We are so excited to introduce our Head of Training at KICStudio, Imogen Sist!
Imogen has been on her own journey with breathwork and somatic movement for many years. When Imogen experienced the power of this practice and how it impacted her own physical & mental health, she started to introduce it into her work as a physiotherapist, and continued to see profound impacts in the patients she worked with.
And now Imogen is sharing all of this knowledge and experience with us at KICStudio <3
In this episode Imogen shares how she came to somatic movement, what somatic movement actually IS, the power of breathwork, and how somatics are incorporated into each class at KICStudio.

Bang ya belly, live ya life!!! Katma is a NZ-based content creator. We absolutely LOVE the content she posts about body confidence and have been wanting to have her on the podcast FOREVER so we were so excited to finally make it happen.
Katma joined Laura to chat about her relationship with her body growing up, dieting from a young age, how she has built the confidence she has in herself, the rise of #skinnytok and the pressure to make ourselves smaller, and lots more.
We loved this chat and we hope you do too.
