Hotpod Yoga Takes on Mental Health Week

Mental health awareness week (12th – 18th May) is upon us and it's time we get serious about our feelings. With the constant rise in social media consumption and the cruelty of the media, it's vital we understand how we can support our mental health. Hotpod Yoga in Birmingham are takling the week head on and, in collaboration with CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably), are helping locals support the worthy cause.

Hot yoga is proven to be a powerful antidote to symptoms of stress and depression with 44% of adults who regularly participate registering a dramatic improvement in symptoms. Hotpod's support for CALM will be through a series of fundraising activities at its city centre-based studio. Hotpod will be offering a new 'CALM Hotpod Flow' class on May 18th with 100% of the proceeds going to CALM.

The special-edition class will combine the most relaxing elements of signature Hotpod Flow classes and 'Rest & Restore' sessions, which are all about hitting 'pause' and are perfect for anyone who finds it hard to slow down and switch off. Turning up the dial on a typical yoga class and deepening the effect, Hotpod Yoga is renowned for its immersive, unintimidating experience that brings together soothing heat, dim, glowing lights with a distinct and ambient purple hue, and calming music, all designed to relax and revitalise. This all takes place in the cocoon-like environment of the pod: a setting that transports its customers a million miles away from the everyday, restoring both body and mind.

During the week, Hotpod Yoga Birmingham will also be offering an exclusive CALM Class Pack, which will entitle patrons to three classes for just £30, with 50% of the proceeds shared with CALM - the charity who provide life-saving services, information and advice to those struggling with life, helping them to navigate the issues that can make us feel miserable.

Kelly and Liberty, owners of Hotpod Yoga Birmingham comments: "it is a timely opportunity to focus on the importance of looking after our mental health, but it also provides a platform that encourages the establishing of regular, positive habits that can support our mental, and physical, wellbeing."

Hotpod Yoga, the UK's biggest yoga business, has established a nationwide partnership with CALM and is aiming to raise £10,000 during Mental Health Awareness Week.
