200-Hour Hot Yoga Teacher Training in London

From Student to Global-Trotting Yoga Teacher

The first time I went to Hot Yoga I didn’t know what I was doing. I’d barely heard of hot yoga, let alone understood what it meant to step into a studio heated “like a sauna.” I just showed up, curious, maybe a little lost, definitely not expecting much.

But then, the next day… something shifted.

My body felt wrecked in the best way possible. Muscles I didn’t even know I had were alive. There was a lightness, a kind of clarity I couldn’t explain. I kept going back. Again. And again. Somewhere between the sweat, the silence, and the struggle, I started to wonder: what if?

If you’re feeling that pull, Evolation Yoga’s 200-hour hot yoga teacher training in London is where that curiosity can turn into something real. It’s not just about getting certified—it’s about teaching with integrity, with skill, and with a deep respect for the practice.

Whether you’re coming from Chelsea, Shoreditch, Primrose Hill—or anywhere in the city—you’ll be training alongside others who felt the same unexpected spark.

Either if you're from Chelsea, Shoreditch, Primrose Hill, or anywhere else in the city, this training brings together serious students and aspiring teachers in one of the most comprehensive hot yoga teacher training programs in the UK.

From Business School to the Hot Room: How I Became a Bikram Yoga Teacher

I never planned to become a yoga teacher.

I studied business. My world was business development and entrepreneurship, not half-moon pose. But somehow, I found myself working with hot yoga studios, handling the behind-the-scenes stuff: operations, branding, growth strategy. I knew of Bikram yoga, but I hadn’t felt what it meant to step into a room heated to 105°F and teach through the same 26 postures, day after day.

A few months in, I signed up for a Bikram yoga teacher training. Just to understand the practice better. To deepen my own experience. I figured it might help me do my job more effectively, after all, I was working in the business of yoga.

That training changed everything.

I realized I’d been doing most of the postures incorrectly. I didn’t fully understand alignment, injury prevention, or even breath control. The training gave me the kind of in-depth education that completely rewired the way I practiced, and later, how I taught. It didn’t matter that I had been practicing for a year. The foundations were rebuilt from scratch.

And yes, eventually, I did start teaching. First casually, then full-time. I left the business side and began traveling the world, teaching yoga in the U.S., Europe, Asia. It became more than a job. It became a lifestyle. One I never knew It existed.

If you’re even a little curious—whether you're a regular practitioner or just starting—this experience is worth exploring. Especially if you’re considering Hot Yoga Teacher Training in London, Bikram Yoga Teacher Training in Los Angeles, or want the incredible freedom to complete your Bikram Yoga Teacher Training online with Evolation Yoga.

Why Consider a Bikram Yoga Teacher Training?

  • Deep foundation: The 26+2 series is not just repetitive, it’s methodical, healing, and transformative when done correctly.

  • Strong career potential: With more hot yoga studios opening around the world, demand for qualified teachers remains high.

  • Clarity and structure: The fixed sequence and heated room create space for self-mastery, physically, mentally, and emotionally.

A Teacher Training That’s Built for Real Life

At Evolation, we don’t believe in shortcuts. Teaching yoga, especially hot yoga, requires more than memorising a sequence or learning Sanskrit terms. You’ll need confidence, presence, and a deeper connection to the practice. That’s exactly what this course is built to give you.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Teach a full 60- or 90-minute hot yoga class with clarity and confidence

  • Understand and apply functional anatomy

  • Break down the 26 postures and 2 breathing exercises rooted in the Bikram lineage

  • Guide students safely and adapt classes for different needs

  • Explore yoga philosophy beyond surface-level quotes

  • Build a career that aligns with your values

All of this is delivered in a supportive, down-to-earth environment with experienced teachers who’ve walked the path themselves.

Why London?

London has long been a hub for yoga in Europe, diverse, creative, and full of energy. From Hackney to Primrose Hill, people come here to find more than just a class. They come to find community. This training puts you in the heart of that.

You won’t be tucked away at a retreat centre with no connection to real-world teaching. You’ll practise, train, and teach in actual studios, with real students, the way it should be.

Who This Is For

You don’t need to be the most flexible in the room. You don’t need to know every posture by name. You just need to be committed, to the practice, to learning, and to showing up for yourself and others.

This training is ideal if:

  • You’ve practiced hot yoga or Bikram Yoga and want to take the next step

  • You’re ready to lead classes, not just take them

  • You want to build a solid foundation in teaching, not just get a certificate

  • You live in London or the UK and are looking for a credible Yoga Alliance-approved course

  • You value honesty over hype

How Much Does It Cost?

We keep things simple. The full training costs between £3,200–£3,600, depending on how early you register. Payment plans are available. All your materials, manuals, and live instruction are included.

Compare this with similar hot yoga teacher training in places like Los Angeles, where fees can reach over £5,000, and you’ll see why so many European students are choosing London instead.

A Word About Hot Yoga

Hot yoga is more than just a sweaty workout. It demands focus, discipline, and presence. If you’ve ever left a class feeling more clear-headed than when you arrived, you already know its power.

Evolation’s roots are in the Bikram tradition, but we believe in evolution, not dogma. You’ll learn how to teach the sequence properly, with room to grow and adapt for different students and settings.

What Happens After You Graduate?

You’ll be certified at the 200-hour level, ready to register with Yoga Alliance. But more importantly, you’ll know how to teach.

Many of our graduates go on to teach in London studios. Some start their own classes in community centres, schools, or gyms. Others travel and teach around the world. What you do with it is up to you — but you’ll leave prepared, confident, and connected to a growing network of teachers.
