I’m Irene Chapple, co-founder and director of Better Aotearoa, an impact agency for social good. My background is in filmmaking, television, journalism, and strategic communications, both in New Zealand and the UK. I’ve been practicing in the hot room for more than 15 years, starting with hot yoga in London and New York before discovering Hot Pilates in New Zealand. My hot room practice—an incredible mix of mental and physical challenge—has supported me through numerous life events, including major injury, pregnancy, and parenting. I love how Hot Pilates combines fun with a tough workout, and I’m honored to teach it to others!
