Understanding your nervous system - with breathwork facilitator Imogen Sist Jul 21, 2026

Show notes

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.

WWYD: my cellulite makes me self-conscious to wear a bikini Jul 07, 2026

Show notes

Hiiii! It’s time for another WWYD episode! This week your questions are both food and body-image related.

QUESTION #1: I'm healthy and fit, but I’ve had cellulite on the back of my legs for as long as I can remember. I’m headed on a beach holiday and I’m feeling self-conscious about it. I really want to enjoy my body in a bikini, but it makes me anxious. How would you navigate this?

QUESTION #2: My coworkers frequently make comments about what I’m eating or how my body looks. I’ve tried telling them it makes me uncomfortable but the comments and questions still continue. How would you approach this in a respectful but firm way?

SEND US YOUR QUESTIONS

If you have a question you want our opinion on, please slide into our DMs on Instagram! We’re @kicpod. If you’re not on Instagram, you can email us at kicpod@kicwellness.com.

All questions will be anonymous <3
