Sophie Keough

Sophie found a love for yoga when she was a competitive long distance runner. It was the perfect match to help her stretch, unwind and refocus. She knew she wanted to do something that helped other people whilst also looking after herself, and that’s when she completed her training to be a yoga teacher. Sophie teachers a strong class that flows smoothly and connects movement with the breath.

Mel Shooter

Mel has been practicing yoga for 14 years and loves the way it makes her feel both mentally and physically. She started teaching in 2023 so she could share her love of yoga with others. Mel leads a strong class with a focus on alignment and importance of the breath- whilst not taking things too seriously.

Sally Morrison

Sally started practicing yoga about 10 years ago, initially enjoying the strong physical practice. Since then, she has worked in various roles centred around helping others, and yoga has become a more and more important source of self-care.

Sally is passionate about the regulation our nervous systems can experience when we pair breath with movement. Because of this her classes are simple, with an emphasis on listening and responding to what your body wants and needs. By engaging in this practice we can ground ourselves and replenish our sources of compassion, ready to step back out into the world and do good!

Pete Lynch

In 2015, Pete turned to yoga as a way to rehabilitate his body from martial arts injuries. Initially, yoga was merely a supplement to his martial arts practice, but over time, he realized that its benefits extended far beyond the physical. As he explored various styles, starting with Ashtanga and eventually embracing the warmth of Hotpod Yoga, Pete found himself drawn deeper into the practice.

What began as a tool for recovery evolved into a true passion. In August 2019, Pete completed his 200-hour teacher training, marking the beginning of a lifelong journey. Today, he is dedicated to sharing the transformative power of yoga with others, hoping to inspire them to experience the same freedom and presence that he has found.

Lisa D

Lisa’s yoga journey began in 2013 when she found it helped hugely with her migraines. Her teaching style is centred around creating a space where people can feel free to explore their connection to breath based movement, with huge emphasis on the power of the breath, and tuning in to the body’s own intelligence both on and off the yoga mat.

Amber Lester

Amber started her own yoga journey 12 years ago, first for a purely physical pursuit before realising all the mental benefits aswell. Having tried many styles of yoga she found hot yoga to be her favourite and has never looked back. She has been teaching hatha yoga for over 18 months, with her passion lying in helping others heal from life stressors and is very familiar with the hotpod flow from years of practice.

Tamsyn Blake

Tamsyn seriously began her yoga journey in 2017 when she was looking for something to support her scoliosis. As soon as the pandemic hit, it became a daily practice. With a background in dance, she loves both creating a smooth flow, and challenging the body in the heat. Her aim is to create a connection with the body to allow the mind to rest and detach from the hustle of life. As a Personal Trainer, she also holds a focus on the biomechanics of the body and enjoys how they interweave with a strong practice.

Georgina Smith

George first found yoga in 2011 whilst volunteering in Sri Lanka. On her return to the UK, she experimented with a variety of styles to compliment her creative lifestyle before finding Sun Power Yoga that challenged her with juicy backbends and invigorating inversions.

George returned to Sri Lanka in 2017 to complete her yoga teacher training with Quantum Yoga founder; Lara Baumann. Following this, she started her teaching career at retreat centres across the island.

She has since been back to study with Lara and assist her in delivering the 2018 and 2021 Quantum Yoga teacher training courses in which she received the 500hr certification. George aims to challenge students in their yoga practice with playful compositions and extraordinary asanas whilst soothing them with her compassionate and peaceful nature.

Her laid-back vibes naturally led her to explore Yin Yoga; a passive practice that aspires to work deeper into the connective tissues of the body through long held poses. George travelled to Vancouver in 2019 to train with one of the pioneers of Yin Yoga; Bernie Clark who has an entertaining and informative teaching style that contrasts mythical stories and scientific insights. She has experienced that practicing a combination of Quantum and Yin Yoga maximises physical health by balancing strength, endurance, and flexibility whilst stabilising heart and mind.

Alice May

Alice started practising yoga in 2011, initially for the physical benefits, but soon felt how yoga was beginning to transform other aspects of her life; bringing grounding, vitality and a sense of ease.
Since completing her teacher training in Ashtanga Vinyasa with Yoga London in 2017 she has trained in Yin with Meditation as well as becoming an accredited Barre and Reformer Pilates teacher.

Alice teaches with an emphasis brought to the breath, allowing it to guide you through the whole sequence. Her classes embrace anatomical individuality and she encourages students to move intuitively, cultivating care and awareness so they can develop an expressive, fluid and fun practice.
Alice is a firm believer that Yoga is a simple way to generate more physical and mental space that can allow clarity, openness and a deeper connection to ourselves and the world around us.

Liv loves a fast paced vinyasa flow but also a warm hug of a Nurturing flow class.

Lucy Moore

Lucy completely and utterly fell in love with yoga when she lived in Manchester. She was surrounded by all types and styles and she went completely in. Her heart has always been in hot yoga. Just something about the release you get from sweating it out. She qualified to teach only to deepen her understanding however fell further for the science behind the methods.

Laura Tindle

Laura grew up in Loughborough and fell in love with yoga and meditation in 2016. With a background in Dance she craved something that would allow her to regain flexibility whilst building strength and Vinyasa yoga was it! In 2018 she travelled to Rishikesh, India to complete her teacher training in Ashtanga and Hatha Yoga and was lucky enough to teach in Sri Lanka. Her training combined with a degree in Human Biology and personal practice allowed her to gain a deeper understanding of the physical benefits yoga brings to the body and the emotional benefits it brings to the mind. Laura loves early morning classes which gently wake up and energise the body and mind, setting you up for the day.

Isabel Gondar

Isabel is from Portugal, she trained as a yoga teacher in February 2019 with Dylan Ayloo, in Sri Lanka. Her training was based in vinyasa power yoga with elements of Forrest yoga. She enjoys teaching vinyasa yoga classes mainly to beginners or people who wants to improve their yoga practice. Personally, she likes to practice intense power yoga although, there are times she really enjoys a less intense flow or restorative yoga.

Lucy Walton

I started hot yoga when I was working for a large food supplier. I was time poor and wanted to get a sweat on without having to think. Hot yoga gave me more than I could have imagined. I knew I wanted everyone to try this out and that why I opened the studio in Nov 2019.
My classes are fast paced and punchy, you’ll know you’ve done a class but leave on a high rather than exhausted!
