Yoga Courses
Yoga for connection with Janice Kate on
Monday evenings 6:30 - 7:30 p.m. BST
These ongoing course are structured round a Classical Hatha Yoga sequence, with lots of adaptations and suggestions for individual bodies and minds. These friendly welcoming courses will focus on a different aspect of yoga each week. Each persons level of need and experience will be honoured and the course will be led at a flexible pace for diverse bodies and minds.
Yoga and mentoring for deep rest and relaxation on Tuesday mornings 10:00 -11:15 a.m. BST
This course has the extra focus of creating a small supportive community
Time for group sharing is included to gently develop a culture of working together and supporting each other as we each explore our own individual practice. We will be actively encouraged to move away from performative postures and competitive effort.
Movement and stretch will be combined with queues for somatic awareness and supported recovery poses, to help regulate the nervous system.
We will make use of bolsters, cushions and blankets for a deep dive into posture, concentration, breathing, rest and relaxation.

Would you like to practice along side this lovely lot?
Introducing my interspecies family members. Frida the Hungarian Puli, Asher Bubs the cat, and Teddy & Emmy Lola Willow Bella the giant buns (AKA Tedward & Bella).
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 an incomparable part of the package

One-to-One Yoga and Mentoring
online or in-person at my home 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.
The Online Ashram Style Self Practice Sadana Space
Mondays from 7:30 p.m.
Tuesdays - Fridays 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 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, leave any time it is your practice. But know you are not alone.
This is a gentle welcoming online home for anyone who wants to to explore your own practice. it can be a rehabilitative space for folks 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
A bit more about stuff
About the teacher
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 developed and changed over the years so has my teaching focus. My special interest is in guiding us away from performative and competitive movement in favour of somatic recovery and nervous system regulation.
I am particularly drawn to working with people who are living with chronic conditions, who are fat, who are neurodivergent or who simply don’t actually feel calmed in conventional yoga/wellness spaces. I offer more than yoga. My approach is to seek spaces and virtual backgrounds that are soft on the body and mind, both online and in person. 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. 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 story travels backward and forward through time and unfolds in the moment…
