What you get as a Hotpod franchisee
Exclusive territory
You’re allocated a specific territory, in which no other Hotpod studio can launch. Once you have signed in a given territory, our property agents will help you with searching for the perfect site, as well as negotiating in order to get you the best deal possible.
Brand and Hotpod kit
We are proud of our highly accessible, down-to-earth and modern take on the ancient practice of yoga, where innovation is embraced and customer satisfaction is guaranteed. At the centre of our brand is our patent-protected pod, and you’ll get everything you need to run a class.
Community
Community is at the heart of everything we do here at Hotpod Yoga. We’ll support you in building a thriving community at your studio, but also encourage and facilitate relationships with other franchisees around the country, via virtual meet-ups, yearly reunions, and dedicated messaging channels.

Basic requirements.
While our franchisees come from a wide variety of backgrounds, from yoga teachers to professional martial artists to investment bankers, we look for a few key things in anyone hoping to open a Hotpod Yoga franchise.
Start-up capital: you’ll need some funds of your own to invest in the business, but we also have strong relationships with lenders who are happy to support prospective franchisees in raising the capital required.
Commitment: willing to dedicate full-time hours to the business, or two people part-time.
Passion: you could be a yoga teacher or non-teacher, but either way you have a passion for the brand, the practice and the pod.
