re you ready for a yoga experience like no other: an
immersive 60-minute yoga flow, based inside a heated,
inflatable studio?
Nick Higgins and Max Henderson, a former
schoolteacher and management consultant, founded
Hotpod Yoga in 2013 with the mission to bring yoga to the 99% of the
world who don’t currently practice. Having launched with pop-up classes
run out of temporary locations, Hotpod Yoga now has permanent
locations in South Africa, Germany, Portugal and, of course, the UK.
Since their launch, they have opened over 40 locations across eight
different countries, delivering over 50,000 classes to nearly 100,000
customers and attracting a great deal of media interest.
Hotpod Yoga encourages customers to adopt a ‘yoga practice
designed for real life’, leaning away from today’s stereotype of bendy
Instagram goddesses and green juice guzzlers. Instead, attendees
are encouraged to adopt a yoga practice centred around their life;
to stretch out the office hunch, release the cyclist’s hamstring, revive
the partied-out festival-goer and realign the childbearing arm –
to supercharge real life!
Classes are held in signature, 20-person, inflatable studios,
otherwise known as pods. Heated to 37 degrees, these pods provide
the perfect environment to zip away from the screens, stresses and
situations outside, allowing you to enjoy a good sweaty stretch and
leave relaxed, recharged and ready for life. The darkened, cocoon-like
environment provides the perfect atmosphere to not only quiet a busy
mind, but the heat and classes ensure you work the body, making you
more flexible, more resilient and more energetic.
Hotpod Yoga’s vinyasa flow classes are designed for all levels, from
the complete beginner to the long-term yoga-goer, enabling anyone to
step inside the warmth of the pod for an intense hit of yoga - leaving
you looser, calmer and better able to take on the rest of the day.
New to Hotpod? All studios offer a generous intro offer which
enables you to really immersive yourself in the Hotpod Yoga
experience – to really get into it.

Teacher Training: Want to take it to the next level? With over
50,000 classes under their belt, a network of 250+ teachers and
nearly 100,000 happy students, they’ve learned a lot about what
it takes to be a great yoga instructor and thrive in an increasingly
competitive field. So, it made sense for them to put that into practice
by launching their very own teacher training qualification. This 200hr
Yoga Alliance certified vinyasa flow qualification aims to take people
who are passionate about yoga and turn them into great yoga
teachers with promising careers ahead. Hotpod Yoga offer intensive
and part-time courses, based from their London training centre. Find
