Light Yoga Space

Light Yoga Space is an independent, body positive virtual yoga studio located in Hastings, New Zealand. Led by Janice Kate, a trained classical Hatha yoga teacher in the Sivananda tradition, the studio offers a variety of classes and mentoring sessions designed to create a welcoming and accessible yoga experience for all.

In terms of classes, Light Yoga Space offers a range of options to cater to different needs and preferences. They have accessible community memberships that provide unlimited access to live online classes and a library of recorded yoga classes, which vary in length from 5 minutes to 90 minutes. These classes are suitable for everybody, including those who identify as fat-positive. In addition, the studio offers classes specifically focused on breath relaxation and meditation, as well as yoga for deep rest and recovery.

For those looking for a more personalised yoga experience, Light Yoga Space provides one-to-one yoga and mentoring sessions. Janice Kate, a compassionate guide, witness, and mentor, works with individuals to explore the challenges and barriers that may be hindering personal growth and change. These sessions are designed to facilitate somatic release and recovery on a cellular level. They are available for everybody, including those seeking fat-positive yoga and mentoring.

The journey of Light Yoga Space began in 2008 in a Victorian warehouse in East London, which was known for its abundant light and space. During the lockdown in 2020, the studio made the transition to a virtual platform and has been offering online classes ever since. Currently, classes are streamed from St Leonard's on Sea, in Hastings, East Sussex, and the studio also hosts some live in-person classes at this location.

Light Yoga Space is dedicated to creating a diverse and inclusive yoga community. Janice Kate ensures that all classes are accessible, fat-neutral, anti-racist, and queer-friendly. The studio embraces a welcoming environment for everyone, regardless of their body shape, size, or identity.
