about the studio
Hotpod Yoga Margate is a beautiful studio space with large windows, high ceilings – a beautiful pod next to the sea in Margate. The studio is a friendly community space where students often chat before or after class. It always feels welcoming when you walk up the stairs and enter the quiet from the High Street and buzz of the day.
We’re Europe’s largest yoga business. Since 2013, over 100,000 people have immersed themselves in a Hotpod class at one of our 50+ locations around the world. You’ll stretch further, breathe deeper, sweat harder and melt fully into the Hotpod experience – a balanced flow of active and passive postures, working the body and calming the mind in equal measure.

Aline Roeser

Then her practice became regular and she got so amazed at how it transformed her physically as well as mentally that she decided to train to become a teacher.

Rob Garrad
Rob came to yoga practice during his years as a professional dancer/ choreographer. His practice was never consistent in those days and wasn’t until a life changing spinal cord injury in 2013 that took him away from the dance world that he really started to take the practice more seriously as it became paramount to both his physical and mental well-being. He discovered rocket yoga on his first 200 hour TT with the yoga people in goa and fell instantly in love with practicing it and teaching. He has continued his trainings with his main teachers Marcus Veda and hannah Whittingham with the good life yoga school. There dynamic of mixing rocket with focus on alignment suits his style of teaching. Robs classes are strong playful with a sense of lightness about them.
Jamie Ray
A former professional dancer, Jamie naturally fell into yoga, obtaining his 200-hour Yoga Alliance certificate and has been teaching full time for the past five years, both privately and at London’s top yoga studios.
He is super excited to be making the move down to the coast with his fiancée and his Maltese puppy, and can’t wait to get to know the local community.
Veronica Kadi
After discovering a strong Yang practise in London and then taking a year out to travel Asia, it was during this time that Veronica developed a deeper self practise and realised what an essential part of her well being yoga had become. Originally from a background in Fashion Design, Veronica’s classes combine her love of movement together with her creativity.
Her classes are dynamic and playful and she aims to guide students to develop strength, stamina and mobility, uniting both physical and anatomical teachings in her classes. Expect to be welcomed with a smile and leave feeling energised.

Becoming immediately hooked with the modern style and pure escapism the Pod provides, and the incredible mental and physical health benefits, he quickly realised he needed to be the one up front teaching. Within a year he completed his 200hr YTT with Hotpod Yoga and now feels like he is living the dream! “I can’t wait to help people feel the way the Pod has helped me feel
Nicole Harley
Nicole loves creating classes that offer both fun challenges and deep relaxation. She was recommended yoga for an injury and has clocked up hundreds of teacher training hours in a number of styles. She loves sound healing and yoga nidra, but when she discovered hot yoga she got hooked on moving in the heat. Nicole believes yoga isn’t about the perfect pose – it’s about doing what feels good and right for your body, and having fun with it. Expect her flow and dynamic classes to be upbeat, and her nurturing classes to leave you feeling calm and stretched out.

Megan Bradley
Megan stumbled upon Hotpod Yoga Hackney back in January 2015 whilst on a mission to get fit. The combination of challenge, fun and positive faces had her coming back again and again. Deciding to make the big move from London to the seas of Margate, Megan could not envisage the future without the pod. A few friendly franchise meetings with Hotpod Yoga founders led Megan to begin training as a yoga teacher, buying her first Hotpod Home, and making Hotpod Margate a reality in January 2017!
