About Us
Our story.
We are Karly and Kris.
We are passionate about yoga, Pilates and all things wellbeing. And we want to share our passion with you.
Having known each other since school, we reconnected in 2022, became a couple and quickly realised we had a shared love of fitness and wellbeing that went way beyond just wanting to stay in shape. Kris introduced Karly to yoga and shared his dream of one day opening a yoga studio. Having been bit hard by the yoga bug and Kris’s infectious ideas, Karly embarked on her teacher training journey and hasn’t looked back since.
In 2024, dreams began to become a reality when we found the Studio space and decided to take the plunge. That’s where the Hot Yoga Heaven story really began.
Our philosophy.
We believe passionately in the power of yoga and Pilates to not only strengthen the body, but strengthen the mind too. We know, first hand, that these ancient disciplines can work literal wonders for your mind, body and soul and help you to feel simply heavenly.
We believe yoga is for everyone, no matter what your background, age, size, shape or ability - there is a style of yoga to suit you. That’s why we work with a variety of teachers and instructors who share our beliefs and values.
Our classes are unique. We have curated our studios to reflect the style of our classes. We have decorated by hand to make you feel both relaxed and energised. We have selected accompanying music that will not only enhance your movement but will take your workout to a whole new (heavenly) level.
We believe in our local area. We care about local people. And we are excited to be the first Hot yoga and Reformer Pilates studio in South Tyneside.
