Obsessed with this place!! Such friendly staff and a beautiful studio. They offer a wide range of classes depending on what you are looking for but my personal favorite is Yin with Cassandra. It is such a relaxing class to really focus on meditation and flexibility, plus Cassandra reads poetry about stillness and mindfulness throughout the 75 minute class. It is such a beautiful class🥰
Excited to be a part of the Helio’s community💗

This studio is excellent- H26 aka Bikram yoga is done the way it’s intended to be- in a hot and humid space! The instructors are phenomenal and the studio is very clean and pleasantly hot 😊

Helios is truly a gem! The community here is incredibly welcoming and friendly, creating a warm and supportive environment for everyone. It's just what this area needed.
With a wide range of classes, there's something for everyone here. To name a few, "Power" challenges my body, "H26" challenges my endurance, and "Flow" challenges my mind.
I cannot stress the benefits of hot yoga enough. I had hip labrum surgery in January, and was told it would take a year to fully recover. It's July now and I’ve regained my full range of motion and healed remarkably well. I couldn’t be happier with my progress and the positive impact this studio has had on my recovery. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a caring, uplifting place to practice yoga!

I have been to many yoga classes and studios around the world and this studio is so special! The staff and owners are so welcoming. The studio is very clean, I love the heated floors, the lighting, the classes are great for all levels and the "flows" of each class leave me feeling centered and balanced as a busy entrepreneur. I have tried the Flow, Flex and Fusion classes and all are different that you can mix up your practice but still come out with that gooey, relaxed vibe. I also love that even if you are not the most flexible YOGI type, you can still participate in the classes with zero judgement. The studio is also conveniently located with a large parking lot which is always a plus. Thank you Helios Yoga for coming to town and bringing such an uplifting community for us overworked business owners!

Every part of the experience at Helios Hot Yoga is curated to perfection. The atmosphere is welcoming, impeccably clean, bright and modern. I just got out of a Flow class. It was my first ever hot yoga class, and it flipped the experience I expected of hot yoga on its head. The temperature and humidity is in perfect balance and lends itself to the ultimate mind and body opening experience (and mine right now feel very relaxed and optimistic). I look forward to returning!

Wonderful place to practice 26/2 (Bikram) in the capital district! Their well engineered studio has the temperature (infrared heat) and humidity perfectly controlled. My joints really appreciate the cushioned flooring and their specialized heating system. The studio is conveniently located, is very clean, and organized. They have the most experienced and encouraging 26/2 teachers. Their teaching style guide you to take care of yourself physically, mentally and emotionally in a compassionate and loving way during the practice and when you’re off your mat. Thanks Poul, Michael, and Hudson for creating this special studio!

Totally love Helios Hot Yoga! Each class is a great therapeutic workout and helps me relax, let go of my physical pain and mentally reset! Instructors are totally amazing about working with each student to achieve their personal best, and being supportively present for each of their students. Love seeing the owners of the Studio in many of the classes. Truly a wonderful yoga community!

Exquisite. Helios Yoga is such a gem of a studio! Top-notch in every way: expert instruction that is also welcoming of every body. Spotless, wonderful radiant heat, lighting and sound that creates atmosphere that invites me to do my best while easing mind chatter.
I always feel better when I leave the studio and I’m grateful for the old friends and new friends in the Helios Community.

After just a few weeks, I’m hooked on hot yoga at Helios. The instructors are great, people are friendly and the studio is super clean. Last year, I learned I had a disc herniation and have already started experiencing an incredible improvement in pain reduction and nerve tingling.

Beautiful new studio and fantastic staff! Have loved every class. Has been such a delight to be a member, especially as it gets colder. Highly recommend! My only recommendation is be sure to bring a change of clothes/towel as there are no showers on site.

I took my first class here this morning with Morgan and it was awesome! (9am flex on Sunday) Perfect amount of flow and stretch, very inclusive of all levels…
The owners are so kind and friendly, and the vibe is overall wonderful!

Having taken advantage of the new student special ($79 for two weeks unlimited), the many classes I’ve experienced have been varied and high quality. H26 is the traditional Bikram sequence, which I took with Bethany (she’s baaaack!). The heat was definitely cranked up to 105 and, not having taken such a class in a few years, it was clear that I have some reacclimating to do. The infrared heat is different because the air doesn’t feel suffocating, yet it is hot in the room. The Flex classes with Emily and Morgan were the most gentle and focused on flexibility (as opposed to strength training as the title might imply). The heat was lowest in the Flex classes. The Fusion classes (Emily & Bethany) are a combo of Bikram poses mixed in with Vinyasa flow-type sequences. The heat in Fusion was higher in Bethany’s than Emily’s class. I haven’t been to other instructors’ classes there yet. The space is nice and clean and clutter-free. There is multi-colored lighting in the studio which is a nice way to tap into different emotions-thoughts. There are rectangular foam blocks on the walls of the studio which I think are for practicing handstands (not sure). Owners Michael and Paul have been very welcoming and excited about their new business. Bathrooms could use some hooks and shelves for putting your stuff on while getting changed. I plan to continue enjoying all that Helios has to offer, and encourage all to give it a try!

This place takes hot yoga to the next level! Using infrared heat is a game changer-the studio is hot but also the air feels light and more breathable than traditional heat. I took the fusion class and it was such a great workout. The instructor’s positive energy is contagious. The studio itself is a beautiful and relaxing place for your practice. I’m big on tracking my workouts and In comparison to other hot yoga studio workouts I have done, I burned about 100 more calories. I will definitely be back!
