Welcome to IMMY -
Imogene's Movement, Massage & Yoga
A little dream of a girl who just knows the world is a better place when you move your body, relax your mind and take a few deep breaths!
IMMY is not about creating the perfect body or life - it's about creating healthy habits so that you can get the best out of your life!
My classes are authentic, non-filtered and taught from the heart, leading to genuine connections to those who choose to attend.
Each of my classes are also individualised for the people in that class, ensuring that everyone gets the most out of their experience.
IMMY welcomes everyone with any level of experience - from the absolute beginner to the regular yogi. It is so important to me to breakdown the stigma surrounding movement – that it is only for those who know how to do it already – and instead make it accessible to everyone who wants it.
“Yoga offers a level of connection that is rarely found now in society. To encourage and be a witness to someone surrendering and trusting themselves is a precious gift.”
Imogene – Owner of IMMY
I am absolutely no Yoga Guru but I have seen how yoga and movement has shaped people’s lives for the better.
My hope is to use IMMY to share this throughout our community.
Life and yoga don’t always have to be serious. Sometimes the burden of trying to be perfect, having control or constantly striving to do better can cross over from our everyday lives into our yoga practice. A smile or a giggle can help to put everything back into perspective. In turn, I hope that my students can take some of that light-heartedness back into their lives and know that, no matter what, they always are enough.
Movement, Massage & Yoga - all delivered with an intention of kindness and connection.
Hi, I’m Imogene
and
I’m a JOY addict!
I love to help people find joy in movement, stillness and connection.
With over 13 years and over 4,000 classes of instructing experience, I'm passionate about encouraging people to effectively use their bodies and mindfully tune into their thoughts. I believe that there is an art to teaching and sharing movement – it requires vulnerability from everyone involved: students and instructor.
I’m a wife to an amazing man, Mick whose support is truly incredible. I’m also lucky enough to be the perfect mother to 2 perfectly-behaved little children, Matilda and Yosseph – I wish, Jellyfish!! Nah, they are both pretty awesome though!
IMMY doesn’t just stand for Imogene’s Movement, Massage & Yoga but also Imogene, Michael, Matilda, Yosseph - makes me smile every time :)
I’m a born and bred Gladstone-ite – I have some serious Gladstone cred! We have moved away, lived overseas but this wonderful city drew us back in and we are happy to call Gladstone home.
My work history is varied, to say the least - a video store (remember those places), a corporate travel agency, a printing shop, 2 different accounting firms as well as being a group fitness and aqua aerobics instructor.
“Taking time for yoga; to breathe, stretch, relax and unwind should not be treated as a luxury, it needs to be a priority.”
