notice the change from the beginning to the end of the practice. Hope to see you on your mat soon

19.01.2022 I am so very lucky to be able to teach in the beautiful space - it felt like coming home from the moment I stepped in there With it's natural light, artistic vibe and air-conditioned comfort (as well as awesome landlords ), Photopia Studio at Crow Street Creative is a wonderfully magic place to practice yoga. If you haven't attended an IMMY Studio Class yet, I invite you to come along and experience the relaxed atmosphere there some time soon ...

19.01.2022 Thank you so much to the Gladstone Ports Corporation for putting together Active August and asking me to be involved If you have been to one of my classes, chances are very high that you would have done this sequence before - it's one of my favourites I am definitely no guru but I am very proud of the community that IMMY is helping to bring together

19.01.2022 Hey Teachers! Welcome to the September School Holidays - I'm not exactly sure how we got here either I know the concept of "spare time" seems very foreign to you all, even during the holidays But if you'd like to recharge with some yoga over the next two weeks, I'd love to have you along to a class or two ... With a mixture of Virtual and Studio classes held throughout the day, you can hopefully find IMMY sessions that fit into your holiday schedule Head over to http://immyoga.com to check out the timetable. New faces are always welcomed warmly at IMMY and classes are modified to suit any experience level Please tag a teacher who deserves some relaxation, me-time these school holidays #IMMY #ImogenesMovementMassageandYoga #takeabreak #teachersrock #workplacezen #virtualyoga #studioyoga #yogaforall #gladstoneyoga #septemberalready

18.01.2022 Great question Wally (or Waldo, if you prefer) Aren't we all just trying to find ourselves, in between all the other tasks on our to-do lists, of course Rarely we have the opportunity to take time to escape our day-to-day lives and 'discover' ourselves - a weekend away, a yoga retreat, a meditation workshop.... However, by regularly taking time to practice yoga, we can use these small increments of time to connect with our true selves and build a strong foundation for our mental health What does your yoga practice do for your mental well being? Namaste, Imogene #IMMY #ImogenesMovementMassageandYoga #yogagladstone #yogaforall #yogalove #virtualyoga #studioyoga #cometoyoga #everyone #pleaseshare #yogaflow #gentleflow #yogahiit #onyourmat #yogastudio #yogalove #yogapractice #yogacommunity #meditation #namaste #mysoulhonoursyoursoul #whereswally #whereewaldo #findyourselfonyourmat

17.01.2022 Sometimes plans change and you have no control over the change, only your reaction to it. Instead of attending a Rising Strong Workshop today, Im at a Mountain Bike Race in Rocky. Yep, not what I expected either But it does give me the chance to freshen up on the importance of vulnerability and bravery with this wonderful book as well as spending some QT with the family Yeah, my initial internal reaction to this change definitely wasnt perfect but, through th...e practice of gratitude (practice being the key word ), you can turn any situation around Thinking of you Jen

17.01.2022 Happy Birthday To Me My Birthday Studio Yoga Flow class this morning is sold out but that doesn't mean you have to miss out Join us virtually at 9.15am by booking in at http://www.immyoga.com and, if you are in Gladstone, meet us at Auckland House around 10.45am for a post-yoga-coffee - activewear is totally acceptable ... Other than coming along to class or/and coffee today , the greatest gift you could give me is to review IMMY on Facebook or recommend my classes to your family and friends - I would be forever grateful Hope you all have a wonderful day #IMMY #ImogenesMovementMassageandYoga #yogagladstone #yogaforall #yogalove #virtualyoga #studioyoga #cometoyoga #everyone #pleaseshare #yogaflow #gentleflow #yogahiit #onyourmat #yogastudio #yogalove #yogapractice #yogacommunity #meditation #namaste #mysoulhonoursyoursoul #birthdayyogi #bornin1982 #seveneleven

17.01.2022 Namastay Joyful If you are feeling a little bit overwhelmed (as we all do at times), this may be an opportunity to take a step back and find the things that bring you joy at this time of year They may be simple things, they may be small things but if these things make you smile, then they are worth thinking of often ... One of the places I find joy is on my yoga mat, surrounded by people who value community and connection If that sounds joyful to you, come along to an IMMY class, either in the studio or virtually, and let's Namastay Joyful together Namaste, Imogene PS - 3 more classes for 2020 Saturday Virtual Yoga Flow @ 9.15am Monday Yoga HIIT @ 5.15pm Yoga Flow @ 6.00pm Studio & Virtual #IMMY #ImogenesMovementMassageandYoga #yogagladstone #yogaforall #yogalove #virtualyoga #studioyoga #cometoyoga #everyone #pleaseshare #yogaflow #gentleflow #yogahiit #onyourmat #yogastudio #yogalove #yogapractice #yogacommunity #meditation #namaste #mysoulhonoursyoursoul #stayjoyful

16.01.2022 Post-Massage Hair, Yay-Yay Yep, Yoga Teachers need to release their tension too and massage is a great way to un-knot some of those stubborn knots. It was my first time seeing fellow yogi, Lorretta Aldwell and I would definitely recommend her - she got the its really hurting giggle out of me a few times #massageandyoga #theperfectmatch #nomoresoreneck #IMMY #imogenesmovementmassageandyoga

15.01.2022 Are you short of time but keen for results? Tabata is a form of High Intensity Interval Training where you work for 20 seconds, rest for 10 seconds and repeat 8 times. This style of training has been proven to be super efficient in raising your heart rate and metabolism, therefore getting getting you fitter quicker We use Tabata in Yoga HIIT because it allows us to effectively work the whole body in 30 minutes. With new movements and music every week, it is never bori...ng The infusion of yoga poses and philosophy adds a beautiful, holistic feel to each session Here is what our Yoga HIIT lover, Ali had to say about the class. Yoga HIIT is on twice per week: Virtual & Studio Yoga HIIT - Mondays @ 5.15pm Studio Yoga HIIT - Thursdays @ 9.15am $10 per session - 30 minutes If you have any questions about Yoga HIIT or any of the IMMY classes, please let me know Hope to see you on your mat soon #IMMY #ImogenesMovementMassageandYoga #yogagladstone #yogaforall #yogalove #yogahiit #virtualyoga #studioyoga

15.01.2022 Welcome to 2021 This is the time of year where the "need" or "expectation" to make resolutions bubble to the surface of seemingly every conversation. Unfortunately the basis of so many resolutions is the assumption that we are not good enough and reinforce the mistaken belief that your happiness depends on acquiring what you want.... Yoga offers us a refreshing alternative to the New Year’s resolution: the practice of sankalpa. A sankalpa practice starts from the radical premise that you already are who you need to be to fulfil your life’s dharma (all aspects of truth and reality). All you need to do is focus your mind, connect to your most heartfelt desires and channel the divine energy within. A sankalpa is a statement that does this for us. Kalpa means vow, or the rule to be followed above all other rules. San refers to a connection with the highest truth. Sankalpa, therefore, is a vow and commitment we make to support our highest truth. The sankalpa becomes a statement you can call upon to remind you of your true nature and guide your choices. While the typical New Year’s resolution is abandoned within weeks, if not days, as enthusiasm and willpower run out, a sankalpa requires none of the ego-driven willpower we typically summon to make changes. It’s natural to identify a desire as I want and an intention as I will or I won’t. But these phrases lack the truth of the commitment that comes from heartfelt desire and connection to one’s dharma. For this reason, your sankalpa should be stated in the present tense. For example, rather than saying, I want to be more compassionate, your sankalpa might be, Compassion is my true nature or I am compassion itself. Rather than setting the intention, I will not eat meat, your specific sankalpa might be, With compassion for my body and for other beings, I eat a vegetarian diet. Stating your sankalpa in present tense acknowledges the tremendous will, energy, and truth that arrive with the discovery of your heartfelt desire. It also reminds you that whatever is required of you is already within you. Namaste, Imogene PS - Looking forward to seeing you back on your mat from Monday 4 January 2021 Extracted from Yoga International #IMMY #ImogenesMovementMassageandYoga #yogagladstone #yogaforall #yogalove #virtualyoga #studioyoga #cometoyoga #everyone #pleaseshare #yogaflow #gentleflow #yogahiit #onyourmat #yogastudio #yogalove #yogapractice #yogacommunity #meditation #namaste #mysoulhonoursyoursoul #sankalpa #intentionsetting #bekind #gowithgrace #introducejoy

14.01.2022 It's always lovely to have Annabel in class - she is a master at the pregnancy yoga options Her insight into the link between mindfulness and parenting is one that I can personally relate to, as I'm sure many others can too I'm so honoured to know my classes can add something to people's lives that extend beyond the time we spend together on our mats ... If you need to "stop, pause and re-set", come along to an IMMY class soon - I would love to have you join us Head over to http://immyoga.com for our timetable Namaste, Imogene #IMMY #ImogenesMovementMassageandYoga #yogagladstone #yogaforall #yogalove #virtualyoga #studioyoga #onyourmat #postiveparenting #stop #pause #reset #parentsneedyoga

14.01.2022 Don't worry - I already know that you are just at yoga for the Savasana Savasana (shah-VAH-sah-nah) is the final stillness pose at the end of almost every yoga practice. This complete stillness in mind and body makes it both the easiest pose physically, and the most challenging pose mentally or emotionally for most people.... A lot happens in our bodies during Savasana - our musculo-skeletal and nervous systems integrate the practice we just finished; a time when the fight-flight-or-freeze states that typify the majority of our daily lives take a back seat and the rest-and-digest mechanisms in our parasympathetic nervous systems take the driver’s seat; a time when our digestive and immune systems function best; and a time when our minds become more calm and clear. But, as is true with all kinds of meditation, it’s almost impossible to not think. Our brains want to thinkit’s what they do! On the mental level, Savasana provides the opportunity to take a break from active thinking and be present in the moment with the sensations of the body: the rise and fall of our bellies as we breathe, the support of our mats beneath us. The challenge is to turn off active thinking and simply observe these sensations without letting yourself get caught up in the stories that might accompany them. You can come to yoga just for Savasana anytime!

13.01.2022 I remember when my mum got back into her daily yoga practice and my dad would just do his 'stretches' beside her because he didn't do 'yoga'. But it wasn't long until he realised that his 'stretches' looked very much like her 'yoga' plus she got to do that 'lying down bit' at the end which looked really nice and always put her in a good mood. My dad is now a yoga convert and is never shy to spread the yoga love. I once signed up my husband for a Long Slow Deep Yoga Class... - he didn't realise that it would go for 3 hours. He asked if there would be a break for snacks - there wasn't. But he went along and got some great benefits from the class. He now incorporates some of those poses he learnt into his regular post-ride stretch and roller sessions. Over my years of teaching yoga, I have seen many husbands just come along to class to support their wives and these men end up staying with their practice because they notice a massive difference in their own bodies and minds.

13.01.2022 In IMMY classes, you can be any sort of tree you want to be - strong and grounded with toes connected to the earth , a bit wobbly as you sway with the imaginary wind or maybe even a Christmas Tree There are so many options when you attend a yoga class because it is truly your practice Rest when you want, step up the intensity when you want, take a different pose when you want - the choices are endless. And you can see me as your guide who you can either follow or ...not So, if it's been a while since you have been on your mat, maybe it's time to shake it out and find your own version of Tree Pose Namaste, Imogene #IMMY #ImogenesMovementMassageandYoga #yogagladstone #yogaforall #yogalove #virtualyoga #studioyoga #cometoyoga #everyone #pleaseshare #yogaflow #gentleflow #yogahiit #onyourmat #yogastudio #yogalove #yogapractice #yogacommunity #meditation #namaste #mysoulhonoursyoursoul #treepose #chooseyourownadventure

13.01.2022 Just a reminder - No Virtual Yoga Flow this Saturday I am fortunate enough to be attending a Brene Brown "Rising Strong" Workshop this weekend, run by the incredible Jen from Relationship Bootcamp ... I look forward to sharing some insights from this workshop with you all afterwards Classes will be on as usual from Monday 17 August. Have a wonderful weekend and hope to see you on your mat soon

13.01.2022 Another "Weird Things Yoga Teachers Say" When I say "find space in your body", I'm referring to using your breath to make room within your body in preparation for movement I'm also encouraging you to feel comfortable with the space that your body naturally takes up. Sometimes we can try to make ourselves feel physically small by curving our spines, rolling our shoulders forward and lowering our chin to our chest. This can start, quite unconsciously, in adolescence an...d become a habit we carry into adulthood. By finding space, we allow ourselves to breath fully, to lengthen where we need to and to consciously be grateful for our bodies, therefore getting the most out of our practice If you are keen to find some space, please join me for a class soon Namaste, Imogene #IMMY #ImogenesMovementMassageandYoga #yogagladstone #yogaforall #yogalove #virtualyoga #studioyoga #cometoyoga #everyone #pleaseshare #yogaflow #gentleflow #yogahiit #onyourmat #yogastudio #yogalove #yogapractice #yogacommunity #meditation #namaste #mysoulhonoursyoursoul #findspaceinyourbody #weirdthingsyogateacherssay

12.01.2022 If I could have a dollar for every time someone tells me this, I would not just be rich with blessings Let me say this very clearly - You Do Not Have To Be Flexible To Do Yoga ... You actually do not have to be any particular shape or age or gender or fitness to do yoga.

11.01.2022 This is a weird little farewell thing I started doing somewhere along my virtual teaching journey and now I seem to do it at the end of most of my at-home virtual classes.

08.01.2022 There are times when I go to say something in class, normally trying for a meaningful metaphor or a description of how a pose might feel, and at the very same moment that the words are coming out of my mouth, a part of my brain is saying "Don't say that!!" But, of course, it is too late and the words have travelled from my mouth and into your ears and there is nothing to be done Anyone who was in the "bowling ball of wisdom" class will not forget it (nor will they ever ...let me forget it) I am yet to have a snowman in one of my classes, but if I ever did and I told him to "melt into his mat", I can imagine the look of horror on this instructor's face as she saw the look of horror on his Have a wonderful Friday PS - Did you know that when two things are melting together, they are not actually "melting" but are "melding"?? I did not know this until last week #sorryfrosty #meltintoyourmat #fullofuselessbutinterestinginfo #IMMY #ImogenesMovementMassageandYoga #yogagladstone #yogaforall #yogalove #virtualyoga #studioyoga

08.01.2022 I first met Graham almost 12 months ago when he came along to a Beginners Class. He rocked up in denim shorts and with absolutely no idea what to expect. Since then, he has attended my Gentle Flow class, almost religiously, even getting his daughter to help him to log in virtually during isolation His flexibility and strength have both noticeably improved and there is nothing better than seeing the smile of satisfaction on his face at the end of each class ... I am so proud of Graham's commitment to his practice and his willingness give new things a try. Now he rocks up to class with his new mat, his own bolster but still in his denim shorts, which I think is awesome If you are new to yoga and a little apprehensive about coming along to a class, be like Graham and just give it a go - you might just find a new highlight of your week #IMMY #ImogenesMovementMassageandYoga #yogagladstone #yogaforall #yogalove #virtualyoga #studioyoga

07.01.2022 "Kindness can transform someone's dark moment with a blaze of light. You'll never know how much your caring matters. Make a difference for another today." Amy Leigh Mercree Yoga is so much more than making shapes with our bodies - it challenges us to examine how we treat ourselves as well as how we treat others ... Kindness costs us nothing but can make such a difference. Start with being kind to yourself and watch how easy it becomes to be the good you wish to see in the world Hope to see you on your mat soon, Namaste, Imogene #IMMY #ImogenesMovementMassageandYoga #yogagladstone #yogaforall #yogalove #virtualyoga #studioyoga #onyourmat #kindnessmatters #bethegood #starttoday

06.01.2022 After Yoga Glow

06.01.2022 "Make a conscious effort to surround yourself with positive, nourishing and uplifting people - people who believe in you, encourage you to go after your dreams and applaud your victories." Jack Caulfield Just like our bodies perform best on nutritious food, our mind performs best when we have supportive people in our lives. We are wired for connection but sometimes we have to ask ourselves "Who am I connecting with? Do they feed my soul in a way that serves me well?" In ...the same way that yoga has no right or wrong way to feel in a pose, there are no good or bad people to be around. It can, however, be interesting to take some time to observe your feelings and reactions when you are with different people. Are they nourishing, uplifting and encouraging? One of my aims when starting IMMY was to create a positive atmosphere where people felt welcome, accepted and cared for. I know that I'm not the ideal yoga teacher for everyone (and that's ok) but I do want everyone who takes an IMMY class to feel seen, heard and respected. Feel the Joy of Connection and come along to a class soon Namaste, Imogene #IMMY #ImogenesMovementMassageandYoga #yogagladstone #yogaforall #yogalove #virtualyoga #studioyoga

06.01.2022 This has only happened to me once (thank goodness ) - the dress code for my yoga classes is pretty relaxed ... but not this relaxed I love how mindful the IMMY crew are of their fellow yogis when coming into the studio, setting up and settling in. I also love how respectful you all are of each other; giving people the space they sometimes need but also providing support in times of need Thank you for your kindness, consideration and continuing care (as well as for wea...ring pants ).

04.01.2022 Hands up if you find letting go hard work. Yep, I'm feeling you! For many people I talk to about giving yoga a go, it's the 'slowness' they struggle with. Of course, it is the times of 'slowness' where the magic of yoga happens Child's Pose (Balasana) is a fantastic place for the slowness-strugglers to start. This is a wonderfully grounding shape for your body and, with the variation of the Reverse Prayer hands, allows you to almost block out the outside world and jus...t take a few moments for yourself This pose gently stretches the hips, thighs and ankles. It calms the brain and helps relieve stress and fatigue. Child's Pose also relieves back and neck pain I always encourage people in my classes to take a Child's Pose anytime they need to - I'm also starting a petition to make taking a Child's Pose socially acceptable in supermarkets Namaste, Imogene #letitgo #release #IMMY #ImogenesMovementMassageandYoga #yogagladstone #yogaforall #yogalove #virtualyoga #studioyoga #childspose #anytime #anywhere

04.01.2022 Tell Us More - Gentle Flow Discover how your breath can help you to ease your mind and steady your body Personalised for each class, we will find poses that work for you together ...

03.01.2022 This is my view when I'm in a Virtual Class I am very fortunate that my wonderful husband had converted this space into his cycling training studio back in February. When the lockdown happened, our previous rumpus room, very conveniently, became the perfect set up for a Virtual Yoga Studio So technically it's a yoga-themed cycling studio, not a cycling-themed yoga studio ... But for the record, this room has seen a lot more yoga than cycling over the last 9 months This space allowed me to deliver professional yet connected yoga classes when times were really tough. It also helped to keep me grounded and grateful. This space now allows me to offer my classes at times that are convenient for my yogis without any inconvenience to my family life - such a win/win situation I love that I can see everyone in my class clearly from my mat, the natural lightness and special feel of the space ... as well as the air-conditioning Share a photo of your at-home yoga space and tell me why you love it #IMMY #ImogenesMovementMassageandYoga #yogagladstone #yogaforall #yogalove #virtualyoga #studioyoga #cometoyoga #everyone #pleaseshare #yogaflow #gentleflow #yogahiit #onyourmat #yogastudio #yogalove #yogapractice #yogacommunity #meditation #namaste #mysoulhonoursyoursoul #myyogaspace #cleverhusband #itslikeweknew

03.01.2022 Yay yay yay We will have an awesome exhibition to look at during our practice for the next few weeks Cant wait to see it Art, photography & yoga - how very cultured we are

02.01.2022 Last night was the final IMMY class for 2020 In a year for of mixed emotions like nothing any of us have experienced before, it has definitely been an interesting one to start my own business From sourcing scheduling system to developing a whole new style of teaching - one where no one is physically in the room with you ... From exploring the power of social media to keeping on top of my bookkeeping From connecting to my wonderful regular yogis to welcoming fantastically brave people to their first IMMY experience - it's been a big year for this girl with a little dream In one of my first Virtual Classes, I read this poem because it resonated so deeply with me at the time and continues to every day - Sometimes the greatest miracle is being able to face exactly where you're at and say this is where I am, no running, no hiding. There's gold for me here and I intend to find it no matter what. Thank you so much for your support; for coming along to virtual classes during lockdown, for reconnecting with your practice after the easing of restrictions, for smiling with me, for laughing with me, for allowing yourself to be vulnerable and feel the joy of connection Classes will start back on Monday 4 January and I'm excited to see what 2021 brings Namaste, Imogene Drawing credit - marycatherinestarr.com #IMMY #ImogenesMovementMassageandYoga #yogagladstone #yogaforall #yogalove #virtualyoga #studioyoga #cometoyoga #everyone #pleaseshare #yogaflow #gentleflow #yogahiit #onyourmat #yogastudio #yogalove #yogapractice #yogacommunity #meditation #namaste #mysoulhonoursyoursoul #thankyou #deepgratitude

02.01.2022 This is a momental day - the day I change from my first Canvast to my next Canvast This black book helps me to be the organised person you all might think I am Canvast is the awesome dateless yearly planner that allows you the flexibility to make it work for you. It is also filled with awesome motivating quotes that make me smile and feel empowered ... I was gifted my first Canvast by my beautiful friend Yiota and I was so scared to "wreck" it, that I didn't use it for 3 months Now I don't care what coloured pen I'm using, what pages I'm jotting my ideas down on or if my writing is looks like chicken scratchings, it's just so freeing to have everything out of my head and down on paper And something extra cool about Canvast is that it is an Australian lady startup and you can buy them from Milestones Physiotherapy on Auckland Street This is completely unpaid recommendation - I just love my Canvast #IMMY #ImogenesMovementMassageandYoga #yogagladstone #yogaforall #yogalove #virtualyoga #studioyoga #cometoyoga #everyone #pleaseshare #yogaflow #gentleflow #yogahiit #onyourmat #yogastudio #yogalove #yogapractice #yogacommunity #meditation #namaste #mysoulhonoursyoursoul #canvast #milestonesphysiotherapy #ladystartuplove
