Perrin is passionate about helping others authentically connect with their most healthy and happy selves and has made this a key focus throughout her career.

Perrin has called Golden, Colorado her home now for over 25 years. Growing up In Larchmont, New York, she attended St. Lawrence University in upstate New York for her undergrad. Following college, Perrin went off to work for the Peace Corps in Mali, West Africa for over two years.

Perrin loves the vibe at ALIGN; it has helped her through many difficult times in her life. Being a part of the ALIGN community and participating in meditation, strength and stretching classes helps her to do the outdoor activities that she so enjoys.

Playing outdoors and being active is something that she draws a great deal of joy from — she enjoys participating in backcountry skiing, triathlons, mountain biking, hiking, playing tennis, trail running and sailing.

Sober 19 years, Perrin works as a recovery and health coach for others — she seeks to align her clients with the perfectly unique pathway through recovery and renewed health.

Hey there, I’m Ariel! Yoga has been such an integral part of my life for over ten years and continues to support me in all that I do. I show up to this practice again and again to find pause and connection with myself. Finding the balance between grace and strength, I facilitate fluid, meditative and powerful flows. As a mental health therapist my goal is create a safe enough space for you to meet yourself wherever you’re at. I can’t wait to flow with you!

Chris Loving-Campos is a movement facilitator who has spent years holding intentional spaces across the Denver metro area. His work weaves breath, movement, and presence to support people in softening out of their heads and into their bodies, where real connection begins.

Rooted in Vinyasa, Nidra, and Conscious Breathwork, Chris creates experiences that balance dynamic movement with deep stillness, inviting attunement, and nervous system awareness. Through creative sequencing, intentional breath, and music that keeps the body engaged, Chris supports partners in slowing down, feeling more, and meeting each other with greater ease, honesty, and aliveness – on the mat and in relationship.

By day Chris runs a design and marketing studio creating websites, brands and other marketing related items.

When not guiding or on the computer you can find Chris, his partner and three children exploring the beauty of Colorado.

Claudia Bradley is a 200hr RYT who studied with Denver Yoga Underground, and is completing her 300hr RYT certification with Prana Vinyasa Denver. Claudia has loved movement all her life and grew up a competitive gymnast and cheerleader. She later found yoga and dove into teaching soon after finding the practice, which relieved her of chronic pain and helped with mental health struggles. Claudia teaches restorative yoga, yin yoga, and vinyasa flow classes.

Yoga teacher trained in the heart of Bali, bringing a blend of strength, power, and mindfulness to each class. Deeply inspired by the spirituality and breathwork practices from my training, I focus on guiding students through a balanced journey that blends dynamic strength with mindful, intentional movement. My classes invite students to embrace both the challenge and calm of yoga, supporting them in finding inner strength, resilience, and a deeper connection to themselves.

Striving to fuse physical and spiritual aspects of yoga, I blend soulful music with prana to encourage students to live from a higher place of consciousness and help restore alignment into their beings.
Growing up an avid soccer, lacrosse player and runner with a passion for health and wellness, a trainer recommended I try a hot yoga class in 2005 and I was instantly hooked! Yoga not only helped alleviate physical ailments, but it brought me greater strength, flexibility and mental clarity. I have deep east coast roots but credit the west coast for the inspiration to pursue a career as an accredited yoga teacher and therapist. Striving to fuse physical and spiritual aspects of yoga, I blend soulful music with prana to encourage students to live from a higher place of consciousness and help restore alignment into their beings. I seek to help transform students on a physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual level. Through therapeutic yogic applications, my hope is to uplift students by guiding them to have more fun on and off the mat.

I dabbled in yoga for years until moving to the Rocky Mountains in 2013 where I began a serious and consistent practice at my local hometown studio in Evergreen, CO. I completed my 200 hour yoga teacher training with Kindness Yoga in 2015, and have continued to build my own practice and knowledge through numerous other trainings with local mentors. I enjoy teaching all styles of yoga, with a particular love for Hot and Yin. Outside of teaching, I have been a Registered Dietitian and Specialty Sales Executive with Nestle Health Science for the last 20 years. I view yoga and meditation as a way to let go of things that are not serving us, as well as an opportunity to explore a deeper connection with self and others that cross our paths. It’s said that we teach what we need to be taught; through this practice I hope you will be able to let the outside world fall away with breath and mindfulness, and come to a place of balance and harmony with body, mind, and spirit. In my spare time I enjoy regular trips to my beloved Sanibel Island, FL where I am an avid collector of sea shells, spending time with my Boston Terrier Emmy and French Bulldog Bruce Wayne, as well as doting on my two nephews Jake and Wyatt.

I’d love to see you on the mat!

With over 15 years of experience and an E-RYT 200 certification, Joy’s teaching is a rich tapestry woven from the precision of Iyengar, the fluidity of Vinyasa, and the transformative heat of Baptiste. Rooted in the heart-centered path of Bhakti, Joy views the mat as a sacred landscape for self-discovery and a playground for the soul (sometimes while upside down).

Guided by the values of Growth, Levity, and Authenticity, Joy has a gift for inviting students to meet their physical and mental “edge” without taking themselves too seriously. Beyond being seasoned facilitator of asana, she guides the sacred craft of mala-tying, helping students ground their intentions into tangible practice. Whether you are flowing through a powerful sequence or sitting in the quiet of a mala workshop, Joy offers a space that honors ancient tradition with a modern, playful spirit.

She owns a fine gardening company called the Secret Gardener, serving residential and commercial gardens in the Denver metro area. She is also a partner in the Secret Harvest, a farm to table concept business for residential homes wanting to have vegetable gardens but not wanting to have to do the maintenance and harvesting. She also visits a vineyard once a month in Marin County, California to work on a vineyard with their farm to table concept for wine tasting as well as keeping the multitude of annual containers looking beautiful.

Kayla aims to empower practitioners through breathwork, powerful flows, and freedom of choice in their practice.
She believes one of the most important aspects of yoga is the internal dialogue practioners can have while on their mat. She encourages a connection to body and breath while offering playful challenges. As a practioner, Kayla found yoga as a place to find community while she moved around the country. Once she landed in Colorado, she felt a renewed passion in her practice and was encouraged to teach! While practicing, she enjoys hot yoga, heated power flows, and balancing challenge and grace. Off the mat she enjoys paddleboarding, leaning in to life-long learning, and her dog River!

I have been practicing hot yoga exclusively for approximately 15 years. I took my first hot yoga class at a local gym in the middle of my journey to lose 100 pounds and I instantly feel in love with the practice and how I felt during and after. After having my son in early 2016 I was really struggling with post partum weight gain my own self perception and I had completely abandoned my practice and most other physical activity. My husband had found a yoga studio near our house that was offering a free week of yoga and so I tried that studio out and reignited my passion for my practice. It seemed only natural that I become an instructor to take my knowledge and commitment to my own practice even deeper. When you come to my class you can expect a thoughtfully curated playlist, an easy going vibe and that above all else, it’s just yoga, so come as you are and enjoy your practice no matter how it goes. My favorite hot teacher that I ever had used to say that there is “no judging or critiquing” our practices and you can often hear me sharing that same sentiment. I consider myself an old school hot yogi and prefer the 90 minute format along with consistent heat and humidity throughout class.

Outside of Align I am the President of an organization that supports children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities in Colorado, Nevada, Wyoming and Montana. I also share my home and my heart with a woman who has Down Syndrome who has lived with me and my family since 2008. I am a transplant to Colorado from Cape Cod, MA and I am still deeply connected to my New England routes and visit there often where I now spend long chunks of time in Mid Coast Maine. In my limited free time I enjoy my own hot practice, traveling, a good martini, being outside, a cool murder mystery documentary and spending time with my husband Matt, son Kellan, our Frenchie Webster and black lab, Sula.

Vanessa grew up dancing since the age of six and brings that love of movement and expression into every class.

Vanessa wholeheartedly believes that movement may look different from day to day, but she believes that your breath and body are always the best guides to follow, so you do you! Nothing gives Vanessa more joy than to witness someone truly listening to their body. Outside of class, Vanessa loves cozy nights in with a good book, an early bedtime, and cuddles with her Terrier, Penny. When she’s not in the studio, she’s usually planning her next adventure with her husband and five-year-old daughter.
