Abbie's teaching style.
Strong, playful, expansive.

About Abbie.
My relationship with yoga changes every day, and that's exactly why I love it. One day I'm wanting a twisty, turny flow, and the next I'm perfectly happy melting into Pigeon Pose for what feels like forever. I love that yoga doesn't have to be one thing, it can meet you exactly where you are.
What I especially love about teaching is getting to share that feeling with other people. Watching someone surprise themselves or find a bit of confidence, or simply enjoy quietening down their mind. Yoga has taught me so much already, but I’m constantly learning more about my body, my mind, and the philosophy behind the practice, and I love bringing those little snippets into my classes too.

Hannah's teaching style.
Calming, welcoming, uplifting.

About Hannah.
I have been teaching yoga for 3 years, but my love affair began around 7 years ago when I lived and worked in London. Burnt out and overwhelmed, I used yoga as a tool to support my mental health and now love to help others explore the life changing magic of yoga ✨
I would describe my classes as inclusive and supportive, and have been told they’re like a big hug. I teach vinyasa, aerial and restorative yoga, as well being a Nutritional Therapist - you’ll always find some gut-loving postures in my classes!

Andrew's teaching style.
Balanced, focused, energetic.

About Andrew.
I’ve been practicing yoga for around 8 years now and nothing beats a hot vinyasa flow. Switching off from the outside world and connecting with the body just keeps me coming back to the mat time and time again. Having practiced yoga at many retreats in different countries by some lovely teachers I’m passing this knowledge on. My classes are open for all to enjoy. Look forward to seeing you soon.

Lucy's teaching style.
Encouraging, calm, strong.

About Lucy.
I fell in love with yoga soon after returning to Warwickshire following my Master’s Degree in Music. More than 20 years later, it’s still where I switch off from a busy life, challenge myself and keep learning. A love of dynamic Vinyasa, Ashtanga and Rocket shapes my own practice. Expect calm, supportive teaching with a strong focus on technique and an eye for detail, alongside plenty of encouragement to help you build confidence, move well and discover just how capable you are.

Lauren's teaching style.
Energetic, strong, balanced.

About Lauren.
I’m a qualified Yoga and Pilates instructor alongside my career as a data analyst (an unusual combination, but it keeps life interesting!)
I started practising yoga at my local Hotpod studio about three years ago, where I built a real sense of community and made some great friends. It was also where I decided to do my teacher training. When I started teaching at Hotpod it felt like a real full-circle moment, being able to guide new students, as well as the friends I’d made along the way, through their own yoga practice.
I’m happiest when I’m moving, whether that’s running, lifting weights, yoga or Pilates. Name a sport and I have probably tried it! If I’m not on the mat or in the gym, you’ll probably find me walking my dog, in an overpriced coffee shop or reading a book.

Yalaina's teaching style.
Breath-led, mindful, authentic.

About Yalaina.
My teaching is rooted in the belief that yoga is a space to come home to yourself. Through breath-led movement, mindful sequencing and an authentic approach, I encourage you to move in a way that feels supportive for your body. Whether you’re looking to build strength, improve mobility or simply slow down, my classes offer a chance to breathe, reset and reconnect.

Holly's teaching style.
Welcoming, nurturing, empowering.

About Holly.
For Holly, yoga is so much more than movement—it's a space to slow down, reconnect and come home to yourself. She discovered yoga through her own love of health and wellbeing and quickly realised its power to build not only strength and flexibility, but confidence, resilience and inner calm. Since then, she's been passionate about helping others experience those same benefits, creating classes that leave people feeling stronger, lighter and more grounded than when they arrived. When she's not teaching in the studio, Holly loves taking yoga outdoors, leading paddleboard yoga, organising wellness retreats and creating opportunities for people to connect with movement, nature and themselves.

Georgia's teaching style.
Inclusive, encouraging, creative.

What members love.
I have been practicing yoga for over ten years and have trained in several different styles. I love to invite people to move in a way that feels good to each individual and gives them the space to connect and explore themselves.

Maria's teaching style.
Playful, creative, challenging.

About Maria.
A yoga teacher and PT levels 2 & 3 since 2007. I have a dance and competitive swimming back ground & I love athletics and running. I have been in the fitness industry for almost 20 Years and teaching at Hotpod yoga studios for 6 years.
I love that yoga can give you that "freedom of speech" with the body. To express and to be creative. I love that the concept of the pod is immersive and you can always leave the outside world for just that hour and to be at one with yourself.
When I'm not teaching yoga I am a mom to 3 children, 4 cats and probably training in the gym somewhere. I love eating out and exploring new places to travel. I'd love to see you on the mat and share my experience of the pod with you.

Michaela's teaching style.
Balanced, energised, flowing.

About Michaela.
I started my own yoga journey with Hotpod and found the immersive experience of the pod the best way to let me switch off and focus on just myself and my body. After a few years of regular practice, I chose to go to India to train as a teacher in an environment completely out of my comfort zone. Whilst up in the Himalayas I learned so much more about yoga than I could have imagined and coming home I couldn’t wait to share that with people. Coming back to teach at Hotpod has allowed me to truly integrate my classes with the usual intensity and flows you expect with the additions of Kriya and extra guided breathwork and meditation to truly offer a balanced yoga journey.

Millie's teaching style.
Welcoming, grounding, powerful.

About Millie.
My classes are all about creating a welcoming, judgment-free space where everyone feels comfortable, no matter their experience. Whether you’re looking to build strength, improve flexibility, de-stress after a busy day, or simply take some time for yourself, I’d love to have you on the mat. My hope is that you leave each class feeling calmer, stronger, and a little more connected to yourself.

Laura's teaching style.
Balanced, creative, grounding.

About Laura.
I first took up yoga around seven years ago in an attempt to fix all of my injuries from years of competitive trampolining. Within a couple of sessions I was hooked, and while I thoroughly enjoyed the physical practice during the sessions, it was the light and floaty feeling that came after the class that had me returning week after week! Fast forward a couple of years and I discovered HotPod. The heat and the atmosphere added a whole new dimension to my practice and I fell in love with yoga all over again! I completed my Yoga Teacher Training in March 2025, and I love that I now have the opportunity to share my passion for yoga with others. I like to play around with arm balances and postures that build strength, but also appreciate a lovely bit of relaxation - variety is the spice of life, after all!

Sophie's teaching style.
Mobility, functional, dynamic.

About Sophie.
I found yoga in Asia whilst traveling many years ago and it opened up a new world of 'connecting with yourself' through movement and breath. It has brought me a sense of purpose, a passion, and a tool to always come back to for my physical and mental health. Over the past few years I have focused on a more functional practice which helps build strength whilst improving joint stability and overall mobility for everyday life.

Holly's teaching style.
Welcoming, supportive, chilled.

About Holly.
My mum introduced me to yoga at 15, tagging along to her local leisure centre class to help me with my GCSE exam stress and to do a bit of exercise. Since then, for the past 13 years, yoga has been a constant positive influence in my life.
I have discovered incredible local teachers, classes and studios and since moving to the West Midlands 5 years ago, found my new home at Hotpod.
For me, yoga allows me to switch off from the outside world for that special hour and find a calmness that my mind doesn’t find elsewhere. The physical benefits also support my movement and recovery in my exercise off of the mat. This has led me to recently complete my YTT to help to bring these benefits to others, and allow students to find their own hour of calm within their busy, modern lives.
When I’m not on the mat, you can find me walking my Whippet, running round a Netball court or yapping with my friends over a coffee.
