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.

Danielle began the yoga journey with her Mum and Auntie in a school hall about 20 years ago. Loving how graceful she felt within the poses, she couldn’t get enough of the feeling of wellbeing that yoga brings. Yoga and meditation helped her through pregnancy, and when her beautiful baby was born she found, who would soon become, her teacher on Body in Balance TV. A few years later, in true alignment with the stars, Danielle made a friend who had trained with the same teacher in the beautiful style of Yoga Rhythm, as well as Vinyasa Flow and Hatha and completed the training herself. Danielle adores the practice, it is the constant that gets her through life’s challenges. Using yoga to manage sciatica and knee pain she has seen so many physical and mental benefits and is so happy to have the opportunity to share this beautiful practice with others. Danielle tries as much as she can to take yoga off the mat into her life, and has taken this further towards veganism and strives to be as eco friendly as possible.

Hi, I'm Kat – a performer turned yoga teacher with a deep love for movement. I spent years dancing, flipping, and flying as an acrobat and dancer, using movement to express myself and connect with others.

Yoga began as a way to stay strong for performing, but soon became much more - a source of clarity, resilience, and growth. That journey led me to train with Hotpod Yoga and discover a new passion: sharing yoga as a tool for healing, connection, and empowerment.

Now, as I step into teaching, I bring my full background with me. My classes focus on body awareness, creativity, and mindfulness - offering movement that feels joyful, accessible, and grounded. Whether you're new or experienced, I hope to create space where you can breathe deeply and feel 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.

After spending two and a half years travelling through Australia and Asia, she’s now back in the UK, feeling grounded and using yoga as a steady constant in her life. Yoga reminds her to find calm within the chaos and practise gratitude daily. Her favourite asana is Sirsasana (headstand), which she turns to for perspective and stillness after busy days.

Hi everyone, my name is Paige. I started my yoga journey 5 years ago and have been teaching for 3! When I first started attending yoga classes, I felt intimidated by the incredibly experienced and flexible people I was surrounded by. But the more classes I went to, the more I realised yoga truly is for everyone, regardless of experience or skill level, there is infinite benefit! My power lies in my strength so as a teacher I love to implement poses that help others feel strong too - particularly goddess! I also aim to challenge myself and my students with flexibility poses and with plenty of focus on mindfulness and reflection. Just like we stretch muscles, it’s important we stretch the mind too. Ultimately, my classes are for all and I hope they leave you relaxed and recharged.

During her time teaching overseas, Emma completed her 200 hours YTT Thailand in 2015, followed by further training with a 300 hours YTT in Bali in 2023 and 25 hour Mandala Method training in 2025.
