Welcome to Light Yoga Space

Hello! I'm Janice Kate, founder of Light Yoga Space - a body positive yoga school streaming sessions from the UK (GMT/BST timezone). My passion is working with people who feel like a square peg trying to fit into a round hole in conventional yoga classes. Whether it’s through social media or the ‘wellness industry’ We are exposed to endless images of young, slim, conventionally ‘attractive’ able bodied white women displaying and performing yoga poses, leading the rest of us to conclude that "yoga definitely isn't for us" - I'm here to suggest that the exact opposite is true! I'm building a collective of weird and wonderful folks who dare to be different. Every session I offer is with an effort to create an accessible friendly warm welcoming community practice, where with the mind expanding tools of yoga we can authentically reconnect with ourselves and each other.

What’s on offer:

Inclusive live courses (both online and in St. Leonard's on Sea, Hastings)
A library of 200+ recorded sessions
Flexible membership packages
One-to-one coaching and mentoring tailored to your specific needs and challenges
Supportive body doubling for daily self-practice accountability and motivation
Breathing, relaxation and meditation practices designed for diverse nervous systems

All in-person sessions currently take place in St. Leonard's on Sea, Hastings, East Sussex, UK. Most sessions are also streamed online so you can join from anywhere!

**-week courses**

**Yoga for connection - Monday evenings 7:30 p.m.**
Based closely on Classical Hatha Yoga these friendly welcoming courses will focus on a different aspect of yoga each week. I will cater to the people in the room in every moment, so bring yourself along and each level of need and experience will be honoured with a flexible pace for our diverse nervous systems. Max 8 people online. Everyone and anyone drawn to this community practice is welcome. This course will run in 5 week blocks on a rolling term time basis.
**Yoga for rest and recovery - Wednesday mornings 9:30 a.m.**
These courses will be similar to the yoga for connection courses, but with a slightly stronger focus on a restorative pace. Movement and stretch will be combined with supported recovery poses, and we will much more loosely navigate the classical Hatha sequence. Bring your bolsters, cushions and blankets for a deep dive into rest and relaxation. Max 8 people online. This course will run in or 5 week blocks on a rolling term time basis.

**One-to-One Yoga and Mentoring**
online or in-person in St Leonard’s on Sea

A regular and committed Yoga practice, taught properly, can spark new self awareness, leading to personal growth and the capacity to face necessary life changes. With one-to-one yoga taught by a compassionate guide, witness and mentor, yoga can be a profound catalyst for somatic release and recovery. We can explore together on a cellular level, the challenges that are blocking you from moving forward, growing and changing in your practice and beyond the mat in life.

One-to-One and Mentoring

**The Online Ashram Style Self Practice Sadana Space - every evening from 7:00 p.m.**

**- How hard is it to get to your yoga mat?**
**- Could body doubling and community help**
**- Do you have enough confidence to lead your own daily practice yet can’t find the mojo to make it to the mat?**
Even after years of practising and teaching yoga, the struggle to get to the mat on my own is real! So I have set up this gentle community drop-in online Ashram style Sadana space. Camera on or off it is up to you, arrive any time, leave any time it is your practice. But know you are not alone.
This is a gentle, rehabilitative space for people with chronic pain, chronic conditions, fatigue, neurodivergence, fat bodies, queer bodies, diverse bodies, diverse ethnicities, who are looking for a safe, mirroring space to explore your own way forward at a pace that is yours and with zero pressure to perform

Frida the Hungarian Puli, Asher (Bubba Boy) the rescue cat, and Teddy & Willow the rescue giant buns.

Introducing my littluns Frida, Asher, Teddy and Willow. So for me animals are incredibly healing. They help keep me grounded, as well as being amazing gentle uncomplicated funny and affectionate company. They are soft and tactile, and they teach me an inordinate amount about body awareness, boundaries, saying no, being present, being connected and living in the moment. They also help me to access all sorts of happy hormones including dopamine, serotonin and oxytocin. In-person mentoring and one-to-one sessions at my home include the company of these wonderful beings bopping about simply being themselves as part of the package
