IMA Intentional Movement Academy

I have never felt as comfortable as I do with the IMA team. I have trained in many different schools and can therefore say that the quality and humanity is nowhere higher than with them. I discovered my love of contortion with Sherry and came to the IMA. She was able to inspire me straight away and continues to do so. I also met Marie, Rosa Lisa, Nicole and Olena there. I spent a long time looking for an aerial instructor who would not only tell me what it should look like, but who could also explain technically what I needed to do. Olena explains everything in great detail. Just like Rosa Lisa in her handstand course, where she analyzes exactly where your weak points are and then gives you the right exercises. Nicole has unbelievably impressive knowledge, which she can of course share incredibly well so that you can feel confident. I often block myself. The positive encouragement and the feeling of safety that they give everyone can grow beyond themselves. I can't think of a better place to do that.

I have been doing contortion since 2020 and it has become my favorite thing to do. I can't imagine my life without your team 🙂 I started just before the pandemic and trained online through all the lockdowns. Hard to believe, but even with the online classes with Marie, I got great results. Since then I have been training regularly with Marie, Rosa and Nicole. The classes are always fun and challenging. I have learned so many tricks that I thought were impossible before. I am looking forward to continue training with my favorite instructors.

My favorite place to work out! All classes are tailored to each participant, regardless of their level. There is a lot of attention to detail, but also to building strength to avoid injury. Quick and effective improvements are guaranteed. Especially for intermediate to advanced training, in Berlin the only place!

Even coming from a dance background with long years of training, I learned at IMA so MUCH about flexibility work. I have been training here since 3 years and gained so much knowledge and made huge progress! Can just recommend IMA to anyone who wants to learn and train in a safe, welcoming atmosphere with lots of personal feedback!

The contortion training here is very good. I feel comfortable, well looked after and supported by all the trainers. Each trainer has their own individual approach and you learn a lot as a result. I particularly like Nicole's lessons. She is gentle and demanding, but not too much. This is ideal for my body during training. The quality is really very good and there are lots of individual corrections. No mass processing.

I am so happy about this studio! Very professional lessons in small groups. Individual attention is given to each participant, and you make nice progress. Warm and friendly atmosphere. Thank you very much!

Have so far Contortion Beginner and Aerial Hoop visited as a drop-in and felt super comfortable! In the groups there is a great atmosphere, the trainers are super qualified & motivated, give 100% and respond individually to each participant, absolutely recommendable!

The courses, the trainers, the groups....everything just fits! Depending on the level, attention is paid to the possibilities and knowledge of a participant, there is not the one exercise, but the exercise in several variations...this helps the motivation and thus the rapid successes, whether on the floor, in the air or on the bar ! I am thrilled how much I have learned in the last year and that even at over 30 there is no stopping....

The best place to train flexibility safely and efficiently. All trainers pay very good attention to correct posture - even during online classes - for the best results and safety. I can only recommend!

Both the contortion and handstand classes with Rosa are wonderful. You can feel her passion and competence. I feel well taken care of, motivated and it's just fun!

Amazing people, magical atmosphere. I thought I’ll be able to do nothing but I left proud of myself. Highly recommended studio and Ariel hoop activity <333333
