It feels like the countdown is officially on!

There’s only 5 and a half weeks left before I go on maternity leave which is wild. I’m planning 🤞🏻 to teach until the middle of August, all being well, and it would be so wonderful to share space with you over the next few weeks before I take a break for a while.

I know it’s the time of year that people are busy, on holiday, or just out enjoying the sunshine, but if you’d like to practice with me a few more times before my fab team take over, I’d absolutely love to see you 💕

I’m still running my usual class schedule, see below, and you can book your space at hbystudio.com or via the link in my bio. There’s just enough time to get one more 5 class pass in before I finish! 😝

Hope to see you on the mat soon ✨

Happy summer solstice and international yoga day!
It’s always a beautiful day with gorgeous energy and we couldn’t have asked for it to be more perfect with this glorious sunshine ☀️

I’m not going to pretend I spent my day fully connected or doing solstice rituals, it’s been a busy day of working instead, but I hope to find some time tomorrow to ground and connect if only for a few moments.

What I will say is that I’m so grateful to the practice of yoga. It has helped to shape me into the person that I am today, many times over it’s saved me, it’s healed me, and it’s given me the space to know my true self. And now it’s helping me to navigate this wild but wonderful journey to motherhood 💕

Thank you to each and everyone of you that let me share this practice with you, it’s always an honour ✨

So… part two!

‘Listen to your body’ and ‘be kind to yourself’ are phrases that can be thrown about a lot, especially in yoga, but often not explained in detail or given reasoning behind the choice of words. (I have 100% done this myself!)
I think a lot of people instantly associate these with going easy on themselves or simply putting in less effort. Sometimes this is exactly what we need, see previous post, but I think we often forget that we might be craving something else.

What if listening to your bodies needs can also mean pushing yourself to move deeper, work harder, run faster because being kind to yourself is strengthening your body.
What if it’s getting up off the sofa and moving because you’ve spent too long in the same position.
Maybe it’s choosing the nutrient dense meal because your body needs nourishment.
Or switching up your work space or going for a walk on your lunch break rather than sitting down.
What if it’s any form of movement that makes you sweat and gives you that endorphin rush.
Perhaps it’s reading a book over another tv series.
Or spending time with friends or loved ones to connect and share.
What if it’s learning something new!

It doesn’t have to be high intensity and it’s certainly not to fit into the picture perfect image we see over and over on social media, but because our bodies crave being strong and healthy! Our minds want to learn and be challenged. We have the capacity to do so much, and be so much more than just the label on our heads, but sometimes WE are what’s getting in our own way! WE are our own worst enemy!

These things are just as important, maybe more important, than the slowing down. Because it’s not always about stopping, it’s just about switching up the routine! Making the most of those moments you’re not working or food shopping.
It’s about finding joy in diversity and nourishment for your mind, body and soul.

**Read that last sentence again!!**

So next time you take a moment to listen to your body, when you might be feeling tired and run down, be sure to consider all your options. Yes, you might want - and need - to simply do nothing. Or maybe it’s that you need to do one of the above 💕

I’ve been loving intertwining the philosophy of the ‘Yamas’ - the first of Patanjali’s 8 limbs of yoga - into our practice over the last couple of weeks, and continuing to do so for a few more.

So far we’ve looked at Ahimsa and Satya, non violence and truthfulness, and next week we move onto Asteya - non-stealing. We’ve talked about how to take these teachings off the mat, but within our class practice we’ve mainly focused on how to apply these to ourselves. Being kind to ourselves with our thoughts and our actions, being honest with the most appropriate intention for our practice in each moment, and next week how not to steal, or deplete, our own energy.

All of these asking us to really listen in to ourselves and take guidance from within.

I’m a huge believer in this. I think we live in a world that is constantly asking for more, more, more! So in many areas we’re pushing ourselves to the edge and if we don’t stop and listen to ourselves we might just push ourselves over that edge.

Listening in is a way to be more in tune with yourself and the more you take time to acknowledge what’s going on, the more in tune you will become. I believe that if we take enough notice, our body will guide us to what it needs.

So let’s talk about ‘listening to your body’.

To me these words are important through every single part of my day. Checking in and listening to what feels good and what doesn’t.

There are times that we need to give in to the call to rest. To not push through because it’ll just make us feel worse and pushed beyond our limits.

However ‘listening to your body’ is about REALLY listening. Knowing that sometimes, and possibly more often than you think, it’s about so much more than just slowing down. It’s taking note of the things that make you feel good mentally and physically, that make you feel alive, that make you thrive!

There are so many ways that we can respond when we take time to listen to our body. Yes it might well be taking a bubble bath or enjoying that piece of chocolate cake in front of a Netflix series! But sometimes it can be something more or even the opposite of that, and I’ll be sharing that in my next post! ✨

It feels like it’s time to reintroduce myself here and breathe a little life back into this account!

So, hello 👋🏻

I’m Hannah, the face behind Hannah Bimpson Yoga and HBY Studio 💕

I’ve been teaching yoga for 8 wonderful years and just over 18 months ago opened my little studio in the heart of Lymington. I absolutely adore my job but I won’t pretend that it isn’t a juggle of highs and lows navigating self employment, running a business, and all that comes with it.

Over the last few years life has definitely thrown up some huge challenges, and I’ve found it hard to know how to show up and connect on social media since my cancer diagnosis in 2022. Which is scary to say because I instantly assume it’ll be judged as a “poor me” story, even though it’s the truth. However I’m feeling called to show up in a more authentic, honest and vulnerable way, so here we are.

This account has always been a random mixture of my work and personal life, and that will continue! But it’s time for me to stop worrying so much about what other people think and simply be here as myself. The messy and imperfect person that I am 💕

I don’t really know how I fit into the online world but I guess we’ll find out! So stayed tuned for more and thank you for being part of my journey ✨

Looking forward to hosting another yogic relaxation on the 29th May, two weeks tomorrow!

These sessions are an amazing way to soothe the nervous system and slow down from our busy lives. Slowing down doesn’t always come easy but it’s so important to ensure you keep your system regulated to help you take on all that life throws your way 💕

I’d love you to join me and you can book your space via the link in my bio or simply send me a message for the direct link. Hope to see you there ✨

✨ The Soul Retreat ✨

This is one I cannot wait to share! My one and only day retreat this year, before the little one arrives, and it is simply all my favourite things rolled into one day 💕

For me, yoga has always been a way to connect to the deeper part of myself whilst living in a world that can often feel overwhelming and critical.
This retreat day is a chance to fully reconnect and return home to who you truly are. We will move through yoga asana to free the energy, work with meditation and journalling to enquire within, shake out what we’ve been holding onto for too long, and nourish ourselves with soul connections. We will also be joined by the lovely Wellbeing with Kim who is going to share her magical crystal bowls to help soothe the nervous system and calm the chatter of the mind, a chance to release the thoughts that don’t serve us.

The day will close with cacao and final moments of connection 💫

The perfect day to take time for yourself and honour your needs, I would absolutely love you to join me.

📍 Boldre War Memorial Hall
🗓️ Sunday 29th June 10:30am-4:30pm
🎟️ £90pp - lunch, snacks and drinks provided

Puglia you were beautiful and a glorious first taste of Italy, I will definitely be back to explore more! What a gorgeous week away and possibly the last just the two of us 💕

This Thursday it’s time to look after yourself ✨

Join me for a deeply relaxing evening working with meditation, breathwork and yoga nidra, to guide you into soothing rest for your body, mind, and nervous system.

It’s the perfect time to engage in a practice like this as we start to see a hint of spring in the air. It will help to restore your energy as we begin to leave behind our wintery hibernation and step forward into the new energy that’s on its way 💕

You can book in via the link in my bio or drop me a message if you have any questions.
I look forward to seeing you there 💫

Feeing incredibly lucky to have had two amazing trips away in the last few weeks 💕

Exploring a little of South Africa (cramming as much into a week as possible) to see my gorgeous friend get married and then finding some winter sun in Spain to celebrate mums big birthday! 🥳

I’m immensely grateful for my wonderful team .studio for keeping things running whilst I’ve been away, I still find it a pinch me moment that it’s even possible! ✨

It’s been an unbelievably tough year this year outside of my yoga world and that was a big part of why we said ‘f**k it’ 😂 and decided to somehow make it work to do these trips. Life is far too short and you never know what’s around the corner. This year has certainly been a lesson in that.

Memories and experiences are far more important to me and I’m hugely thankful that I’ve been able to end the year with some wonderful ones ✨

The perfect evening to soothe your system this winter solstice ✨

A dreamy two hours to completely relax your body, mind and soul. Join me and Claire for meditation, pranayama and tension release, followed by some deeply relaxing restorative yoga - think multiple props and cosy blankets - and end with a meditation, journalling and soothing herbal tea.
A wonderful way to honour the shortest day and the reminder to rest and look after yourself.

We just have 3 spaces left for this intimate workshop, if you want to join you can secure your space using the link in bio 💕

A few days ago I was really struggling with self doubt. The voice that tells me I’m not good enough, not hard working enough, simply not enough, got much much louder and it became pretty impossible not to listen to.
But talking with friends, loved ones, and even people I’d never met before, reminded me that we all feel it time and time again. No matter how confident or successful people seem, self doubt hits and the battle with it is still there.

So I decided to give myself the advice I would give to someone else and actually take a moment to be proud of all I’ve achieved and all that I am. A reminder that I am good enough and not to forget that amongst the noise of everything else life throws at me.

To stop feeling the need to be more like someone else and just be me. Because I’m a completely unique being, just as you are, and that’s what makes us magical.

So sending you love if you needed the reminder today too 💕
Be you, because everyone else is taken!

And here’s a random collection of photos that remind me I’m doing ok just as I am! 😂

For your physical, mental and spiritual journey

I'm Hannah Bimpson, a yoga and dance teacher based in Lymington. I hold a National Diploma in Professional Musical Theatre from Bird College and Yoga Alliance Registered 200hr Hatha Yoga Teacher qualification from AyurYoga Eco-Ashram India. For me Yoga and Dance is a way of life. Both different in their own way, each has given me tools, confidence and more clarity in myself than I ever thought possible.

I want to be able to help people feel happy and healthy, in both the physical and mental. I encourage people of all ages and abilities to try something new, whether that's starting something from scratch, a new style of class or a new teacher. We can learn so much from each other if we open our hearts, drop our judgement, breathe and stay present.

It’s a very special thing to be able to watch and help people grow, not only with their practice but also within themselves.

You can choose from a one-to-one, private group, or class settings in yoga, as well as dance fitness classes (Burlexercise), and children's freestyle dance classes and birthday parties. For any queries or to book classes please contact through the page or email at hannah@bimpson.com.
