FAQs
How do I book?
All class purchases and registrations must be made in advance through our website or app.
I am not a Roko member, can I still come to the West Bridgford studio?
Yes, absolutely! You just need to sign in at reception when you arrive and the receptionist will let you through. (Please also remember to sign out, we need your movements for fire safety and regs)
I’m a Roko member, how do I get my 10% discount code?
Just zap an email to notts@hotpodyoga.com with your Roko membership number and we will send you your unique discount code which is valid against all class purchases for as long as you are a Roko member. Then when you choose which membership you want to buy just pop it in the voucher box when you get to checkout.
I’m not a Roko member, can I get a discount?
Maybe! We run a 10% discount for students and over-55s. Just zap an email to notts@hotpodyoga.com with a jpeg of your student card and we will send you your unique discount code which is valid against all class purchases; over 55s also get in touch. Then when you choose which membership you want to buy just pop it in the voucher box when you get to checkout.
Do I have to be a member if I just want to try and see if I like it first?
Becoming a Hotpod member is just the process of creating an account (you can use email and password or zip through with Facebook login), signing the disclaimer and buying your class pass or ‘membership’. There is no membership charge associated with this beyond which ever class pass (referred to as ‘membership’) that you choose to buy.
I’ve never been before, what pass should I get?
For newbies we have an Intro Offer which gives you 3 classes for £15 to be used in a 14 day period across any of our Notts studios.
What do I need to bring? What should I wear?
You just need a bottle of water and a towel to lay on your mat, you can hire one from us if you forget! We recommend shorts (with nets!) for men, and a t-shirt if you wish. Women should wear gym kit – legging/shorts and vest top (remember, it does get sweaty!)
Do you provide mats?
Yes, mats are provided – you’re welcome to bring your own, but there’s one there waiting for you (for free), just be sure to bring a towel to lay on your mat.
Do you have showers?
At our studio in West Bridgford we are able to use the Roko showers even if you are not a Roko member. Just grab a Roko locker card (in the basket to the right of the studio sink) and make your way to the mens/ladies changing rooms off the main reception area. Then just return the locker card to reception on your way out.
Is there somewhere safe to keep my belongings?
We don’t have locker facilities, but all of our studios are locked during class, so whilst you’re zipped away in the pod, you can be sure your belongings are safe.
Is there parking?
Yes, you can use the large free car park at Roko!
If you are driving a high-sided vehicle or van, please park in the first bay on the left as indicated by the signage, as you won’t fit under the height restricted barriers! As this is a smaller area it is strictly reserved for vans etc. only and fines are in place from 1st November 2017 from the car park management company if you park your car in that zone.
Where can I leave my bike?
The bike racks at Roko are to the right of the main reception and outside café area in the no-parking zone
Should I eat beforehand?
Try not to eat less than an hour before class.
How hot does it get?
37 degrees – hot enough to have a good sweat, but not so hot that you will leave us feeling faint.
I’ve never done Hot Yoga before will I be ok?
You will be absolutely fine! All classes are beginner to intermediate, take the class at your own pace and remember you can sit down and take a break whenever you need.
What’s the purpose of the pod?
The pod allows us to create a wonderful hot yoga studio anywhere. It’s an amazing, tranquil environment to practice yoga. And we like inflatables – doesn’t everyone?!
I’m on the waitlist for a class, what happens next?
As long as you have a valid class pass or active membership on your account, if a space opens up you will be added automatically and receive an email notification. If this is within 90 minutes of the class start time then you will need to confirm your place via your account
If I am late to class and the doors are locked, what happens?
We are super punctual on start times and lock the studio doors as class begins, this is for the security of everyone’s belongings in the studio and also to respect the pod full of people waiting to start class.
When are the studios open?
The studios are open 30 minutes before and after each class, except weekends when the Roko building opens at 8am for the 8.15am classes. During the class and between classes the studios are locked.
Can I book someone in on my account?
Unfortunately not, all customers must have their own unique account and class passes cannot be shared.
I’m having trouble booking classes using the app, help!
Please make sure you have signed the waiver by logging into your account on a web browser before trying to book via the app. If thats all done, make sure you’re logged into the right account! If you’re still struggling contact us!
Can I do Hotpod Yoga while pregnant?
Unfortunately not. The heat makes it quite high exertion and raises the body temperature – both not entirely safe when pregnant. So, we recommend finding a great pregnancy yoga class and then coming to see us after the baby’s born!!
Can children attend Hotpod Yoga?
We’re afraid not! No under 16s allowed, unfortunately. We will be looking at running run occasional kids classes though and will shout loudly when that goes live.
