Hi I’m Janice (they/them) a body positive, fat friendly yoga teacher
I have over 30 years of yoga experience in Classical Hatha Yoga in the Sivananda tradition which I have been teaching for 20 years. More recently in my own practice I have been exploring yoga for deep rest and healing, namely Restorative Yoga, Accessible Yoga and Yoga Nidra which have had a huge influence on my offerings as well.
Because I have fibromyalgia which is a hidden disability, and because I am fat I don’t at all fit the usual image of the acrobatic, thin, white, bendy, physically fit yoga teacher/practitioner despite over 30 years of yoga practice. In fact I am actively committed to working against that false representation and in my teaching practice I actively reach out to students who also do not fit this stereotype.
I love supporting people via yoga through transitional life phases and conditions such as menopause, chronic fatigue, burnout, fibromyalgia, ageing, addiction recovery, pregnancy, gender transition, weight gain, grief, emotional recovery from abortion or miscarriage, depression, illness and injury, to name a few. Yoga can be a powerfully supportive and profoundly gentle tool for everyone as we navigate society, capitalism, our own body, health, loss and life.
