PRIVATE SESSIONS

We are delighted to announce that our experienced and talented teachers are now providing you with the opportunity to book one-to-one yoga classes at Hot Glasgow. Your private class will start with a consultation allowing you to discuss injuries, personal goals, areas where you would like to focus and specifics that you would like to work. This will allow your instructor to tailor the session to really helping you grow in the ways that matter most to you.
Group yoga classes can be intimidating, so if you are reticent to try yoga, a private lesson can be a great way start.  There is the option to book sessions of 60 or 90 minutes; with or without heat; for a one off session or an ongoing development program.
Whether you want to perfect your favourite pose, train for a competition, increase mobility, heal injuries or just get to know your body better, a private session can be a great way to take your practice to the next level.  You can read more about our teachers backgrounds below and decide who you would like to work with.  To book your session or inquire please email info@hotyogaglasgow.com.

“I loved teaching from the first moment; the feeling of happiness that comes from seeing how this practice makes life better in all aspects for my students, not just on a physical level. It makes me proud to be able to help others. I try to give all of my passion to my students and I’m grateful to be able to help them change.”

Sara Gordon

Professional Dancer/ Choreographer Sara Gordon had recently been doing music videos and adverts for H&M, House of Fraser, Laura Mvula, Jungle, and Rae Morris. She practised yoga since 2003, graduated as a Bikram Teacher in 2011 and in 2015, Sara became one of the founding teachers of ‘Fierce Grace Yoga’, a hot yoga system based on classic Hatha, Bikram and Ashtanga.

“My teaching style is always evolving. Three qualities I always convey in class are Sthira (steadiness & alertness), Sukha (comfort & lightness), and focus on the Breath.”

Sam Vaherlehto

Sam is contemporary performer and dancer and yoga teacher and has practicing yoga for over 12 years. He completed the 26+2 teacher training program in August 2017 (250hr). He is also trained in vinyasa flow and intermediate hot yoga. Sams classes are strong, super focussed yet calming and full of wisdom.

I competed in Sweden in 2012 in the Nordic Yoga Championships and won, becoming first Finnish champion. Yos is part of my everyday existence, keeping me focused, flexible and free. Connecting me to body, mind and spirit.

I have practiced with many teachers in different countries, learning something different from each of them - in the Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, China, Germany, Israel and the United Kingdom. I feel a deep sense of gratitude for this experience and want to pass on this knowledge to others their yoga journey. I follow the mantra of:

‘The student is always the teacher, and the teacher is always the student’

Ann Shankly

Psychology graduate and grandmother Anne Shankly works as a support worker and completed her teacher training in 2018 with Fierce Grace in London. She is trained in the 26 + 2 series, fusion yoga, deep release and "In" yoga. With her lovely gentle teaching style and wicked sense of humour, Ann is our gal for keeping it real.Anne discovered Bikram in 2016. It came as a shock on her first class that she could touch her toes, but with consistent practice, her strength and flexibility improved beyond her expectations. The most challenging aspect was the workout her mind started to experience:“There’s something about standing sweating in what’s basically your underwear with 40 strangers that pushes you to become comfortable in your own vulnerability, no masks of clothes or makeup, just you, your mat and you’re perfectly, imperfect self.”

Jaclyn McCann

In 2018 Jaclyn completed my Inferno Hot Pilates (IHP) Teacher Training in Mallorca and proceeded to complete IHP level 2 the following year. In 2019 she followed her passion and continued her yoga journey, completing 200 hours of Vinyasa and Yin Yoga Teacher training. Still wanting to learn more, she completed another 200hrs of Sacred Geometry Vinyasa in the South of France Benjamin Sears and Tatiana Dipillo and continued to complete another 150 hours of training with them."I started practicing Bikram, January 2013 and it changed my life. I practiced 5/6 times weekly thinking of nothing other than my next class. It was the discipline aspect I liked, as it helped me focus on mindfulness, as I had struggled with panic attacks and anxiety. I loved how the practice made me feel mentally and physically.I’m keen to continually learn as much as I can for the overall well-being being for my mind, body, and spirit and I feel extremely grateful to be able to share my learnings with students, hopefully helping to cope with the stresses of life, My mantra I try and live by and wish for others is to have Peace in your mind, Strength in your body, Love in your heart. Namaste"

Don't just take our word for it

  • "I absolutely love Hot Yoga Glasgow in Battlefield. It has had such a positive impact on both my body and my mind. Physically, I’ve become stronger, more flexible, and feel healthier overall. Mentally, it helps me switch off from daily stresses, clear my head, and leave each class feeling calmer and more focused.The combination of the heat, movement, and mindfulness is challenging but incredibly rewarding. Every class leaves me feeling refreshed, energised, and proud of what I’ve achieved. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to improve their physical wellbeing while also taking care of their mental health."

  • "Hot Yoga Glasgow is amazing. From not being particularly flexible I am seeing and feeling a difference. I also feel much better within myself. The instructors are so knowledgeable and supportive of where every individual is in their own practice. I would highly recommend the classes and a lovely group of people x"

  • "I’ve been coming to class for about a year now and love it. I’ve done quite a few similar type classes over the years but hot yoga Glasgow is one of the best atmospheres! I feel motivated in each class but also like I’m learning proper form to keep my body healthy. I’m especially a fan of the hot pilates, I have a blast and have gotten stronger :)"

  • "Love, love, love - and more love! My husband and I have been coming here for a wee while now. We started (I think) with the £30 for 30 days offer and moved on to the 6 month membership. We just keep renewing and have no plans to stop. I don't really know where to start... The staff are exceptional. Every single one, past and present have been lovely to us. We have always been welcomed and given excellent service - whether at the check in desk or on the mat. There are many classes to choose from and the times suit us well. I love the fact that each instructor is different and unique, providing a lovely variety - and always a wonderful class. They are professional, knowledgeable, skilled, supportive, caring and fun. It's a really lovely environment. I can honestly say, I haven't regretted going once (although I have regretted missing classes). I wish I had discovered this years ago. The atmosphere has always been positive. Everyone has their goal and are supportive in achieving it together. From a quiet, focussed Bikram to an energetic HIT Pilates with the tunes blasting, we have enjoyed it all. There is a real sense of community. It doesn't really matter how good (or not) you are, different modifications are provided and you can choose challenge level. Also, no judgement if you need a rest. I find it a really accepting place. It's full of people with all different backgrounds and experiences. All together, learning, getting to know each other and improving their practice. I would highly recommend Hot Yoga Glasgow. Thanks xxx"

  • "Fantastic , welcoming and very calm studio. I’m semi retired and joined a couple of years ago on one of their promotional deals and now I’m hooked. I was a total beginner and found the teachers really welcoming and very knowledgeable. I stick to Bikram classes while I’m building my competence and with classes for this every morning and evening it’s easy to establish a routine that suits. There’s also a wide range of other classes on the schedule and I plan to try some of those in due course- especially now that I take a 6 monthly membership which makes this place great value for money."

  • "I received a hot yoga membership as a retirement gift and was initially apprehensive about trying it. However, my anxiety was unfounded and I attended five sessions within the first week.Regular practice of hot yoga has revealed several significant benefits. Research supports these findings; the warmer temperature facilitates muscle warming and increased blood flow which can enhance flexibility. Over time I have noticed improved physical performance. Additionally, research indicates that hot yoga can positively impact mental health. I have observed improvements in sleep quality and a sense of calm. Weight loss and enhanced cardiovascular fitness were also notable.The Battlefield studio is well-lit and modern, equipped with an advanced infrared heating system. The staff and class are welcoming and the instructors are highly skilled. It is beneficial to try various instructors and classes as they all contribute to personal performance and well-being. They are adept at gently adjusting posture. While the 90-minute Bikram class is intense, I find the 60-minute class more enjoyable. The 90-minute fusion yoga and deep release classes are exceptional. Ann’s deep release class is particularly popular due to the inclusion of a towel fan midway. Yin yoga with Toni: This class is truly relaxing. It’s held at a comfortable temperature, with soft yoga music playing in the background. The class involves gentle, passive poses with controlled breathing. Toni is excellent at subtly and gently adjusting your pose. The class definitely helps you feel calm and improves joint mobility.Sadly, his class is only available once a month."

  • "Love it. I went to try the inferno hot pilates class for the first. It was awesome. That atmosphere was incredible and everyone was so warm (no pun intended) and friendly. I had arrived early and had a chat with the manager and the instructor. They offered more information about the class and what it can do for me and gave me some tips on general wellbeing and nutrition."
