I was introduced to yoga as a teenager and from the first moment I stepped onto my mat I was hooked. I completed my training following two years of study and several years as a class assistant before I taught solo for the first time. I have continued to study, learn and adapt my teachings over the years.

After moving to Horsham back in 1990’s I began teaching here and still love it as much as I did back then. I have taught in schools, colleges and studio’s teaching all ages and abilities and I still get a thrill out of seeing people gain confidence and growth through their practise as well as the joy when people experience yoga for the first time. I am have also been lucky enough to guide pregnant ladies safely through their pregnancy and post natal journeys.

Following a total hip replacement back in 2019 I have a greater understanding and appreciation for how our practice changes through time.

Vinyasa classes are a real joy as they allow me the freedom to experiment with different flows that suit different themes, times of the year and I can really cater for all my class members.

I also love to teach yin yoga, as this is floor based, slow, nourishing and meditative and balances out the physicality of my vinyasa practice.

Hi, I’m Rachel, a yoga teacher based here in Sussex.

Yoga has been an essential part of my life for over a decade, offering healing both physically and mentally. I truly believe in its transformative power; how it builds strength in the body while creating space for stillness and clarity in the mind. My practice is rooted in the traditions of yoga, shaped by time and subsequent training in India, Nepal, and Sri Lanka. As a teacher, I aim to share this depth and joy in a way that feels grounded, accessible, and uplifting. In the heat of the pod, I’m here to guide you through movement that feels good in your body and helps you find calm in your day. I can’t wait to welcome you to the studio.

Katie believes movement is medicine and it is her intention to offer you a practise that leans into the energy of the moment. She loves to combine a flow that is seasonal with transitions that get you into every part of your body, whilst offering lots of moments for quiet reflection.

I've practiced yoga on and off throughout my life, especially during my years working in hospitality— I found it was the best way to calm both my body and mind. When I discovered hot yoga it completely changed my practice. I fell in love with the challenge, the heat, and the mental reset it gave me, which led me to complete my teacher training in 2023. Now, I love helping others find that same sense of strength and calm on the mat.

Yoga has been part of my life for over 20 years, and my love for the practice has only deepened with time. Stepping into teaching has been an incredibly joyful journey, and I’m truly delighted to be joining the Hotpod Yoga team. I can’t wait to flow, sweat, and share this beautiful practice with you.
