Please join us for this gentle 5-week yoga course with Janice Kate Fisher. This course is for EVERY body but especially for those of you who think that you are too …..….. for yoga (fill in your own belief).
Classes are kept small and welcoming: Maximum 6 people (minimum 4)
No previous experience of yoga is required for you to attend.
​
Week 1
- In this first session we will practice introductory yogic breathing techniques, gentle slow poses and meditation. We will explore how to take breath work and meditation into our physical practice.
​
Week 2
- In this second session we will practice a little bit more movement and breathing. We will explore how to approach going deeper into a stretch using ‘letting go’, and breath, more than physical effort
Week 3 & 4
- In this third session we will get a bit more explorative with our physical practice and look at some more ‘complex’ yoga poses with the focus on how we can make yoga poses work for our own bodies. This session will be guided with a ‘zero pressure, less is more’ attitude
Week 5
- In this final course session we will enjoy a practice that covers everything we have explored on the course so far with a special focus on the balance between effort and relaxation​​​​​

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.
