The lights are back on for Allumen.
Founder Madeleine Page said the infrared hot yoga studio, which closed its initial RiNo location in September, has reopened nearby after acquiring Big Power Yoga.
“They (Big Power) actually reached out to me around the announcement that we were closing about the opportunity to purchase the studio and merge the communities,” Page said.

Page declined to disclose financial terms of the deal. Allumen reopened earlier this month in Big Power’s 2,600-square-foot space at 2470 Broadway, which is just three blocks from where Allumen had operated. The Big Power name has been dropped.
“It’s so close and that’s a big part of why this opportunity felt like the right move,” Page said.
Allumen closed its initial location after a rough start to business, which included a trademark infringement case and the pandemic. Ultimately, Page said, the business was struggling to pay back rent and couldn’t work out a deal with its new landlord.
All Big Power and Allumen instructors stayed on with the merger, apart from two who moved away. Page said the business will continue to offer power yoga classes on top of Allumen’s “buffet of yoga options” like infrared hot yoga and creative vinyasa.
She said the new location is about the same size as its last one, and has a little more than three years left on its lease.
Founded by Laura Rust and Nancy Perry, Big Power Yoga opened in RiNo six years ago. The company launched in 2012 in Rust and Perry’s respective hometowns — Steamboat Springs and Houston — before expanding to Denver.
“I think they … were looking for someone who could lead this community into the next chapter, and afford them the time and energy to focus on their respective studios in their own towns,” Page said.
