Kelly's 2023 new year’s resolution was to improve her mobility to compliment her Crossfit training and minimise injuries. She bought a 10 class pass at Hotpod and committed to doing 1 class a week for 10 weeks. Just 3 weeks into the year, Kelly had already used all her passes and found herself completely addicted to Hotpod. Kelly wants to be able to share the Hotpod experience with as many people as possible and so completed her teacher training at House of Om in 2024.

Liberty's yoga journey began in 2014 at Hotpod Yoga Solihull. After trying one class she was completely hooked by the immersive beauty of the pod as well as the high energy classes. Having worked in the fitness industry for many years Hotpod Yoga brought a completely different dimension to her perception of fitness so in 2018 Liberty completed her Yoga teacher training with Hotpod Yoga. Liberty’s classes will be high on energy and will leave you feeling lifted and refreshed.

I first stepped into Hotpod in 2016 during my rollercoaster of a ride to start a family.
I’ve always loved movement having come from a dancing background but Hotpod seemed to be the missing piece for me as it really helped to calm my mind and give me an escape during a stressful time.

During Covid I decided to retrain as a Yoga Teacher and have completed courses in Hatha, Vinyasa, Yoga for Menopause and Yin, when I was lucky enough to train with Norman Blair in London.

I feel incredibly grateful that I get to share my love of yoga.
My classes are light hearted and friendly, a place where everyone is made to feel welcome.

I’ll meet you on the mat.

I discovered yoga whilst completing my teaching degree at the Royal Academy of Dance in London, seeking to cross train for my general wellness. I fell so in love with yoga and it has been my antidote to the stresses and demands of having a busy life. Practising in the heat has taught me to pause, create space for myself and furthered my understanding of breath work, body awareness and mind-body connection. My classes are feel-good, energetic and focus on the art of being able to stay truly present. I welcome all yogi’s with any level of experience to the mat and have a personalised teaching approach. You will leave my class feeling brighter, calmer and stronger! Look forward to seeing you on the mat!

I’ve always been passionate about fitness and exercise since a young age. A dancer through my childhood, enjoying weightlifting, moving and keeping healthy is something I’ve always loved to do.
Yoga has the element of dance and fitness to it which is what first intrigued me; the aesthetics, flexibility and all the physical benefits.
As well as the physical benefits to yoga there are so many mental benefits. The way you can control, calm your body and mind down through practice whether it be with mediation or flowing through postures energising the body and stilling the mind. Yoga is the perfect way to give something back to yourself and feel restored and uplifted.

I was instantly hooked when I found the pod and knew this is something I wanted to share with everyone. This led me to take the step to do my RYS200 hour Teacher training with Hotpod Yoga.
Teaching classes which are accessible to anyone, flowy, energetic and uplifting is my favourite thing to do.
Hope to see you soon!

I was first introduced Into HPY back in 2015 as a full time mum looking for some ‘me time’. I loved it. From going back into the industry after a career break a few years earlier my journey into yoga progressed from Yoga, Tai Chi & pilates to wanting to complete my YTT and delve into the world of Hotpod. I can’t wait to share my experience of Hotpod with everyone.

I found my love for yoga over 13 years ago. As soon as I attended my first Ashtanga class I knew I would be doing yoga for the rest of my life. I have been teaching since 2013 having completed my teacher training in London, Bali and Mexico . I teach and specialise in various yoga styles including Dynamic,Power,Vinyasa,Yin and Restorative to name just a few of my favourites .When I attended my first hot pod class I instantly fell in love and I am so grateful to be part of the family.
My goal and aim is to ensure everyone’s feels welcome, comfortable and safe within the yoga space . I love to challenge individuals and encourage those to step outside their comfort zone and to feel confident in their bodies.
I’m obsessed with how yoga makes me feel mentally, physically and emotionally. Join me on the mat so we can experience this together.

I have loved moving my body through dance, working out and weightlifting for years, when I stepped onto a mat for the first time, I knew yoga was going to be a new love of mine. Since then, yoga has been my 'little slice of heaven' and a practice I continuously learn from both physically and mentally.
When I found Hotpod Redditch I couldn’t get enough of the feeling that stuck with me each time I left the pod, each practice helps create inner space, peace and a warm feeling of restoration and energy.
Officially hooked and wanting to share this feeling with others I completed my Vinyasa flow training with Hotpod in London this year.
I am passionate to share the balance yoga brings to your life and mind, my classes will not only help you focus on staying present but also are a reminder to move your body out of love for your body and mind.

I’ve been a fitness enthusiast for many years, before attending my first yoga class and discovering the clarity it gave me while balancing the ebbs and flows of life. I completed my 200hr yoga teacher training through Yoga Alliance and have loved teaching students of all levels ever since – from complete beginners to seasoned yogis. Nothing beats the immersive experience of Hotpod and I love being in the gorgeous pod bubble during a hot, juicy flow! Whether you’re taking your first step into the pod or are further along in your yoga journey, I will help you get the most out of your practice, so you leave feeling recentred and ready to take on the rest of your day.

Yoga brought so much peace to my soul and gave me such a love for my body that I felt I just had to share the magic with others. I completed my 200hr teacher training in Hatha yoga in December 2020 and happily haven’t stopped learning since. I will always be a student of yoga and that’s what I love about the practice, it is a practice, it will never be completed, it’s an ever-evolving journey to the self. Yoga is a huge part of my life that helps me regulate my emotions and keep my mind & body strong, so you’ll usually find me up at 6am most mornings enjoying my own practice, with a chai tea never far from reach. I am incredibly grateful to be able to teach and in my classes I like to create a friendly, safe space where we can build strength, cultivate a whole lotta self-love & respect, find connection, and PLAY. Meet you on the mat for the magic.

Hi I’m Jayne I have done yoga on and off for 20 years never really taking it too seriously just enjoying the practice when I attended a class. I then had a few health problems and started to attend classes on a regular basis - that was where my love of yoga began. I love the benefits yoga gives me physically, mentally and spiritually. I wanted to share this magic with others and completed my yoga teach training.

Sarah’s yoga journey began to increase her physical fitness, but it soon evolved into something deeper. Over the past eight years, Vinyasa yoga has been part of Sarah’s life, challenging her to go deeper into postures and deeper into self study.

Sarah says, “through this practice, I've not only gained flexibility and strength but also found contentment in the practice of mindfulness and living in the present moment. Yoga is much more than a series of poses; it's a journey towards finding inner harmony and a grounded sense of self.”

Sarah’s classes are designed to share this journey with you - to help you find your own balance, both on and off the mat. Together, you’ll flow through sequences that harmonize breath and movement, promoting physical wellness and mental clarity.

Sarah can't wait to meet you on the mat, share energies, and explore the incredible world of Vinyasa yoga together.

Bethany is an international circus performer specialising in contortion, handstand and acrobatics.
Whilst performing has always been a passion, there’s no denying that the over stretching sometimes takes its toll and in her mid 20’s Beth found relief in hot yoga. The heat and movement became a form of physio as well and a mental release she never realised she needed from the demands of self-employment. After practicing for some years, Beth decided to take the leap and fly over to Bali and take her YTT 200 and see if the idea of pursuing teaching was for her. The time out in Bali was life changing and a new passion was found for the different practices that were on offer. From physical flows such as vinyasa, to the techniques of ashtanga and even the mental releases gained from Pranayama, the journey was an eye opening experience. Since returning and spending a few years teaching, she had flown out to Thailand under scholarship to further her teacher training and is now RYT 500. Beth works hard to vary her classes week to week, offering practises that involve traditional vinyasa flow and technique but incorporate ‘wild card’ poses and sequences to challenge the norm.

I found yoga in 2011 as a way to minimise the injuries I had been sustaining through exercise. I didnt expect to become instantly hooked and quickly experienced many benefits both physically and mentally. In 2016 I took the plunge to become a teacher and trained in Vinyasa/Hatha styles.

After attending my first Hotpod class I never looked back. For me its the perfect balance of everything I need from a yoga class: the flow, the music, the light and the ambience. The teachers continue to push you physically whilst still allowing you to quieten your mind from the outside world. As a teacher my main aim is for to my classes to be accessible to all, playful and fun.

Outside of the pod I love weight training, listening to great music, travelling, spending time in nature and eating everything in sight.

See you on the mat soon!

Hi, I'm Amanda! Find your feel-good glow with me at Hotpod Yoga. As a Yoga and Pilates teacher, I'm passionate about creating inclusive classes for everyone. My background as a physiotherapist informs my approach, and this journey into wellness and education has been truly inspiring. Having travelled to 20 countries (and counting!), I'm always happy to learn about different cultures. Plus, being a total foodie in Birmingham, I'm always happy to share my restaurant recommendations!

Ellie qualified as a yoga teacher at Trimurti Yoga India in 2017. After years of taking Hotpod classes as a student, she joined as a teacher in 2024 and now loves having the opportunity to meet so many lovely yogis, sharing the pod with them and guiding them to understand themselves a little better through their practice.

Drawn to hot yoga for the intensity, I would take class when I found time in between different jobs and schedules around 8years ago.

Something always called me back to that magic mat, in a space where I could explore my movement and breath, whilst soaking up the knowledge the teachers would offer. Unlike any other exercise, yoga was building my internal world, my mindset, my perspective at the same time I was exploring some cool shapes with my body.

I took my first solo travel trip to India at the end of 2018 to complete my 200hrs, I have since completed many more trainings in various yoga styles and hypnotherapy.

I’m forever fascinated by the inner workings of the mind & body, our connection to nature and the world around us. I see the physical practice of yoga, as a beautiful streamlined way to connect back to ourselves. To practice helps us return back to our own inner world, which shapes how we see the outer world. Very needed in this loud, distracting world - I can’t a wait to meet you all in the pod.

Harjean’s journey with Ashtanga yoga began in 2010, when she was instantly drawn to the practice’s dynamic strength and its deeply calming, grounding qualities. Since then, she has studied with respected teachers in India and has been sharing her love of yoga with others since 2017.

Her teaching has taken her from studios across the West Midlands to working with Premier League football teams, supporting athletes in enhancing performance and recovery. She also delights in introducing children to yoga, encouraging mindfulness and joy through movement from an early age.

In Harjean’s classes, you can expect a thoughtful balance of strength and flexibility, always rooted in breath awareness and precise alignment. Her aim is to challenge and support students, leaving them feeling refreshed, centred, and empowered.

Hi, l'm Kat a performer turned yoga teacher with a deep love for movement in all its forms. I've spent much of my life dancing, flipping, and flying through the vorld of performance as a dancer and acrobat. From stage shows to TV movement has always been my way of expressing myself and connecting wit others.
Yoga first came into my life as a way to stay strong and flexible for my performing career —but it quickly became so much more than that. Over time, it was more than just a physical practice—it became a source of mental clarity, emotional resilience, and personal growth. That transformation inspired me to dive deeper, eventually leading me to teacher training with Hotpod and a new calling: sharing yoga as a tool for connection, healing, and empowerment.
Now, as I make the shift into teaching yoga, I'm bringing all of that experience with me. My classes are grounded in body awareness, creativity, and mindfulness-drawing from my background to explore movement in a way that feels both joyful and accessible. Whether you're brand new to yoga or looking to deepen your practice, I aim to create a space where you can move freely, breathe deeply, and feel fully at home in your body.

Hi, I’m Jamie, a personal trainer and health coach with a lifelong passion for movement. My journey with yoga began from a performance perspective, where I discovered its power to enhance my physical abilities and cultivate a greater sense of inner peace.

My family motto, ‘Stand Sure,’ symbolized by an oak tree, has deepened its meaning through my yoga practice, grounding me in a philosophy of sustainable performance, both on and off the mat. This foundation allows me to explore movement with greater purpose and energy. To me, yoga is a continuous journey of self-discovery that extends far beyond the physical postures.

Having completed my teacher training with the Hotpod family, I am passionate about creating a space where you can explore your own strength. My classes are centered on the mindful connection between movement and breath, fostering a deeper internal awareness. Movement is a personal journey, and I am excited to welcome you in the pod to discover and grow. Like a tree, our potential for growth is endless.

My name is Maia
Yoga has been part of my life since my teenage years, but only recently I've completed my 200-hour YTT in Goa, India. I believe Yoga is not just a hobby but a lifestyle.
I'm passionate about how much we can grow and learn about ourselves through this philosophy. My experience in teaching started as soon as I finished YTT back in march 2024 in the oldest yoga center in the world (in a small island in india called Chorao), doing online private lessons to friends while travelling through Bali and Malaysia as well as volunteering teaching is hostels that I was passing by. I'm also a huge believer in affirmation quotes and manifestation, so that's something to expect when joining my classes.
Yoga is using our breath to connect our body and mind, bringing a union within ourselves and if we learn how to breathe Yoga, it can be our greatest medicine.

Coming from a dance background, movement has always been my language. Yoga gives me a way to feel grounded, empowered and strong, and that’s the energy I bring into the pod. With training in both yoga and Pilates, I love to blend fluid flow with intentional, muscle-focused movement. My aim is for every person to leave class feeling centred, confident and powerful in their own body

Jakub first discovered yoga under the tropical skies of Thailand, and what started as curiosity quickly became a lifeline through depression, grief, and addiction. On the mat, he found strength, stillness, and a spark of joy.
