If you’re a yoga lover or just curious about trying something new in the heart of London, Hotpod Yoga’s newest studio in Elephant & Castle is set to become your new go-to wellness destination. Here are five things to know before you roll out your mat.

1. Free Yoga Sessions to Celebrate the Launch

To mark the opening, Hotpod Yoga is offering free taster classes from 26–29 April 2025. It’s the perfect opportunity to see what all the fuss is about—no strings attached. Just sign up on their website and book your spot before they fill up.

2. Heated, Immersive Yoga Pods

This isn’t your average yoga class. Sessions take place inside signature inflatable pods heated to 37°C, offering a deeply immersive experience. With calming scents, ambient beats, and a glowing purple light, it’s designed to help you fully disconnect and go deeper into your practice.

3. Affordable Introductory Offers

After the free weekend, newbies can snap up a 14-day unlimited yoga pass for just £25. Regular pricing is flexible too, with options like a five-class pass (£83), mini memberships (£48/month), or unlimited access (£120/month) – with 20% off for Founder’s Members if you sign up early.

4. Local Ownership, Global Vibes

The new studio is owned by Charl Ackerman, a local resident with roots in South Africa. Charl discovered Hotpod Yoga in Brixton and was so inspired he trained as a teacher and opened his own branch. His mission? To make yoga accessible to all—and get more men on the mat.

5. Part of a Rapidly Growing Yoga Movement

Hotpod Yoga is already the UK’s largest yoga brand, with over 60 studios and 130,000 active customers. The Elephant & Castle studio is the 10th in central London, cementing the area’s status as a dynamic and evolving wellness hub.
