Sarah Pretty
Sarah has been a regular #HPYPodSquad since the very beginning of Hotpod Yoga York! A battle with anxiety and depression first led her to yoga. The physical practice and mindfulness quickly became a self-care routine and soon after she knew this passion could develop into something that she can share with others.
Focussing on mobility, alignment and flexibility, Sarah’s classes allow you to explore and play on the mat, restoring balance and a sense of calm, leaving you feeling refreshed and relaxed after your practice.
Jess O’Connell
Having trained and worked as a dancer for many years, yoga seemed like a seamless fit for Jess after trying out different forms of exercises. Having practised yoga for five years and teaching other classes including spin and HIIT she finally decided to take the plunge and complete her 200 hour Vinyasa teaching training this year.
Her aim as a teacher is to make yoga approachable for every person and every body. Jess’ classes will work on a good mixture of balance, flexibility and mobility so that you leave the class feeling mentally and physically better than when you came in.
Etta Murrell
Etta’s passion for practicing and teaching yoga stems from uncovering the many benefits, for not only the body but also for the mind and our deeper consciousness and higher awareness. With her love for the tradition and practice, Etta enjoys helping people to reconnect to themselves and what they want to create through yoga, helping others to uncover and remember the purpose of our existence and our higher potential. Through the art of vinyasa flows, Etta’s classes focus on reconnecting into who we really are deep within, behind the veils of body and mind origin.
Rebecca Jones
Rebecca’s love for getting lost within movement came from her passion of dancing. Her professional dance training background has provided her many qualities that she now uses on and off the mat and wants to share with others.
It is York’s very own Hotpod Yoga studio that made her fall in love with Yoga and want to become a teacher herself.
Teaching alignment, awareness of position and movement of the body, and correct posture to others is important to Rebecca as she believes these are the foundations to a comfortable life.
A class with B will have you working on a good balance of strength, flexibility and mobility helping you to leave feeling energised and refreshed both physically and mentally.
When Rebecca isn’t doing Yoga you will find her teaching Pilates or performing at the happiest place on Earth – Disney!
Oli Milroy
Passionate for all things fitness, Oli has a background of marathon running and CrossFit. Having discovered through injury just how important self-maintenance of our muscles, bones, joints, ligaments and tendons can be, Oli was inspired, and without hesitation added Yoga into his regime as part of his mobility, recovery and strengthening training.
As an established Personal Trainer, CrossFit coach and proud co-Founder for Hotpod Yoga York, Oli wishes to share his passion for the discipline with others, in the form of focused and clear anatomical vinyasa flows.
Oli believes yoga should be accessible to everyone, be it age or condition, and his classes will offer you just that: a true space for that calming mindfulness and a journey to self-discovery.
Victoria Chan
Growing up in Hong Kong with years of training in dancing and as an aspiring anatomy geek, Victoria has always had a love of movement that combine biomechanics with proprioception, a focus on physical challenge and exploring that feel-good factor.
With the inspiration and passion for sharing something she loves – Victoria has breathed and lived the Hotpod Yoga journey truly when she discovered it in Nottingham – from customer, to teacher, and after making the plunge to quit her corporate career: to now a proud Franchisee Owner. There’s definitely something magical about practicing with the heady aromas, down tempo beats and of course, and the wonderful purple pod!
Vix’s classes are always evolving, sharing how she sees the world. Playful yet mindful, joining Vix on the mat is an invitation to be curious of your own movements and permission to be who you already are; challenge yourself but have fun along the way, all to reclaim that realm of serenity in your headspace – a class with Vix will always incoporate the mind as well as the body to cultivate a full rounded practice. Expect coming out from her classes feeling lighter and liberated both physically and mentally, maybe even an unexplainable smile!

Victoria Chan and Oli Milroy
Originally from Hong Kong and Chesterfield, fate brought Victoria and Oli together when Oli attended his first Hotpod Yoga class where Victoria was teaching in Nottingham back in 2016, and they've not looked back since... Fast forward 3 years, and they both took the plunge and quit their jobs as Business Analyst and Personal Trainer respectively, and couldn't be more ecstatic to bring Hotpod Yoga to York!
