One-to-One Yoga and Mentoring
A regular and committed Yoga practice, with the focus on sekf reflection and connection, can spark incredible new levels of self awareness, leading to personal growth and an enhanced capacity to process life’s challenges.
With one-to-one yoga led by a compassionate guide, witness and mentor, yoga can be a profound catalyst for somatic release and recovery mentally and physically. We can explore together on a cellular level, the challenges that may be blocking you from moving forward, growing and changing in your practice and beyond the mat in life.
In mentoring sessions I offer a combination of talking with yoga techniques. The animals can also be a significant element of the sessions if you would like that although they don’t have to be..

Online Body Doubling Self Practice
Is it hard to get to your yoga mat?
Do you wish you could practice yoga more often but find that there us a gap between wishing and being able to follow through?
Might showing up to practice yoga online with a small cohort of other people with the same goal help?
Traditionally in India the Ashram evolved partly because spiritual dedication to practice is for most people very hard to maintain alone, the ashram became a place where the central goal was yoga practice (sadana/साधना), introspection, Self-knowledge, meditation, reducing the distractions to this profoundly important work and providing fellowship all intent on the same journey.
From personal experience I have found after years of practising and teaching yoga, that the struggle to get to the mat by my own will alone is far from straight forward! My latest tactic is to set up my own daily practice and invite the Light Yoga Space community along to join me. Thus evolved these gentle community drop-in online Ashram style body doubling Sadana sessions which I have now been running since January 2025 and it’s working…

A bit more about stuff
About Janice Kate
All classes are led by me Janice Kate. I am a trained classical Hatha yoga teacher with almost a quarter of a centuries worth of yoga teaching experience. As my own practice has evolved over time so has my teaching focus. My special interest is in gentle away from performative, competitive movement in favour of somatic awareness and nervous system regulation.
I am particularly drawn to working with people who are ‘othered’ as this is something I grapple with myself, my strongest qualification being from the school of hard knocks from which I graduated with honours! I love working with people whose life experience I can empathise with, including those living with chronic conditions, who are fat, who are neurodivergent, global majority folks or people of minority faiths or ethnicities, or simply with people who don’t actually feel calmed by conventional yoga/wellness spaces. I have multiple talents and skills all that I can offer with yoga as the grounding root practice of our work together, and everything in service of reconnecting to ourselves.
I am an artist and a colour intuit with a fine art training, and I am an animal empath with an absolute dedication to animal welfare and helping others to benefit from the profound experience of being with animals in their capacity as teachers and healers. My approach is to create spaces whether that be physical space or the energetic space formed between us, that are kind and soft on the body and mind. I bring into the practice co-regulating tools, calming colours, aesthetically gentle environments, and in my opinion the perfect partner for yoga and the most profound ‘tool’ of all for grounding and self reflection, practicing in the presence of animals.
Note in the picture my rabbit Willow biting my bum as I do a daily self practice . Ok that moment wasn’t particularly calming but it was definitely grounding.
About Light Yoga Space
I actually have my mental feelers out for a new name that encompasses more of everything I now offer. Light Yoga Space started out in 2008 as a business partnership housed in a Victorian warehouse live/work space in East London, full of light and space, hence the name (see pic). I lived and taught from there for 10 years until a combination of factors meant I had to find a new home for myself, my animals and my offerings… It has been a 7 year period of change and transformation since then
At the moment I offer a combo of live streamed sessions via zoom as well as in-person sessions from local creative community venues and from my home with my animals in St Leonard’s on Sea in Hastings. I am currently quietly working away in the background on new ways of presenting and sharing my offerings so please do watch this space and follow my BLOG as the website gets a live redesign bit by bit and the story travels backward and forward through time and unfolds in the moment…
About the animals
Practice alongside my interspecies family and other beings
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, one-to-one sessions and courses at my home include the company of these wonderful beings bopping about simply being themselves as a grounding and therapeutic addition to the package
