Please arrive around 10 – 15 mins before the start of your class.  The doors are locked when the class starts for security so we’re not able to let anyone in after the class has begun.  Try not to arrive more than 15 minutes before the class start time, as there may still be people leaving from a previous class, plus our teachers will be getting the studio and pod ready to welcome you.

Please make sure you have signed the waiver by logging into your account on a web browser before trying to book via the app. If thats all done, make sure you’re logged into the right account. If you’re still struggling, give us a shout.

We recommend shorts (with nets!) for men, and a t-shirt if you wish. Women should wear gym kit – legging/shorts and vest top. Remember, it does get sweaty.

We recommend bringing plenty of water with you. Yoga towels are required in all classes, but you can hire one from us if you forget.

Yes, mats are provided. You’re welcome to bring your own, but there’s a complimentary one there waiting for you. Just be sure to bring a towel to lay on your mat to keep from slipping.

Most of our studios have showers, but please contact your location directly to check.

Try not to eat within an hour before class.

You will be absolutely fine! Just let the teacher know it’s your first lesson, take the class at your own pace and remember you can take a restorative pose and pause to catch your breath whenever you need to.

If you’re feeling physically unwell, it’s very important that you do not come to class. Firstly, it may well make you feel worse (if you’ve got a cold or flu, for example). Secondly, we don’t want to risk you infecting others.

The pod allows us to create a wonderful hot yoga studio anywhere. It’s an amazing, tranquil environment to practice yoga.

37ºc.

The heat makes the heart and lungs work a little harder – helping you burn more calories, and giving you a great cardio workout. Warmth also increases flexibility – easing joints and muscles and helping prevent injury. Finally… well, it’s just nice!

The physical and mental benefits of yoga are innumerable. Aside from providing a challenging workout, helps to balance the body and mind through physical exercises and controlled breathing. Introducing meditative practices helps us release stress and anxiety, promoting clarity of mind, better focus and increased energy and alertness. It’s about an all-round greater sense of well being.

Bikram is a well-known US-based hot yoga franchise. It is a strict practice, made up of 26 postures, practiced for 90 minutes. Some of our postures are similar to the Bikram sequence, as both forms derive from the same root of yoga. However, our sequences are an hour long (or sometimes 45 minutes), slightly less hot, typically more flowing and are less prescriptive. We allow room for creativity, so that not every class or teacher will be exactly the same. Crucially, Hotpod Yoga is portable – held in our very own pods – unlike anyone else!

We know that not everyone has the luxury of 90 minutes spare for yoga. But we’ll work you hard and get your heart pumping – 45 minute or an hour is plenty of time for a thorough workout and to escape your day-to-day.

Unfortunately not. The heat makes it quite high exertion and raises the body temperature – both not entirely safe when pregnant. So, we recommend finding a great pregnancy yoga class and then coming back to see us when you are ready after the baby’s born.

No under 16s allowed, unfortunately. We have been known to run occasional kids classes, but not on a regular schedule.

Yes. You must cancel your class via the website or app at least 12 hours in advance, or your class pass will not be refunded. Cancellation policies may vary by studio, so please check with your local studio to find out more.

Yes, of course. Memberships can be held for a minimum of one week and require a written request, by email, to your local studio with as much notice as possible.

To refer a friend, you can share your unique referral code, which they can enter when creating an account. This will automatically add a Free Taster Class to their account, which they can use to book on to a class. Once they book and attend the class, you may be eligible to receive a credit on your account.

Please note that not all studios are offering referral credit, and that credit can take a few days to process. The Free Taster Class can only be redeemed once per customer and all studios reserve the right to refuse it (or issue credit) if multiple accounts are created.

To ask any questions about Refer a Friend, you can get in touch with your local studio here.

Just log in to the app, choose ‘home’ from the dropdown menu and scroll to the bottom to see your referral code. Your friend will need to enter this code when creating an account, on the same screen where they enter their name and email address for the first time  – it cannot be added after the account is created. If you are using the website, choose ‘my account’ from the dropdown menu after logging in.
