Careers at Hotpod Yoga
Who we are.
Hotpod Yoga is Europe’s largest yoga business. Founded in 2013 by two childhood friends, Max Henderson (a strategy consultant) and Nick Higgins (a teacher), we want to take yoga to more people and places than ever before by doing two things:
Creating a yoga experience like no other. We’ve set out to design an extraordinary yoga studio and build a strong brand - in a cocooning pod, with carefully engineered sound and scents and a consistent 37° warmth: the perfect conditions to stretch out and deeply relax a diverse audience - providing intense and immersive classes for the expert and novice alike.
Empowering Hotpod owners all over the world. The Hotpod Yoga experience was designed to be shared. Not just with a broad range of students but with aspiring teachers: franchise owners who could share all of the brand’s infrastructure, passion and innovation, and hit the ground running with their own Hotpod business.
In 2025, there are over 60 Hotpod Yoga studios, and counting. They host thousands of classes a week, each one dispelling the idea that you have to be bendy to enjoy yoga. Or yogic to love Hotpod Yoga.
We’re also a B Corp. Whether it’s inspiring people to step into their first yoga class or empowering a teacher to leap into the world of entrepreneurship, we’re proud of the positive impact we have. But, beyond that, we always want to ensure that the way we do business is something we’re proud of too. We look to maximise our positive social and environmental impact and reduce any negative impact in all we do, through every role.
Our Mission & Vision
Aiming to destress the World through hot yoga
Escape's take on Hotpod Yoga
Hotpod Yoga is Europe’s largest yoga business, specialised in creating a blissful and immersive 21st-century yoga experience. From their inception in 2013, they’ve been disrupting the yoga industry by offering their signature hot yoga sessions inside inflatable, portable studios, which they pitch up in an array of unusual places. If you’re looking for inspiration to escape the 9-5 and pursue an idea you’re passionate about, look no further than Hotpod Yoga’s founders, Max and Nick. Starting out as a mobile yoga studio, they’ve now built a network of over 70 studios, all of which are managed by a dedicated tribe of teachers.

👩👧👧 Team members
Honestly - Nick & Max as the founders really have a talent for finding and nurturing the most wonderful set of individuals who come together to develop a very supportive and nurturing culture. I started life as a freelance resource nearly seven years ago. Even as a freelancer they were warm and welcoming and I quickly evolved into a full time member of the team. People of course come and go over time but what has been consistent is how wonderful each of the team members have been over that time.
🏖 Flexibility
Hotpod is very accommodating and flexible for individual circumstances. Whilst the office is super cool to work in there is also flexibility there to work from home or in one of our studios as needs must. As long as the work gets done you can be as flexible with start times, end times and split days as you need. Real feature that I have grown to love
⛑ Employee wellbeing
The whole management team really do support you in growth but also accommodate any life moments that pop up and need some sensitive care and thoughtful work adaptations.
Overall
I’ve worked in range of industries and many companies over nearly 20 years now and hands down the single best culture and team I’ve ever worked with. - H

👩👧👧 Team members
Hotpod Yoga is the first place I've worked where a team works so seamlessly together, there is a mix of skills and attributes across the team and everyone is seen as equally valuable as we all bring something different, and it is a really fun place to work!
📖 Opportunities to learn
We are always encouraged to learn new things and develop new skills
Overall
Hotpod Yoga is a happy and friendly place to work but also pushes you to develop and grow professionally. As the business continues to grow it presents a great opportunity for a really rich experience and to be part of something really exciting.
