Our Story
The Hot Yoga Chapel is the brain-child of Zana Hunter; long time teacher and practitioner of classic Hot Yoga and lover of beautiful spaces! We pride ourselves in being unique in the Hot Yoga world for offering boutique studios providing classic Hot Yoga in special locations
These distinctive environments allow for more intimate classes where everyone is seen.
Each studio has its own personality, quirk and charm because of the Grade 2 listed buildings we have chosen.
South Chapel is our first baby; a stunning Victorian chapel within Ilkley Cemetery, minutes walk from Ilkley Town centre.
Our Leeds studio is in the old The Engine House in Round Foundry minutes walk from Leeds City Centre.
Both studios have a dedicated hot room with state of the art heating systems for Hot Yoga which reach 40-42 degrees.
The Chapel in Ilkley also has a beautiful second shala space for workshops, retreats and much more.
We believe all students are equal and welcome everyone from all walks of life - we are proud of our diverse community of students from all backgrounds, ethnicities and genders and support the LBTQ community. At The Hot Yoga Chapel everyone is a yogi.
Original Hot Yoga is especially powerful for beginners as the heat and structure of the class allows students to quickly see and measure progress and improvements.
We are a vegan business; we use planet-friendly cleaning products and sell only plant-based food/drink in our retail space.
Our teachers are fully qualified Registered Yoga Alliance Certified teachers with many years of experience teaching hot yoga. We have each experienced how yoga has changed our own lives for the better and are passionate about sharing the gift of yoga from an authentic and honest place. We have helped thousands of students to improve their health and wellbeing through hot yoga over the years and continue to be inspired by the practice.
The teacher is always the student & the student is always the teacher.
