First Team visit Hotpod Yoga York in Dunnington

Several First Team players and staff visited Hotpod Yoga York in Dunnington this week as part of their recovery processes.

Hotpod Yoga York is operated by couple Victoria Chan and Oli Milroy, who run sessions within an immersive 37 degree heat pod filled with calming scents.

Their welcoming open studio space boasts giant colourful bay windows, high ceilings, and is well-equipped with WC, shower and changing facilities too.

Players Harrison Male, Paddy McLaughlin, Billy Chadwick, Ricky Aguiar, Joe Felix, Mo Fadera, Malachi Fagan-Walcott took part in a 75 minute session with Victoria.

Speaking on how the session benefits our first team players, Oli revealed: “There’s lots of benefits in terms of the heat.

“It takes pressure off the joints, improves circulation, and can really help mitigate any potential injuries that may have accumulated from impact.

“It’s a low impact form of training so it’s also good for mental health, as well as the body.

“It takes your mind back to the present moment and helps take the pressure off the mental game as well as the physical game.”
