🧘 About Heidi – Founder & Lead Teacher

With over 10 years’ experience, I am a Bikram Yoga (Hot Yoga 26) teacher and founder of Hot Lotus Wellbeing Hub in Stockport, Manchester. I specialise in Bikram Yoga and Inferno Hot Pilates, and discovered hot yoga while recovering from injury—experiencing first-hand its transformative benefits.

I completed an intensive 500-hour Bikram Yoga teacher training in Thailand and have been teaching since 2015. I was also one of the first teachers in the UK to introduce Inferno Hot Pilates, training in the USA with its creator.

My additional training in Barre, Aerial Yoga, and Pregnancy Yoga has shaped my inclusive, down-to-earth teaching style. My passion is creating supportive, non-intimidating environments where everyone feels welcome and able to enjoy the experience at their own pace.
