About us.

Yoga studios aren’t normally set up by two men – but Hotpod isn’t a typical yoga studio. Nick (a teacher) and Max (a management consultant) came to hot yoga late, but with
enthusiasm. Like many people, they felt a million times better after doing it. Like not so many people, they decided to turn that brilliant feeling into a business. In 2013, Hotpod Yoga was born – the product of Nick and Max asking each other what the absolute best version of the yoga experience could be… and building it.

We’re Hotpod Yoga – a world-renowned yoga studio with a difference – several, actually.

Our classes take place in a warm and darkly lit, inflatable pod. In it, we’ve created the optimum environment for our community to escape into, and stretch themselves out (whether that’s physically, or mentally). Everything from the music you hear to the scent of the room is designed by us to create an atmosphere like no other. It’s why yoga lovers love us, and it’s why yoga haters love us too.

Although our classes are intense, you don’t need to be good at yoga – or have ever done yoga – to do Hotpod.

Just bring a towel, and some water.

You’ll love it.

We worked with world-leading inflatable experts, top architects and heating consultants to create our unique and immersive pods, which sit inside our permanent studios. Clever technology and beautiful design make them the perfect yoga environment – they’re also patent approved in Europe (European Patent number 3060732), the US (US Patent no 9708830) and beyond!

We support a growing network of franchisees around the world – a group of yoga entrepreneurs, empowered to run their own business with our support. Alongside that, our Teacher Training School turns yoga fans into qualified professionals.

We believe that yoga has an unrivalled power to make people feel great, whatever that means to them. For some, it’s a sense of calm. For others, it’s a rush of energy. But for all who experience it, it’s transformative. Our purpose is to bring the power of yoga to more people and places than ever before – even those who may never have thought yoga was for them.

We’re a business of people. We’re proud to have empowered franchisees around the world to launch and grow their own Hotpod businesses, we’re inspired to see our Teacher Training grads build fruitful careers, and above all else, we’re humbled by the hundreds of thousands of people who’ve immersed themselves in a Hotpod class.

Social and environmental impact is something we take really seriously. Of course we have to start with the honest fact that running hot yoga classes is likely to have a more negative environmental impact than not running hot yoga classes. But we wholly and completely see the delivery of our classes as a societally good thing – something that brings a positive impact to those who are able to enjoy it.

So, what we’ve sought to do is ensure, to every extent possible, that we run our business in a way that is the most environmentally efficient and ethically sound as possible. Whether it’s environmental efficiency in our design, sound selection of our suppliers or even the way we pay our staff – we do our very best to have the most postive impact we can on the world around us.
