Case Study: Hotpod Yoga builds a successful, scalable franchise and boosts franchisee earnings with TeamUp

What it takes to build a successful yoga franchise

Hotpod Yoga offers modern hot-yoga classes in inflatable, heated studios that can pop up in any free space, making yoga accessible and highly mobile. To scale the concept it developed a franchise model aimed at instructors and entrepreneurs, addressing the key challenge that many teachers have strong teaching skills but little business experience and can struggle with start‑up mistakes, operational pressures and unclear goals.

The franchise supplies a proven brand, operational systems, training and ongoing support alongside the versatile pod format so new owners can launch quickly and reduce risk. The result: faster, more sustainable starts, fewer costly errors and significant financial upside — Hotpod says some franchisees moved from roughly £12,000 a year as instructors to nearly £100,000 as franchise owners, with the potential for six‑figure earnings.
