Vitara Hot Yoga marks grand opening with three-chamber ribbon cutting

Vitara Hot Yoga will celebrate its official grand opening Nov. 16 in Seabrook, N.H., one year after owner Novita Soper took over the former Hot Yoga Studio and rebuilt it as Vitara. The event highlights a broader effort to restore the studio, expand community programming and deepen ties across New Hampshire and Massachusetts.

Why it matters: - Vitara Hot Yoga’s opening caps a yearlong turnaround at a Seabrook studio that Soper chose to keep operating through the transition. - The ribbon cutting brings together chambers from New Hampshire and Massachusetts, signaling the studio’s role in the regional business community. - The studio has paired physical renovation with community programming, mental health fundraising and charitable support in the U.S. and Indonesia.

What happened: - Vitara Hot Yoga will hold its official grand opening and three-chamber ribbon cutting at 11 a.m. Monday, Nov. 16, 2026. - The event will take place at 270 Lafayette Road, Unit 12, in Seabrook, N.H. - Participating chambers include the Chamber Collaborative of Greater Portsmouth, Hampton Area Chamber of Commerce and Greater Newburyport Chamber of Commerce & Industry. - The event is free and open to the public. - Owner Novita Soper took over The Hot Yoga Studio one year earlier and rebuilt it as Vitara Hot Yoga.

Between the lines: - Soper framed the rebuild as both a physical renovation and a culture reset after a difficult ownership transition. - The studio’s charitable work suggests Vitara is positioning itself as a community hub, not just a fitness business. - Vitara reports about $3,500 in combined charitable support for local causes and children’s education in Indonesia. - Local efforts have included “Free Yoga for a Day” to raise mental health awareness and funds for NAMI-NH. - Five Root & Rise classes have given developing teachers a chance to lead community practice while raising funds for Yoga in Action through suggested $10 donations. - Globally, Vitara supports schooling for 29 children at three schools in Sidoarjo, Indonesia, including Soper’s former kindergarten and elementary schools. - The Founder’s Circle annual membership program donates $99 from each membership toward a child’s school tuition. - “Vitara’s Theme,” released on Spotify in March 2026 under the artist name Vitara Yoga, was created to reflect the rhythm, energy and emotional atmosphere of the practice while celebrating Seabrook, New Hampshire.

What’s next: - The grand opening gives Vitara a public reset point after a year of renovation and community rebuilding. - Soper is available for media interviews and studio tours by appointment. - The studio is likely to keep leaning on classes, wellness partnerships and charitable programming as part of its identity.
