She completed the British Wheel of Yoga accredited and NHS-recognised 5-year True Yoga yoga therapy course with Colin Dunsmuir.

Yoga Therapy
Yoga therapy is tailored specifically to your unique health history, goals, and needs. It uses the tools of yoga – such as movement, breathwork, meditation, and lifestyle guidance – to support physical, mental, and emotional health. Unlike general yoga classes, it is tailored to the individual and often offered one-to-one, making it suitable for a wide range of health conditions or life challenges. Rooted in the tradition of T. Krishnamacharya and T.K.V. Desikachar, yoga therapy adapts ancient practices to meet modern needs with care and precision. Yoga therapy may support you with:
Stress and anxiety
Chronic pain
Injury recovery
Respiratory or digestive issues
Emotional regulation
Postural imbalances
Sessions with Imogen are collaborative, supportive, and bespoke. Here’s what you can typically expect:
Initial Consultation: A detailed conversation to understand your personal history, goals, and any physical or emotional challenges.
Tailored Practice: Imogen will design a practice just for you, this may include simple movement, breathing techniques, guided meditation, and sometimes lifestyle suggestions to support your overall health.
Ongoing Support: Practices are adapted over time based on your progress and changing needs. You’ll be encouraged to explore yoga as a daily, therapeutic tool, not just something done on the mat.
Whether you’re seeking relief from physical discomfort, emotional stress, or simply wish to deepen your connection to yourself, Imogen offers a gentle, informed, and empowering path forward.
