When it comes to yoga, we’re the real deal

We take our yoga seriously around here. Like using infrared heat in our studios to warm you from the inside out, or creating an unheated, studio at The Mills for those who prefer a cooler practice. Or building a badass community of yogis from all walks of life? We're dead serious.

But when it comes to whether you can touch your toes or hit a Crow pose perfectly in class? Never. We’re too busy celebrating you for showing up in the first place. 

Because to us, yoga is so much more than “just a workout”. And now’s your chance to throw caution to the wind and practice flows that make you feel like you hit the jackpot. 

Come experience the Warrior Way and explore our wide range of hot yoga & fitness classes. From power to sculpt to restorative, we’ll help you discover the magic that happens on the mat when we stop taking ourselves so seriously.

Meet the Founders:
Friendships Forged Through Mindfulness

des·ti·ny /ˈdestənē / Noun

Some things are just meant to be.

Fate (noun): The inevitable path or journey one’s life is meant to follow.

We think that's how our story begins.

In 2018, Talitha Franggos decided to open a little yoga studio on the side. A few classes, a few friends, nothing too crazy.

She reached out to Genevieve Hoellrich, a teacher she barely knew, to ask if she'd teach there. Genevieve looked her right in the eye and said, "Yeah, I'll teach there. But I want to own it too." Talitha's first thought? Perfect. I'm way over my head.

And just like that, Humble Warrior had two founders.

Talitha had a demanding full-time career. Genevieve was raising three young children. Life was full, loud, and pulling them in every direction. But on the mat, the noise got quieter. They felt strong, present, and fully themselves. Yoga was where they came home.

They shared a feeling they couldn't shake: everyone deserves a place like that. More real. More welcoming. More alive. A place where people could come as they were, discover what they were capable of, and find their way back to themselves, with sweat and a lot of laughter along the way.

Neither had investors, a safety net, or any real idea what they were getting into. They weren't prepared. They jumped anyway. Eyes wide shut.

On June 21, 2019, the summer solstice and the longest day of light, Humble Warrior Power Yoga opened at The Mills in Manchester, New Hampshire. They chose it for the light. Only later did they learn it was also International Day of Yoga. Fate, again.

Then the world shut down. So they pivoted. Classes moved online, and the community they had built refused to disappear. Humble showed up for its people, and its people showed up for each other, proving Humble Warrior had become something far greater than just a place to practice yoga.

And so the story continued.

Bedford in 2022. Exeter in 2023. In 2024, Yoga Balance, Manchester's unheated studio for about 15 years, joined the Humble family and found a new home at The Mills. Then Kittery, Maine, in 2025.

Today, Humble Warrior is five studios across four locations, voted New Hampshire's best yoga studio seven years running.

So much for a little side studio!

Along the way, two near strangers became the closest of friends. Today, that friendship is one of the most important relationships of their lives, the steady heart beneath everything Humble Warrior has become.

But the greatest measure of what they’ve built has never been the number of studios or the awards on the wall.

It's the people. The Humble team. The friendships. The breakthroughs. The moments someone realizes they're stronger than they thought. The feeling of walking through the Humble Warrior doors and feeling like they are truly…home.

This isn't a story of luck, inheritance, or having it all figured out.

It's what happens when you trust your intuition, take a chance on something you believe in, and keep showing up, again and again and again. And let life surprise the heck out of you.

We never knew where this journey would lead.

We're just so glad it led us to you.

Come as you are. Leave a little more yourself.

Welcome home to Humble Warrior.

And they’re not stopping there. With more locations on the horizon, Gen & Talitha’s message to their warriors is clear: 

Lead with passion. Grow with purpose. And always keep pursuing your dream.
