Ella and Fleur Hot Yoga is a story of transformation, resilience, and passion, born from a deep-rooted love for yoga and holistic wellness.

Our journey began with two very different paths that converged on the mat. Ian, a former semi-professional athlete, discovered yoga as a powerful tool to prolong his playing career and prevent injury. Fleur, with a background in dance and the wear and tear of high-impact fitness, found in yoga a space for healing, balance, and self-connection.

What started as mobile yoga classes in Swindon and Cheltenham soon evolved into something far greater. We took a leap of faith and acquired a derelict building on Pittville Street, pouring our hearts (and a lot of hard work) into transforming it from the ground up, supported by the unwavering help of our family.

Throughout this journey, we’ve built more than a studio, we've cultivated a warm, vibrant community, supported by an incredible team of teachers and wellness professionals who share our commitment to offering a truly unique and inclusive experience for the people of Gloucestershire.

Today, life continues to be a balancing act. Fleur is currently pursuing a degree in midwifery, while Ian works full-time at Hartpury College, all while raising our four amazing children: Rosie (11), identical twins Olivia and Grace (8), and our youngest, Toby (4).

Ella and Fleur Hot Yoga is more than just a studio, it’s a testament to growth, family, and the incredible power of movement to change lives.

Long before yoga entered the picture, Ian and Fleur’s paths were already woven together, childhood friends who grew up in Swindon and attended the same school. Their shared journey eventually led them to discover yoga, not just as a practice, but as a way of life.

Our “why” is rooted in a genuine passion to share the transformative power of yoga and wellness. For us, it’s not just about physical fitness, it’s about supporting long-term well-being, preventing injury, and cultivating a deep connection to self. We've experienced firsthand the challenges our clients face, and it's from that understanding that we offer real, compassionate guidance to help others thrive.

The journey to creating Ella and Fleur Hot Yoga has been one built on love, resilience, and community. From converting a derelict space into a beautiful boutique studio to welcoming thousands of students through our doors, we’ve been incredibly fortunate to have the support of our family, friends, and the amazing people who walk through our studio every day.

We are endlessly grateful to our team, our clients, and every supporter who has helped shape the warm, welcoming atmosphere that defines Ella and Fleur Hot Yoga.
