Cortney Perrine
Cortney Perrine is a practicing Massage Therapist. She graduated Birmingham School of Massage in 2011. Along the way, she realized her clients would benefit from more than just massage. Many of them needed to develop their own flexibility by learning functional movement patterns and, strengthening their Mind-Body Connection. Cortney wanted to be able to give her clients more in depth care. She took her education further. In 2018, she graduated HereNowYoga YTT and began teaching yoga and breath work. Through teaching movement and seeing the great relief it brought her clients, this inspired Cortney to go further and eventually obtain her Somatic Movement Certification through Kinesa. This she believed was the missing piece in so many peoples lives. As she taught, she saw her clients chronic issues get addressed in a new way.
After the birth of her 3 daughters, Cortney discovered her passion for helping mothers. Prenatal/ postnatal recovery, and improving the function of the pelvic floor became her new area of focus. This lead her to Pilates teacher training.
Cortney is a well rounded teacher, having many modalities to integrate into her work.
Cortney is passionate about helping people move through life without pain. She believes movement is fundamental to a full life, that movement should be fun, challenging, and creative. She brings an element of play, and exploration to all of her classes.
DELANEY BLAIN
Delaney began personal training and teaching group fitness classes in Kona, Hawaii in 2005. She began teaching group fitness classes in Gulf Shores in 2023. Her goals are simple: help others find a form of exercise they enjoy (so they will stick with it), and help others live their best lives by becoming and staying strong and flexible and having fun.
With a background in teaching Les Mills BODYPUMP, BODYFLOW, BODYJAM, RPM indoor cycling, Zumba, Pilates Reformer, Pilates Mat, Yoga, Water Aerobics, TRX, senior fitness classes, and full-body circuit classes, she brings a variety of insight and ideas to each workout. Delaney loves Pilates Reformer because it can help people improve their their strength and flexibility, no matter what level of fitness they are at. Having worked one on one with Reformer clients, she has seen the transformative power of consistent Reformer training.
When she’s not teaching classes, she’s committed to helping others live their best lives by helping them buy, sell, or invest in real estate! And if she’s not busy with that, she’s probably playing the piano, riding her bike, or spending time with her husband, Scott, two boys Kaleb and Koben, and three dogs Ziggy, Marley, and Lulu.
