Denver Yoga Summit

ADMISSION NOTE: This exclusive session requires a Teacher Track Ticket or Add-On for entry.

Somewhere along the way, the modern yoga world reduced breath to a repetitive background cue: inhale, exhale, repeat. But breath is not just a secondary technique. It is the single most intelligent anchor inside your asana practice—shaping nervous system tone, pranic direction, muscular effort, and mental steadiness long before we ever touch formal pranayama.

Join globally renowned yoga educator and host of the Let's Talk Yoga podcast, Arundhati B, for a deeply layered and practical masterclass that reshapes how we understand breath literacy.

What You Will Explore:

• The Six Dimensions: Decode the six distinct qualities of breath and how each alters a student’s immediate internal experience.
• The Three Layers: Navigate the physical, energetic, and perceptual nature of conscious breathing.
• Effort & Expansion: Learn how breath logically organizes structural stability and deep expansion inside postures.
• Beyond Ujjayi: Discover why reducing breath exclusively to ujjayi limits both the teacher's vocabulary and the student's growth.
• Seamless Literacy: Learn how to deepen breath integration without turning a standard vinyasa class into a rigid pranayama workshop.
• The Takeaway: This is not about adding more complex technique; it is about radically refining your perception. Teachers will leave with sharper, more intelligent cueing tools. Practitioners will experience how breath alone can completely transform the depth of their practice.
• Note: This is a limited-capacity workshop. Please ensure you have upgraded your Visitors Center to a Teacher Track Ticket to secure your spot and receive your continuing education credits.

Stop chasing idealized, textbook shapes and start honoring the unique architecture of your own body. Join Denver Yoga Summit founder and veteran educator Brittany Hopkins Switlick for an empowering, deeply practical alignment masterclass. Drawing from her background as a professional dancer, and experience training hundreds of instructors at Lotus Yoga School, Brittany strips away the rigid "rules" of posture to teach you how to empower your poses intelligently.

Leave your this session with the practical tools and confidence to step into any yoga class and navigate your practice with safety, fluid ease, and deep self-awareness.

It’s not just about strength or flexibility — the alignment of your shoulders in yoga postures has everything to with scapular strategy.

In this workshop, we’ll demystify scapular biomechanics and anatomy to have the full picture so you’re not just following cues - you’re understanding the whole system. We’ll break down the how and why of the shoulders in weight-bearing postures so you can stop “muscling through”and build your foundation with intention. You’ll learn how your shoulder blades move with the arms overhead in postures like chair pose or even downward dog (hint: it’s not back and down!).

When you see how all the pieces fit together, subtle shifts in awareness will transform shaky transitions into grounded confidence. Expect anatomy made practical, drills you can feel immediately, and a whole new relationship with your shoulder alignment in yoga postures!

Most of us have heard the word mantra. Few of us have felt what happens when it actually moves through you. Step into a profound 45-minute immersion into one of yoga's oldest, most accessible, and most misunderstood meditation practices.

Japa is the practice of sacred repetition: offering a mantra again and again until the analytical mind completely quiets and something deeper begins to speak. Guided by Catherine Wetenkamp, a Master Teacher trained in Rishikesh, India, this session draws from a living Himalayan Tantric lineage. Cat carries these teachings with precision and deep care; what she offers here is not a simple technique, but a direct transmission.

You don't need prior meditation experience, and you don't need to know Sanskrit. You only need to show up and be willing to listen. Leave this session with a practical, powerful ritual you can use tomorrow morning at your desk, in your car, or in the quiet moments you didn't know you had.

Most people know what they should be doing, but find it nearly impossible to bridge the gap between information and actual daily practice. Enter the concept of Sādhana—the Sanskrit word for an intentional, daily spiritual practice. It is the grounding anchor you return to every single morning because it is what keeps you connected to your true self amidst the chaos of life.

Join world-class educator, Reiki Master, and ParaYoga specialist Jeremy Wolf for an illuminating, 90-minute workshop designed to end the cycle of starting over. Synthesizing traditional Eastern wisdom with modern somatic science, Jeremy strips away the guilt and idealism of modern wellness culture. You will learn the definitive psychological and energetic principles required to build a daily ritual sized specifically to your messy, everyday life—not a flawless, idealized version of it.

Who it is for: This masterclass is explicitly created for the practitioner who keeps starting over every single Monday. It is also an essential sanctuary for the yoga teacher who is constantly giving everyone else a practice while quietly wondering what happened to their own.
