The End of In-Person Classes at Northern Lights Yoga - Postponed
Dear Students – We want to thank all of our students for the last 30 years of yoga in Helena. We feel so fortunate to have shared our love of yoga with you and that finally finding our "dream studio" to teach from was, for us, a true lifetime accomplishment. After a combined 86 years of teaching yoga, including 30 years in Helena and other places in MT, we now look forward to our "semi-retirement" including spending more time with our family and continuing our life-long practice of yoga. Also, these past 2 years have been very hard on our ability to keep the studio open. While a number of students have been very generous in helping us seek to attain the goal of paying the rent on the studio, we have not had enough students to cover the cost of rent, insurance, and other necessary expenses. We have taken care of these things personally for most of the last wo years After lengthy discussions amongst ourselves and some of our long-term students, we have concluded that we will be closing the Northern Lights Yoga studio effective April 30 this year. We will continue to teach our Zoom classes for at least the near future. We hope we have given you enough tools and inspiration to continue your practice of yoga. We will be selling most of our props and will open the studio for that purpose soon. We will not be taking any advance prop requests, please watch for our e-mail announcing the sale. Wishing you all the best. Thank you all for practicing yoga. With Love, Judy & Charles
We have been serving the Northern Rockies with a large variety of weekly classes and many weekend and week-long workshops for seventeen years. With over seventy-five years of combined Iyengar Yoga teaching experience, our most important gift is the high quality of our teaching and the large variety of classes that we offer.
