Hot yoga classes held in immersive, heated, inflatable pods
�NOTTINGHAM city (Stanford St) NG1
�WEST BRIDGFORD (Roko gym) NG2 What is Hotpod Yoga?
(54)
Hotpod yoga launched in London in Jan 2013, and the franchise came to Notts in Sept 2014. Hotpod yoga is the first business to develop portable hot yoga studios. Where did it come from? Nick and Max (Hotpod founders) both came to yoga with a certain degree of skepticism, and the sort of preconceptions sadly held by so many: of a rather daunting activity dominated by mysticism, concerned largely wi
th chanting and tying yourself in knots. Thankfully, on stumbling across a great studio and some wonderful teachers they realised this wasn't the case. Instead they both found something that had a big impact on their lives. At first they appreciated increased flexibility and the sense of exertion – enjoying the burn of the muscles and a good sweat. But soon they began to see more. Some clarity of mind, some shifting of anxiety and a genuine and general feeling of calm. In short, they felt it made them happier, better people. That's pretty big. This experience is at the core of what we want to share. What's our mission? We understand that people remain a little afraid of yoga. Accessibility on all fronts is our response. There's no bad reason to begin yoga. If your objective is a six-pack or bendy hamstrings then so be it. The practice may develop into something more profound, or remain wholly physical. Either way, it’s a positive step towards greater wellbeing and we’re happy to pro-vide that, without judgement. What to expect? Stepping away from the outside world, from mobile phones, emails and the pace of every-day life, Hotpod classes have the specific aim of working the body and calming the mind in equal measure. Traditional postures are set up in our own sequences. Classes are dynamic and sweaty but equally a chance for calm - perfect tunes set the tone and lovely smells complete the tranquil atmosphere. Don’t expect chanting, don’t expect elitism - this is down-to-earth and fun but serious in its impact. Our expert teachers will get the heart pounding, get the sweat beading and work your whole body, right from the core.
Bringing the feelgood vibes this bank holiday Saturday. Whether this is a little 90 minute oasis of calm in your general holiday busy-ness, or setting the tone for a self-care kinda recharge over the long weekend. These bowls will bring your sparkle back ready for September.

So pleased to introduce you to Seyna who you can find in the West Bridgford studio on Tuesday evenings from tomorrow. Seyna is our resident Frenchie, from Aurillac in the Auvergne region of France - ask her about the umbrellas! ☂️She came to Nottingham in 2018 as an au pair, having studied hospitality and sales but wanting to become fluent in English. Yoga is her absolute passion and when she isn't in Nottingham she loves Barcelona, and dreams of Hawaii! She can't wait to share her love of yoga with you in the pod xx
It’s Mental Health Awareness Week and the 2024 focus theme is *Movement: Moving more for our mental health’*. We are so here for the uplifting, mood-boosting impact of moving your body in the magical space of the pod.
A study by researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital in the US, found that regular hot yoga classes are an effective treatment for symptoms of depression. The study showed that 44 per cent of adults who participated in at least two hot yoga classes per week had seen such a dramatic improvement in symptoms that they were no longer classed as clinically depressed.
We're so proud to be holding space to help improve mental health, one hot practise at a time 💜
Welcoming Pree to the teacher team in both City and Bridgford pods this week 💜 and we can't wait for you to get to know her. The barre in the background is a bit of a giveaway, Pree is a graduate dance artist from De Montfort University and trained in Astanga and Vinyasa yoga, so expect a strong and dynamic range of movements on the mat. Catch her from tomorrow in her new Monday 5pm slot in West Bridgford, ready to put you through your steps xx
So lovely to welcome back OG teacher, Sarah Wood 💜 who will be covering for Gemma Louella (off to Eurovision no less!) this Thursday in West Bridgford. I am sure our long time pod crew will whoop with delight to see her, and for those who are meeting Sarah for the first time, here is a little introduction xx
🟪Where were you born?
Stamford, although I was only there for about a year and always count Cambridgeshire as where I was brought up.
🟪Favourite Place on Earth
So far Ilha Grande in Brazil; although sun, sea and sand anywhere and I'm pretty happy.
🟪Why Yoga?
I'd dipped in and out of yoga for years, but really deepened my practice because of the long hours I was working. It made me take time out for me with no distractions, no matter what was going on it allowed me to listen to how my body was feeling and calm my mind down from the craziness of work and refocused me
🟪Anything Else
If I'm not on a mat, you will probably find me walking the dog, at the gym or in the pool. I'm not great at sitting still for any length of time!
Happy bank holiday 💜weekend we feel ya!

The 6 most common sleep positions are: back, side, fetal, log, starfish, freefall... and then a whole bunch of variations within those depending on where you put your arms! There is no absolute best position for good quality sleep as there are so many variable factors in the mix, but as a general rule if you are getting to sleep and staying asleep, you are onto a winner 💜
Sleep Sessions. Made for those who need a good night's sleep. (We all need a good night's sleep)
The dream: from restless to restful 💜 our Sleep Sessions slow it all down: weaving calming breath techniques with restorative and supported yoga postures, all drawn together with Nidra practise in the soothing space of the pod. Weekly sessions start Sunday 31st March at the West Bridgford pod and Tuesday 11th April in Nottingham City
Always sooo lovely to welcome Notts fam back… flashback to 2017, haven’t changed a bit 🤣🤣💜💜💜 💜💜💜

This is definitely our late Sunday vibe after a busy weekend and an afternoon wrap up with a Sunday Nurturing class. Feeling relaxed and about to sleep very well indeed xx #
It’s always a real joy holding weekend workshops 💜 a chance for our amazing teachers to share a bit of what is special to them in the context of their personal yoga experience and lineage. From creating content to personalising the space and transforming the pod, it is always from the heart. Thank you, Kat, for today; and also recently, Fiona, for her incredible Chakra Sound balancing. More beautiful experiences incoming, expect some high energy movement options too: check the Feb newsletter as it lands this week xx

Nurturing Flow, what Fridays (and Sundays) were made for. Full transparency: even when it’s not *midwinter *dark *cold *DryJanuary, this is how we start and end every weekend. Hotpod Nurturing, if you know you know 💜 and if you didn’t know, uh, you do now!
So if you have been to a class with us, it was more than likely 'hotpod flow', our signature class that combines a bit of everything: stretching, core strengthening, standing balance and breathwork. Hopefully you got to feel the benefits of the heat, and also the zen of the pod! And if you are wondering where to start, then this is a great one to get an all-round feel of where your yoga can take you 💜 in and out of the pod. Probably 80% of what we do is hotpod flow, so no shortage of classes to get involved. See you in the pod soon xx
Sweat that stress away, a recent study carried out by Massachusetts General Hospital shows that practising hot yoga can reduce the symptoms of depression by 50%. Interested to know more, check out our blog post 💜https://hotpodyoga.com/blog/hotyogareducesdepression/
💜 thank you for sharing your love of the pod with us, it means a lot xx

The ambient low lighting in the pod always feels wonderfully soothing, but somehow in the darkness of winter it feels even more enticing 💜 step into the pod with us, move your body and and soothe your soul xx
One hour in the pod can do so much good stuff, especially at the moment when your January might be looking a little lacklustre. Just moving your body, feeling the warmth, and carving out a little dedicated you-time can be a game changer 💜 #thathotpodfeeling #yoganottingham #yogawestbridgford #hotpodyoganotts
