Helios Yoga
Helios Yoga is a premium Hot Yoga studio, curating the finest elements from other top-tier hot yoga studios across the US and bringing them together under one roof in Loudonville, NY.
We took on the exciting task of building a new yoga brand in the US, which was both a challenging and rewarding opportunity. Our goal was to create a strong community around the brand, bringing together passionate hot yoga practitioners and experienced teachers eager to share their unique styles under the same roof.
Helios Yoga aimed to stand out from other studios by offering a top-notch experience, from online booking to post-class customer service. The word "excellence" was a constant theme in our discussions, setting high standards for us to achieve.
To meet these high expectations, we focused on several key areas: developing a clear and impactful brand identity, creating an outstanding website, and designing a digital experience showcasing their premium qualities in visuals and words. Our mission was to capture the essence of Helios Yoga and demonstrate their commitment to quality, transforming the lives of their practitioners with every session.
Helios Yoga is not your typical hot yoga studio that gets bogged down with Sanskrit terms and clichés while neglecting top-notch services. They see themselves as adventurers in the hot yoga industry, trailblazers aiming to revolutionize hot yoga in the United States, particularly in Loudonville, NY.
This enthusiasm and boldness inspired us to create a digital experience that matches their exceptional offerings. We unified their professional ethos, unique services, and luxurious studio spaces into a cohesive digital strategy, capturing their essence and mission through design, movement, and content to transform the lives of their practitioners session after session.
For Helios Yoga's visual identity, we focused on thoughtful design to reflect their premium experience. The logo embodies the fluidity and grace of yoga, with modern and elegant typography mirroring the elongated forms of yoga poses. Each letter flows seamlessly, like a vinyasa sequence, inviting introspection and expansion.
The color palette—yellow for energy and warmth, dark green for calm and connection with nature, and deep orange for cultural significance and effort—embodies the studio's values. We paired a serif font for elegance and professionalism with a sans serif font for legibility and clarity, perfectly aligning with Helios Yoga's commitment to excellence.
For the website, we designed a sleek, elegant, and concise landing page with high contrast, earthy colors, minimalist aesthetics, dynamic transitions, and captivating imagery. The website mirrors the fluidity of movement experienced on the yoga mat while expressing the brand’s professional vision of hot yoga.
We also collaborated with a professional architect to produce striking renders that accurately portray the studio’s ambiance and the energy of their hot yoga classes.
The copywriting and brand messaging were a highly collaborative effort between the client and our content team. Each word was carefully selected to articulate the elevated essence of the Helios Yoga experience, aiming to immerse each web user into the studio’s soul even before they visit.
Even though the studio hasn’t officially opened yet (that’s set for Fall 2024), our client is thrilled with the outcome, and the website is already live and generating new sign-ups and job applications.
We’re excited to see how the brand’s visual identity and dynamic landing page will help Helios Yoga grow and evolve, enriching the well-being of countless practitioners drawn to its unique offerings. We are actively tracking the data from the landing page to inform the development of the full website. We're eagerly anticipating the launch of their full-functioning website as we approach their grand opening.
