Actually found this studio through a new instructor who had a Yelp! Profile for her yoga and fitness classes. So happy I found this place! I come to Helena at least 2-3 times a year and it is so nice to know I have a place to go outside of the hotel gym. I tried the Barre class with Hannah and what a great workout! A little different in the sign up, I am used to having to go online or call in first but the studio reached out to my inquiry and said just come on by, love that I can pop in for a class I want versus having to make sure there is room. The studio is located on the 2nd floor and what a great space! Open and plenty of room to spread out for the class. Hannah definitely worked us out hard and love that she every once in awhile would remind us to smile. Putting a smile on your face pushes you through for sure! Drop in price is $10 what a great deal! If you are a student it looks like drop in is only $8. They also have other options for memberships if you want unlimited or you can by 10 for $80. Very good pricing. I will for sure be back for more classes the next time I am in town, I really want to try their hot yoga for sure.

I forgot to add one more thing that should be known and should have been addressed when it kept…read morehappening, daily. I recently had to have a Cervical Spinal Fusion done in my neck. Want to know why? The damage to my neck and spine happened at Helena High. I would have my head slammed and kicked into my locker, and this happened every, single day I was there. I would be attempting to put my books and schoolwork away and wouldn't see them coming for me. Then WHAM! So yes, my neck and spine are incredibly damaged now. I already have a Lumbar Spinal Fusion that is failed, and that was caused at Helena High, as well. I am now on Disability, since I can no longer walk or turn my head and am in constant chronic pain. Probably not much longer though, since Trump has vowed to destroy Disability, Social Security and Welfare. That is what America voted for, however. My Neurosurgeon here in Minnesota, told me that the damage was totally caused by my time at Helena High, and specifically by having my head slammed or kicked into my locker every day. I know many will insist that I am exaggerating or making it up. Nope! Many, many other students and teachers were witness to it, so it can be proven true. Am I supposed to be ticked off about it? Probably. Nothing, not one thing was ever done about it. Even though it was reported to the principal and front office, I never even got an acknowledgement that it was actually happening. They chose to ignore me. What? Am I supposed to just forget that it happened? Well, I have tried, but you cannot. It stays with you for life. Why the Helena School Board allows that kind of behaviour, I do not know. Maybe it has changed by now, and bullying and attempting to kill other students is frowned upon. I somehow highly doubt that though. I will never receive an apology from them, I know that. I mean, they condoned that type of thing themselves. Did those in Helena really think that I would just forget? Not going to happen. Now that I am getting elderly and am disabled by what happened to me in Helena, I am going to tell the world how people treat others in that town and at the public schools. I wouldn't wish what happened to me, on my worst enemy. It is just obscene, really. Then, on top of all that, Montana chooses to become one of the Hate States recently. That is how it is known as here, where I live now. Good. I want others to know my story and know that although I survived, it was just barely. My extremely painful disability was caused by those in Helena, and now I have to live with it. I had so many bad things happen to me in that town and state. I could write a book, and perhaps should. About my whole experience growing up, and almost being murdered in Helena, at both Capital and Helena High, mostly the latter. Again, you'd think they would be ashamed of how they acted. But nope, no apologies, no nothing were ever proffered to me. I am sure I am still known and hated in Helena and Montana. Especially now. Even if the Board of Schools/Education knew about the violence done to me, they would do nothing anyway. I am sure they did know, and simply chose to ignore it. It is just the way those of us who are gay, are and were treated in Helena and Montana. Likely still are, which is a shame. It is 2025 now and it appears that not much has changed in Helena.

Not sure why this is not listed as the school that it is. It is called Hawthorne Elementary School, and it should be listed as such, here on Yelp. I went to first grade in the little one or two room schoolhouse, to the side of the main elementary school. My teacher was Ms. Wilma Miller, and I shall never forget her. She was such an asset to Hawthorne School and had been there for ages already it seemed, when I attended. One of the kindest and most helpful teachers, that I have ever experienced. Ms. Miller taught us so much and her class was the best, in my opinion. She also was the first person to realize, that I was already being pegged as an outcast and seen as weird. This would be because I was born LGBTQ, and she knew it somehow. I knew perfectly well what I was and who I was, even in first grade!!! It is amazing to me, that Heterosexual people still like to believe it is a 'choice'. It should be pretty obvious that it is not, by my story. We cannot help that we were born this way. Have a little compassion, please? It is just something we have to deal with. I know many will choose not to believe me, but it is the honest truth. I knew who and what I was, even as a baby! Some humans are just born way ahead of their time and peers. I am one of them. I was also born with a eidetic/photographic memory, so I am not able to forget anything. This is why I can remember being a baby, and recall perfectly, my time at Hawthorne School, when I got a bit older. Some humans still do not believe that some of us are born with special abilities, but I assure you, it is so. Anyway, the remainder of my time at Hawthorne School was pretty great, except that I was bullied quite a lot for being different. So many cool teachers back then, and I learned more there, than at any other school. So, that is saying something, I believe! My second grade teacher was not all that great unfortunately, and I wish I had been in the other second grade class with Mrs. Cameron as teacher. Instead, I ended up with Mrs. Smith, who was not all that great, and was not such a great teacher either. She was rather mean and dismissive. Third grade with Mrs. Nyland was great, as was fourth grade with Mrs. Heen. Fifth grade was extremely memorable. I had Mr. Reuben Tucker for a teacher, and he was also someone who was way ahead of their time. He taught us Latin and Greek roots, prefixes and suffixes, which has come in more than handy in my life. He would also have The Beatles playing when we came to class in the morning. So cool!! He also taught us about archaeology and ancient civilizations, which is why I became an archaeologist when I grew up. I learned more from that man, than I can ever express, and would love to find him and thank him, even now. Sixth grade, my final class at Hawthorne School, was Mrs. Michelle Abney. She was also excellent, and also prepared us for Junior High, which I appreciate. Our principal, was Mr. Wenger, and he was such a nice guy too. We had it really good at Hawthorne, and I hope it is just as excellent as it was when I attended in the 1970's. It should be pretty obvious now, that I indeed do have a photographic memory. Thank you, Hawthorne School. I miss you. Btw, I am now 59 years old.

All I can say is WOW! After trying another martial arts place in town, that was in a large fancy…read morefacility, and cost $139 per person per month, with 30 min classes twice per week, I was so happy to find Nakagawa Martial arts! Run by a true Japanese martial arts Master, sensei Kenji Nakagawa is the REAL DEAL! Taught by his own Japanese master when he was in Japan, he brought this amazing Enshindo Martial Arts here to Montana, and has been teaching many generations of children and adults alike! I'm not even kidding, he has been teaching here in Helena for upwards of around 38 years or so I think, and has been such an incredible asset to the community for so long. I mean my neighbors kids are all grown up and moved away but they had all gotten their black belts when they were young! I just feel so fortunate to have found this place while he is still teaching. I was able to take the beginner classes with my 8 year old daughter, and instead of $139 per month for each of us for 30 minute classes, it's $60 per month each, for ONE HOUR CLASSES!! There is simply no comparison. Unfortunately I hurt my achilles tendon and had to stop the classes but my daughter continues and I hope to go back when I'm able. Mr. Nakagawa makes the classes really fun for kids with lots of games that help with coordination and teamwork, in addition to the actual martial arts moves. Also he incorporates doing the right thing in life, and helps with kids that have behavior issues. Sure, it's not in a new fancy building, but it's WAY better than ANY of the competition. I cannot recommend Nakagawa Martial Arts academy any higher that I am. Mr. Nakagawa is truly a gem in this community and every community needs amazing people like this. You cannot go wrong at Nakagawa Martial Arts.
