Owner & Yoga Teacher

Darlene

Dearen

Raised by an Apache Indian Medicine Father and a spiritual healer mother, Darlene has always possessed a profound spiritual foundation and awareness. However, for several years, she lost touch with this foundation. Life's challenging circumstances took a toll on her spirit. It was through her dedication to yoga that she reconnected with her roots, found healing for her heart and mind, and rediscovered her true self.

Darlene Dearen has dedicated years to teaching and inspiring others through the practice of yoga. Beyond that, she has served women in various capacities: as a Certified Doula, Childbirth Educator, Lactation Consultant, and Midwife.

For Darlene Dearen, yoga has been a transformative force. She firmly believes it's her life's mission to share its benefits. As the owner of Radiant Hot Yoga and a devoted teacher, her vision and passion lie in healing and inspiring individuals to achieve their utmost potential.

    "If yoga can save my life, it can save yours."

    Good morning, Darlene, I just wanted to say that this is my fourth class back at hot yoga since I’ve been cleared to work out after my C-section and I feel so good to be back in the hot room, but also I just want to thank you for creating such an amazing community of women and for like people who actually care about you.

    You created that because otherwise, it would just be a yoga studio and when I came back my first day, all the girls, there was a lot of the girls that were in the 8 AM class at sculpt and they saw me and they were so welcoming and so positive and encouraging. Coming back after not working out for a while is always intimidating especially when you don’t look the way that you used to but the encouragement and positivity from all the women made me feel so good!

    You know it’s just something that you’ve created and it’s like coming back home, and it made me feel really special, and really loved! I just wanted to let you know that it’s totally noticed and it’s so life-changing for people and it’s good to be back. I hope that you have a good day and a great rest of the week.
    Love,
    Shaun

    Just could not let this day go by with out letting you know just how much I appreciated your amazing Sunday 10 am class yesterday.

    You have a beautiful, calm, composed, (yet positively energetic) encouraging confident style that is world class.

    Thank your for your sincere interest in what you have dedicated your life to and sharing it with me.

    Your rich voice floating across that room is absolutely gorgeous and comes from a deep source of knowledge.

    Have a wonderful day.

    I agree with others that this is hands down the most beautiful yoga space I’ve ever been in.

    It’s warm and welcoming – every detail is thought out and well done. The energy in the studio and the teachers are exceptional. You feel like you are in a spa. Darlene has done a beautiful job creating a sacred space that is especially welcoming to all levels of yogis, especially beginners. The location is also super convenient and easy to find. I’m excited to see what workshops, additional classes and happenings RHY will do.

    Are you kidding me, this place rocks! 1st of all did I just walk into a 5 star spa?

    It’s GORGEOUS! Staff is super friendly and accommodating. Everything you need is there to rent or buy, but all you need is mat, yoga towel and being prepared to have an amazing experience. As a fitness instructor I am EXTREMELY particular on studios and instruction, I do not give 5 start unless it’s warranted.

    The actual practice studio is extremely clean & the classes… well it should not surprise you that based on my 5 star rating Review ARE AWESOME! This is not boring yoga, this is fun, a workout, deep stretching, working your core, lifting your YOGA spirit. The instructor, Darlene (also the owner) walked around & checked form on everyone, corrected us & and even gave us some hands on adjustments. Loved that! Oh & they play fun up beat music!! No wonder the name is Radiant Yoga you leave there feeling RADIANT!

    Darlene’s hot yoga sequence is the best thing anyone can do for their body, mind and soul!

    You find pure balance mixed with an amazing workout, and guidance that makes you push yourself beyond your limits, while still having fun! I have been doing hot yoga for over 3 years now, and with Darlene’s classes, I have seen a significant change not only in my body, but my general attitude and happiness.

    Not only will you become addicted to the workouts that will transform your body, but you will look forward to a relaxing time mixed with tons of fun! When you’re feeling down, go to Darlene’s class and your whole demeanor will be turned around!

    I’ve been to this studio for two months.

    I came here as often as I can because I’m so addicted to radiant hot yoga sequence and everyday I feel refreshed after class. Darlene’s class is especially amazing. Her dialogue is very inspiring and encouraging. Other instructors are great too and some have their own styles.

    Not only is the studio one of the cleanest and most eye appealing I have been to, but Darlene the owner is a kind person with a love and passion for yoga.

    Taking a class led by her not only brings peace to an otherwise busy day and life, but you will work! Hot yoga makes you feel so amazing and it will transform your body in a way you didn’t know was possible! I am so happy that radiant hot yoga opened up for us locals!

    Five stars for sure!

    Beautiful studio, great instructors and very welcoming atmosphere! I’ve been to this studio for two months. I came here as often as I can because I’m so addicted to Radiant Hot Yoga and everyday I feel refreshed after class. ? Darlene’s class is especially amazing. Her dialogue is very inspiring and encouraging. Other instructors are great too and some have their own styles.

    No judgement is probably the biggest reason I love this studio as I just started my yoga practice. But because of the encouraging atmosphere, I found I improve day by day through the nonjudgmental practice. This place is very welcoming no matter you are advanced or beginner.

    Also I really have to say the front desk girls are amazing as well!

    I really enjoyed Radiant Hot yoga.

    I am a beginner to hot yoga and Darlene, the instructor, was very helpful before and during the class. The studio was very clean, and the ambience was peaceful and welcoming.
