AVONDALE STUDIO MANAGER

HOT HIIT & PILATES TEACHER

Back in 2020, at 15 years old, I took my first class in the hot room, the full 90 minute 26 & 2, and haven’t stopped coming since! I immediately fell in love with the community and energy that fills this space. I first got certified to teach Hot HIIT in early 2022 through The Foundry’s teacher training program and began teaching in 2023. Not long after, I got certified to teach Pilates and Barre and the rest is history! My goal in teaching is to give the amazing feeling instructors have given to me back to the community that inspires me most. The hot room has become my second home and The Foundry has become my second family! I am a graduate from Arizona State University with a Bachelor’s in Business Administration and a focus in Healthy Lifestyles Coaching. I am a dog mom to my sweet puppy Tucker and I love to cook. When I’m not teaching, you’ll find me playing with my dog, getting coffee with my friends, or just back in the hot room off the clock!

26&2 HOT YOGA & HIIT TEACHER

In 2007 I took my first Bikram yoga class in hope to heal physical injuries. Little did I know that this practice would continuously transform me from the inside out. I graduated from teacher training in 2015 followed by Levels 1, 2, and 3 of inferno Hot Pilates training and Cycling training. I do one on one coaching for mindset, macros and movement.

Teaching has been the most rewarding and fulfilling experience. I love seeing the uniqueness of each individual who comes through the doors and am inspired every single class by the courage of the students. The best part is, no matter what initially motivates you to come take class at The Foundry, you will receive ALL of the benefits!

26&2 HOT YOGA, HOT FLOW YOGA, YIN YOGA & BARRE TEACHER

Lori has been a PT since 1987, currently working with children from birth to 3 years old. She took her first hot yoga class in 2012 and loved it. Over a couple of years of practice, she realized instead of rehabbing injured people, she could help people maintain their musculoskeletal health through yoga. She took her first yoga teacher training in 2016, learning the 26 & 2 Bikram series. She followed that with Yin teacher training in 2018, hot barre training in 2019, and flow yoga training in 2021. During all that time she came to realize that yoga benefits included so much more than the just the physical!

When she's not at the studio, you can find her tending to her plants, hanging out with her family, reading or cuddling her cat.

Paige Quillen

Paige Quillen

HOT BARRE & PILATES TEACHER

I grew up as a dancer, very active and always moving. After graduating, I didn’t get to move my body as much. I found this hot fitness studio and started working there at the front desk and taking these classes for the first time. I absolutely loved the way I felt after working out in the hot room and it became my new routine. I really wanted to make people feel that way myself, so I started teaching hot barre back in 2021 and have also been teaching mat Pilates since the beginning of 2024 and it is one of my favorite things ever. I love getting people together to create some change in their lives.

JaMe Castro

JaMe Castro

26&2 HOT YOGA TEACHER

In 2012, I purchased an unlimited monthly pass for Bikram Yoga Avondale. I attended several times that month, but did not commit to a membership. In 2016, I had undergone surgery and decided it was time to get back in shape. I went back to BYA and began attending classes daily. Through diet and exercise, I was able to lose twenty pounds in about four months. At this time, I have attended over 2,000 classes and discovered how healing this yoga practice can be. I completed the 200 Yoga Teacher Training in the summer of 2022 and am ecstatic to be teaching for the Foundry. I enjoy sharing my love for this yoga with fellow practitioners through the art of teaching. The Foundry is my home away from home and the members have become part of my extended family.

My husband and I started dating in 1993, during the Suns playoffs with the Bulls. I am a mother of two children that are ten years apart. Despite being a Sun Devil, Alexa graduated from the University of Arizona in 2017 with a degree in BioMedical Engineering and Simon just committed to the UofA for Civil Engineering. We are a family that loves all things math so naturally I would raise two engineers. We have two dogs: Chewbacca and Winston who bring lots of joy and snuggles. When I am not at the studio, then I love gardening, customizing items with the Cricut, and watching all things Star Wars related.

Alex Kharrl

Alex Kharrl

HOT FLOW YOGA TEACHER

I took my first class at The Foundry after I graduated college and moved back home in 2017. I had always struggled to find workouts that I genuinely enjoyed and looked forward to, my workouts before had always felt like a chore. I was always so self-critical and wrestled with mental health and body image when it came to health and fitness. Luckily, I had found a studio with so many diverse and beautiful humans who were strong and determined, and I wanted the same for myself. I quickly realized that my health and wellness should be focused on all the wonderful things that my body is capable of instead of what it isn't. During my pregnancy, yoga became a cornerstone of my self-care. It helped me stay grounded, strong, and connected to my body during such a transformative time. My husband and I welcomed our beautiful baby boy in August 2023, and we couldn’t be more in love! I left the engineering field to become a stay-at-home mom to my beautiful baby boy, Quinn, and to pursue a more fulfilling path. In fall 2024, I had the privilege of completing The Foundry’s hot flow yoga teacher training, an experience that deepened my love for yoga and the community it fosters. When I’m not at the studio, you can find me at a cute coffee shop, reading, or watering my plants.

Jazmine Chavarin

HOT HIIT TEACHER

I found The Foundry in January 2023 when I came to support my friend, JaMe Castro, in her first 90-minute 26 & 2 class. I thought I was just there for her, but little did I know how transformative that first class would be.

On November 11, 2022, I lost my infant daughter, Charli. My first class at The Foundry was the first time since losing her that I wasn’t completely engulfed in grief. Each time I returned to the hot room, I could feel my mental health improving, and before I knew it, my body was restoring from the inside out. The Foundry became a second home—a place of peace and wellness for me. I began working at the front desk, and little by little, I started to regain pieces of myself. Before long, I signed up for teacher training.

I love the energy of a Hot HIIT class and the challenge it brings. Hot HIIT helped me push through some of my toughest moments. I hope to inspire others to use this community as a place of refuge—to come as they are, no matter what they’re facing in life. A workout in the hot room can always help. And this community is incredible.

When I’m not at The Foundry, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our dogs, traveling, watching sport (Go wildcats) and finding ways to honor my daughter. Every class I take or teach is dedicated to Charli. I move for her. <3

Hope to see you in the hot room. Do it for Charli!

Sam George

Sam George

HOT HIIT TEACHER

I took my first Bikram yoga class in 2003, and it felt like stepping straight into a solar flare. Seriously, who willingly practices yoga in a room that hot? It was one of the hardest things I’d ever done…and that’s when everything changed. I became an instant devotee. In 2017, I discovered Inferno Hot Pilates, and it quickly became my newest obsession. After joining a studio, the owner encouraged me to become a teacher, and I’m so grateful I took the leap. Getting certified and teaching has been one of the most rewarding decisions of my life. Reflecting on my journey, I’ve seen firsthand how these practices can transform, heal, and elevate life in every way. For me, stepping into the studio feels like coming home, and I’m passionate about helping others find that same connection. Whether you’re looking to reach your highest potential, crush your fitness goals, or simply try something new, I can’t wait to guide you. See you on the mat!

26&2 HOT YOGA TEACHER

I began my yoga journey over 15 years ago, and from my very first class, I knew this practice was meant for me. Over the years, yoga has not only transformed my body but also nurtured my growth from the inside out, helping me navigate life's challenges beyond the mat. Two years ago, I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, and for a time, I couldn't move on my own. Yet, when I returned to my practice after six months, the community at Foundry held space for me with open arms. I feel so blessed to call this place my second home. Teaching yoga is my passion and my greatest joy. I deeply cherish this incredible community and always feel energized working out here. Yoga has truly shaped my life, and I am honored to share its transformative power with others.

HTO PILATES TEACHER + SALES & SERVICE TEAM

Hi!! I’m Kaylee, I got certified through The Foundry Teacher training for Pilates in August 2025 and I am so excited to be in the hot room with everyone sharing tough workouts and funny mistakes I might make as a new teacher but I’m so excited about growth and continuous learning. I started at The Foundry Avondale in March as front desk and have had the privilege to meet so many people and share a beautiful community with everyone here. I wanted to start teaching because I am passionate about the practice and leading people through something that (may hurt in the moment haha) but ultimately makes us feel so strong and connected after. I am so inspired by current teachers and students and am excited to embark on my teaching journey through all of the knowledge I have gained and will continue to.

I discovered Pilates after having my daughter in 2022, and it completely transformed my life. What began as a way to reconnect with my body became a passion that led me to start teaching in 2024. As a busy mom, I know the value of dedicating an hour of movement to myself, and I want to help others do the same. My goal is to create a welcoming community where people can unplug, be present, and fall in love with movement while focusing on their growth—both on and off the mat.
