Darlene Brace

Group Fitness Instructor | Yoga Educator | Zumba Enthusiast | Wellness Advocate

With over a decade of experience leading dynamic fitness classes across Colorado, I bring passion, creativity, and trauma-informed expertise to every movement session I lead. From high-energy Zumba and MixxedFit dance parties to grounding yoga and Tai Chi flows, my goal is to help individuals feel strong, connected, and joyful in their bodies—at any age and stage of life.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Addiction Counselor, I understand how deeply movement supports mental health, resilience, and recovery. I specialize in creating inclusive and empowering classes that honor each participant’s unique journey. I hold certifications in Zumba (including Toning, Kids, Gold, and Aqua), AFAA Group Fitness, Tai Chi for Arthritis, and am a Registered Yoga Teacher at the 500-hour level with specialized training in Yoga Nidra, Pranayama, Yin, and Vinyasa Flow.

Currently teaching at the Northglenn Recreation Center, I also design seasonal workshops that blend mind-body wellness, somatic healing, and community care. Whether it's on the dance floor or the yoga mat, I’m here to help people reconnect to their bodies, breath, and inner strength—one class at a time.
