Payton created Peak Yoga and Wellness as a space for healing, connection, and coming home to yourself. Her classes are designed as experiences of self-exploration through somatic practices like movement, breathwork, and meditation.

With a gentle, intentional approach, she guides you to soften, listen, and reconnect with the wisdom of your body. Each practice offers tools to support a deeper sense of presence both on and off the mat.

Nikki's teaching is rooted in the belief that conscious movement is a powerful practice of returning home to yourself. Her journey began in Denver in 2006, where she first turned to yoga and meditation to navigate and heal her anxiety. Now she teaches those same practices that transformed her life to others. 

Drawing from her background in Yoga, Meditation, Reiki, and Mat Pilates, she specializes in strength-forward, alignment-based sequences. These sequences are designed to wake up the body, connect students to their own inner peace, and celebrate the devotion it takes to show up. When she isn't on the mat, Nikki works in executive recruiting and co-hosts her wellness podcast, The Modern Zen Collective.

Diane’s journey with yoga began over a decade ago as a path to deeper clarity, healing, and inner steadiness. She offers heart-centered classes rooted in mindful movement and intentional breath, creating a supportive space where students can build strength, find balance, and reconnect — meeting themselves exactly where they are. Her teaching is grounded in presence and intention, with a commitment to making yoga welcoming and inclusive for every body and every level.

Grace's yoga journey began during a season when she felt disconnected from her body and was constantly focused on achievement over presence. Yoga invited her to experience movement in a completely different way—not as something to be perfect at, but as a practice of listening, healing, and reconnecting with herself. That experience continues to shape the way she teaches today. As a 500-hour Registered Yoga Teacher, certified personal trainer, and health coach, Grace combines a strong understanding of anatomy and functional movement with the mindfulness and self-compassion that yoga has taught her.

Her classes encourage students to build strength, improve mobility, and explore movement with curiosity rather than judgment. She believes yoga is for every body and strives to create an inclusive space where students feel supported, challenged, and inspired to carry the practice beyond the mat.

Talita's journey into the world of yoga began when her therapist recommended it, and it turned out to be a transformative experience. Recognizing the profound impact on her mental and emotional well-being, Talita felt a calling to share these benefits with others and decided to become a yoga instructor. Her specialization lies in emphasizing the importance of anatomy and proper alignment in her teaching style. Talita strongly believes in the profound connection between the mind and body, placing a significant emphasis on the art of proper breathing.

Lindsey's Life Motto: Be generous with your time, go where others are afraid to go, give it all you’ve got, and love what you do.

Jessica focuses on a gentle approach to myofascial work, balancing the nervous system and addressing tightness in a relaxing way. As a former ballet dancer and current wellness practitioner, she believes that in order to make lasting change in the body, allowing the fascia to adjust slowly while in a state of relaxation is fundamental.

She employs techniques such as fascial stretching, trigger point therapy, heat and Swedish massage, with light to medium pressure in her sessions. Her professional demeanor and intuitive work foster a deeply healing environment, and she holds space for harmony in the mind, body, and spirit of every client.

With a background in competitive cheerleading, Jessica originally found yoga to stay active before embracing it as a guiding practice for life. After completing her yoga teacher training, she began working as an assisted stretching practitioner between classes and immediately fell in love with bodywork.

To deepen her ability to help others heal and restore, she transitioned her focus entirely to massage therapy. Jessica believes that the body often holds onto unaddressed emotional distress and physical strain. Her massage practice centers on holding space for clients to slow down, breathe, and surrender, allowing the body to release deep-seated tension. She looks forward to welcoming you to her table.

After receiving massages to treat chronic neck pain, Kelley discovered how massage therapy can improve the overall quality of life and wanted to help other people in her community relieve their chronic pain.

It brings her joy to know that by providing her services in the most serene of settings will leave the guest feeling relaxed and ready to spread good vibes through the rest of their day.
