Stacey Wilkins
Stacey turned to yoga purely for the physical benefits. She became hooked very quickly and before she knew it was signed up for teacher training. Stacey enjoys seeing students working hard and sweating during class but above all else has realised the mental benefits are why she continues to show up and teach. She loves nothing more than seeing the lovely relaxed faces of her students at the end of class.
Mrs Dawn Alderson

Marie Rees
Marie qualified as an Ashtanga vinyasa instructor in September 2022. She fell in love with the amazing life changing journey that is yoga 8 years ago and never looked back! My aim is to share this life changing, transformational practice with anyone who wishes to learn!
Helen Arthurs
Helen first started yoga to help her manage epilepsy as stress was a major trigger. Yoga has had such a positive impact in her life. When Helen first tried hot pod she was hooked from the first class & has been coming to pod for quite a few years now and it was what inspired her to do the Teacher Training and share her love of Yoga.

the founder
Ana Chidzoy
Ana was born and raised in Swansea, she started her career as as dancer and then went on (somewhat reluctantly at first) to do her yoga teacher training. Immediately however she fell in love with the practice and has gone on to train and teach around the world. Ana first heard about Hotpod Yoga in 2013, and went on to become the first Hotpod Yoga franchisee, launching in Swansea to a fantastic reception. Following the success of Hotpod Yoga Swansea, in January 2015 the offering expanded – with further pods in Carmarthen and Haverfordwest launching.
