Helena is home to a wide range of yoga studios and offerings, but they all have one thing in common. Walk into any yoga studio in town, you’ll be met with warm smiles and welcoming conversation. People are glad to be there, so, they’re glad you’re there too. Whether you step into the melty heat of Helena Hot Yoga or the chique minimalist space of The Loft, you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the genuine hospitality of everyone in the room.
