Timetable at Hotpod Yoga Morpeth

Having been involved in many sports all his life, most particularly surfing Peter came to yoga as a means to increase mobility, reduce recovery time and maintain performance. The more he practiced the more he realised the mental benefits were as powerful as the physical.

Allie had experienced many types of yoga for many years- being drawn to the movement and mental focus it gave. As someone with psoriatic arthritis having experienced the additional heat of the pod she really noticed the benefits it brought to her joints and skin. When the chance arose to train with Hotpod Yoga she was so impressed by the quality of teaching she came back and inspired Peter to train too, and set about launching their very own Hotpod Yoga in Morpeth

Jules first tried hot yoga in 2014 after looking for a less impactful form of exercise following years of running and developing "crunchy knees". Jules was instantly hooked and embarked on a training course at the start of 2017. After graduating she set up her own yoga classes in local village halls and taught at the studio where she trained.
​
Balancing a successful career in logistics became increasingly difficult and she found myself drawn more and more to teaching yoga as it gave such a buzz. Jules soon made the decision to walk away from her logistics career to teach yoga full time and has never looked back. She misses having a fancy company car but that's the only thing!

In 2016, Zoe trained in the foot of the Himalayas, India and has been teaching in a variety of styles since. Her favourite thing about yoga is the warm buzz at the end of the class when everyone has messy hair, big smiles and are feeling more human. Zoe tends to match her style and sequences to the energy of the room and always encourage students to listen to how they feel both mentally and within their bodies. She teaches in an inclusive, friendly and relaxed manner and it’s always her goal to make people laugh and feel at home.

Sue began practicing yoga in 2016. Initially Sue used yoga as a restorative practice whilst working within the fitness industry but quickly came to realise the multifaceted nature of yoga.

It was when Sue moved into a stressful corporate job that the true benefits of yoga shone through, the connection between breath, body and mind. Sue found that after every session whether it be challenging or restorative she felt calm and centered. It changed her mindset and life in so many ways, it was then she decided she wanted to share what she had learned and help others see the benefits yoga can have on their everyday lives.

Having little prior yoga experience, Nicola attended her first Hotpod class in 2015 not quite knowing what to expect. She quickly began to develop a love of fluid movement in addition to the physical challenge of practicing in the heat.
Completing her teacher training in 2022, Nicola is keen to share the positive mental and physical benefits that she believes yoga can offer for anyone open to spending time on the mat.
“My approach is inclusive and light-hearted, encouraging an element of physical challenge and exploration to support students in building strength, developing flexibility and creating a balance of body and mind”

James is an accredited sound therapist and conscious connected breathwork teacher, who has long been interested in tapping into naturally altered states of consciousness for therapeutic benefit. His aim: To calm the mind and quieten the inner self-critic by delivering experiences that hack the body and brain to then receive personal insights.
This has been an underlying motivation in his practise for many years, though his urge to share these techniques with others came about during lockdown when he first discovered cold water immersion. Facing this challenge consistently led him to strive for greater emotional resilience, which he knew was lacking from as far back as his formative years. Now he is driven to share his knowledge and techniques with others, helping them navigate their own transformative journeys with support and encouragement.

Poppy fell in love with Yoga after her first local class, resonating deeply with the connection to spirit that the practice offers.

Poppy really appreciates the meditative and energetic elements of Yoga, encouraging the connection with breath and energy throughout her classes.

After many years of working in the fitness industry, Rachel thought it was about time she started to focus less on the high impact classes and more on winding down, and restoration for herself, while also promoting this to her class members.

She delved into Pilates and a certification, while also practicing yoga herself. She soon developed a deeper appreciation for yoga and attained her 200 hour certification online. After about 6 months of teaching, she wanted to enhance her practice more and went off to India completing another 200 hours. After finding a true love for yoga in India she went back 4 months later to practice, travel, and completed a 300 hours. Within this time she was able to spend a lot of time learning from other teachers, as well as taking part in different styles of classes.

Rachel is a very enthusiastic and creative teacher. She is passionate within her styles of teaching, she enjoys taking part in and teaching, vinyasa, hatha and yin style classes. She believes that we all should have a balance within us, and she will encourage you to take what you need the most from her practice.

Andrew discovered yoga through lockdown, initially as a way to move his body and challenge it in a different way. What followed was a deeper understanding of how yoga could carve out space in his busy life and help him to reflect and pause. As a teacher by trade, he decided to embark on his yoga teacher training so that he could share his love of movement and breath with others.

Having practiced yoga for over 20 years I love the variation it can offer depending on what I need. Whether this is a challenging dynamic flow or a little TLC at a slower nurturing pace.
Over the years I have tried various ‘activities’ but yoga has remained my constant.
I enjoy the physical effects of building strength and flexibility in my body but also value the benefits of calming and focusing the mind.
Being a busy working mum I reached a point of deciding it was time for something for myself and embarked on my Yoga teacher training in 2024.
I hope to share with you some of the benefits I enjoy from yoga of strengthening the body while calming and focusing the mind.
