Kate Ashton

Kate has been a physiotherapist for twenty years and practised yoga for almost the same amount of time. Physiotherapy gave Kate extensive knowledge of the human body and how to strengthen it and protect it against injury, whilst yoga gave her the skills to tune into her body and listen to it on a deeper level. When she first started to practice yoga, it was very much from a physical perspective with the aim of getting stronger and more flexible; but as she has fallen more deeply in love with yoga, it has helped to deepen her understanding of herself. Kate has a lovely nurturing style of teaching, encouraging you to get the most out of your classes whilst exploring what your body is capable of.

Laina Lovegrove

Laina’s love for yoga started back in 2008, when she walked into a yoga class not even being able to touch her toes, but rather than feeling defeated and never going back to another yoga class, she saw this as a real challenge, never gave up and now 14 years later she is the yoga teacher. Laina has been teaching yoga for the past 10 years, alongside being a qualified Personal Trainer. Her approach to yoga is one that is very dynamic, achieves results and is fast flowing whilst being creative with the asanas and flow. Laina’s main goal in life is to be able to teach people how to move freely in without pain. Yoga is very much a part of her everyday life, as she knows the benefits it has had not only on her body but also her mind.

Liyen Mathew

Ex-synchronised swimmer Liyen had always enjoyed being fit and active, but after trying yoga for the first time in 2019, it changed her outlook entirely. It prompted a career change from a stressful senior management position to becoming a full time fitness coach and yoga teacher. “I stumbled upon Hotpod Yoga almost by accident but soon I was hooked. I met some of the team and got chatting to one of the owners at a local festival and immediately booked myself on to the next available intensive teaching training and franchisee training. I could not wait to share this incredible experience with others. Getting up in the morning and being able to have a positive impact on someone else’s life is the best motivation for doing a job. I’m discovering daily that mindful fitness and taking care of yourself is essential for a healthy body and sound mind.
