About Us
We are turning up the heat @ 'The Hot Hub'🔥
At The Hot Hub we offer unique styles of Yoga and HIIT Pilates. We like it HOT !
Bikram Yoga is a set sequence of 26 postures & 2 breathing exercises. This series will allow you to 'switch off' from your day. You will be guided through your 90 minute practice in a room heated to 40°C !
Hot HIIT Pilates is a 60 minute class also in a room heated to 35°C. We start with Pilates principle postures then move into HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training). We finish with some Active Recovery. It's definitely a 'Workout" !
We are excited to introduce a little Yin into the Yang with a new addition to our schedule—a Yin Yoga class, happening every Tuesday evening at 6pm commencing 2nd January 2024.
Yin Yoga is a gentle yet profound practice that focuses on targeting the connective tissues in the body—such as ligaments, tendons, and fascia. Yin involves holding postures for an extended period, typically ranging from 3 to 5 minutes or even longer. It is a 60 minute non heated class.

What is Bikram Yoga ?
Bikram Yoga is a dynamic and invigorating style of yoga practice that combines traditional yoga postures with a controlled environment of elevated heat and humidity. Developed by Bikram Choudhury, this yoga style consists of a series of 26 postures and two breathing exercises, all carefully sequenced to enhance flexibility, strength and balance. Practiced in a room heated to around 40°C with a humidity of 40%, the heat allows for deeper stretching, detoxification and increased circulation.
Bikram Yoga not only challenges the body but also promotes mental clarity and focus. Whether you're a seasoned yogi or new to the practice, Bikram Yoga offers a unique and rewarding experience that can lead to increased vitality, a sense of accomplishment and offers the opportunity to improve overall well-being through the synergy of movement, breath and heat.
What is Hot HIIT Pilates ?
Elevate your fitness routine with Hot HIIT Pilates at The Hot Hub!
Hot HIIT Pilates is a dynamic fusion of traditional Pilates principles and high-intensity interval training (HIIT), all set in a heated environment, around 35°C. This workout is designed to challenge and transform your body by combining core-focused Pilates exercises with bursts of intense cardio. The heat amplifies the benefits, promoting increased flexibility, muscle suppleness, and toxin release.
Led by experienced instructors, our Hot HIIT Pilates sessions provide a challenging yet supportive environment, suitable for all fitness levels.
If you're seeking a calorie-burning, muscle-toning and invigorating experience, Hot HIIT Pilates is the perfect additional to your fitness journey.
What is Yin Yoga ?
Yin Yoga is suitable for all fitness levels. It is a meditative and deeply nourishing practice that focuses on releasing tension and promoting flexibility by targeting the connective tissues of the body. This 60 minute (non heated) practice involves holding gentle poses for an extended period, typically ranging from 3 to 5 minutes.
The philosophy behind Yin Yoga is rooted in traditional Chinese medicine and the concept of balancing the body's energy flow, often referred to as the meridian system. The practice stimulates the flow of chi or prana (life force) through these energy channels.
Yin and Yang cannot exist without each other. Both create a totality, a complete whole. Yin Yoga provides a unique and valuable counterbalance to our heated classes we offer here at The Hot Hub.
If you are looking to bring a little Yin into your Yang practice then come along to The Hub Hub where you can enjoy it all !!

Hello, I’m Kathy 🌻
Let me tell you a little about my story and why I’m excited to keep the heat turned up at The Hot Hub in Nambucca Heads.
Ever hear that people cross your path for a reason? Back in 2006, a friend and I were on a mission to try new things; Go-go dancing, hula-hooping, break-dancing, you name it, the list goes on. It was my friend who chose Bikram Yoga.
My first Bikram Yoga class ? I wont tell a lie – it was challenging.
My friend Fiona convinced me to stick with it. Fiona, if you’re reading this, I thank you from the bottom of my heart !
Fast forward and I found myself practicing right behind an instructor who had this amazing aura. She had this calming presence that was totally infectious. About 18 months later, I graduated from the Palm Desert 2009 Spring Training alongside 320 other amazing people; 9 weeks of Intensive Training, 2 x Bikram Yoga classes a day, daily posture clinics and more! Hands down one of the best and most memorable times of my life to date!
For me, Bikram Yoga is like pressing pause on the world. It taught me to think before reacting, it definitely helps me make better decisions. With a regular practice my body feels like it's a well oiled machine.
The real reward? Being part of peoples life changing journeys – it’s an absolute gift !
I remember Bikrams words: “What’s the most important thing in your life? ....Your life.”
I’m also about Hot HIIT Pilates. I do love the heat ! Fate led me to some awesome training with Amy Kreminski in Sydney. Amy has a long list of credentials as well as a wealth of knowledge.
In addition to my love for Bikram Yoga and Hot HIIT Pilates, I felt that we all need a little Yin in our lives, so I decided to expand my training in health and wellness by completing a Yin Yoga Teacher Training Course with Lisa Nelson at Yoga Bliss in 2022.
Yin and Yang cannot exist without each other - they are two opposite, yet complimentary energies. Come join me at The Hot Hub where we strive to deliver energetic balance and our passion for health and change comes together.

A little about Jess
I started practicing yoga in my late teens and to put it simply, was just drawn to it! My practice was initially a means to stay flexible for all the outdoor sports that I loved, but over the years my practice has become much more than just a tool to stay supple.
After some time in India, I realised there was another side to yoga and I now lean into the practice as a way to de-stress, cultivate self awareness, and practice mindfulness...(although I still love the physical perks of a strong practice and deep juicy stretches)!
In 2014 I found Hot Yoga and started a very committed practice to Power Vinyasa, Bikram and Yin. The benefits were incredible, and with my passion fully ignited, I completed my Yoga and Yin teacher training.
A few years later I decided to take a leap of faith and opened my own hot yoga studio. It was a whirlwind few years of teaching yoga, running a business, and learning some great life lessons. I loved every second of it, particularly seeing people connect to the practice and reap the rewards of what yoga has to offer.
Some years down the track, after selling the studio, I still love to roll out the mat for my own practice, but as well to guide others. I love teaching Yin to hold a space for people to simply 'drop in' to that zen state, something I feel we need more of these days. As well, I still love teaching super flowy hot-vinyasas where you really get a full menu of strength, cardio, sweat and deep opening stretches. Pure bliss!
