Freediving makes meeting the blue world more fun 💙 by @jem.imah

Sunday Swing ☺️

Being a poser under water is harder than depth diving. My 'brain is working' on trying to feel my body awkwardly move in directions and shapes in liquid space! Hella fun to explore but my breath is capped out quick, not from exhaustion but more so from the mental juggle or thinking of how to!

Our brain eats oxygen up like a feen when the brain has a job...like thinking and doing.
Freediving is the skill and practice of not making the brain DO WORK. Freediving encourages the body to be at optimal ease so the mind can be at ease, give the brain a holiday from thinking and doing 💙 Allow yourself to Be by @jem.imah

What if you’re capable of more than you think?

That’s something Jem @jem.imah has been exploring with our Community Yoga crew. Not pushing through. Not forcing yourself into shapes. Not comparing yourself to anyone else.
Just that quiet moment of discovering, “Oh... I can do this.”

And then maybe discovering you can rest too. 💛

Jem will be continuing to teach Community Yoga for Term 4, with more breathwork, movement patterns and opportunities to build your capacity.

The classes might challenge you sometimes. They might surprise you. And they might remind you that your practice doesn’t have to look a certain way to be worthwhile.

Come exactly as you are. Take the rest when you need it. See what happens when you give something a go.

Term 4 starts next Thursday, October 15.
 📍 Mount Compass Hall 🗓️ Thursdays, 7:00-8:00pm

Bookings are open via the link in bio. 🙂 by @jem.imah

Doing some reflection on how I got here. My overall understanding is... I just showed up.

I seriously thought my last attempt was 29 metres. I posted about it 😁 I genuinely thought that I didn't have anymore in me, I'm not even training to compete, I've spent plenty of time in the water already and this is just for funzies. I was 'satisfied' with my efforts and that was enough for my mind and body. But I had one lesson left and thought, let me just make 29m feel effortless... to my surprise I had 31 metres in me, comfortably.

"Showing up is a muscle too.

*showing up for your workout, your yoga practice, meditation, whatever else.

Not literally. But like a muscle, we can train ourselves to show up -- not perfectly, not for a PB, not for the best workout ever -- but just to BE THERE, even when everything around us is making that difficult.

And it's the showing up that gets you results. Not planning to show up. Not telling people you're going to show up. But actually showing up even when you feel like garbage" -Adell Bridges-

Thanks for all your coaching, support and an understanding on how my mind works, sly adds of a metre without me knowing works ☺️. Thank you Gio

Height is waaaaayyyy more scarier than water depth. Maybe I was a 🐠 in another life time and definitely not a 🐦 by @jem.imah

Well, free fall is scary fun. I've felt it a smidge before but not as much as today. A new personal best and still a few more days of diving. I was trying to post yesterday's pb but today just amped it up a couple more metres. At 29 metres now....I do wonder where I'll end up?

Thanks for all the extra teachings and joy Gio! You've been a magnificent teacher to get me here 🥰 by @jem.imah

SPRING IS HERE 🌻

and it’s the perfect time to shake off the winter heaviness, come out of hibernation and flow back into your body 💛

I’ve just opened up 10-class yoga passes for anyone wanting a little extra consistency and ease with booking. A pass you can share with someone, maybe to help with accountability if needed.

Come as you are, breathe, move, and enjoy the freshness of the season 🌿

If you’d like one, just reach out to me directly for payment details.

x Jem
