Opening Ceremony: Welcome & Sacred Land Acknowledgment
Friday September 11, 2026 5:55pm - 6:15pm MDT
- Main Stage
Before the music begins, we begin. ✨

Join us at the Main Stage Field on Friday evening for our brief, powerful opening ceremony to kick off the Denver Yoga Summit. Hosted by our fantastic emcee Jordan White, this session features a beautiful land acknowledgment that will have us feeling connected to each other and the land, rooted in presence and respect by Indigenous educator Sequoia Garza-Keith. Summit founder Brittany Hopkins Switlick will then open the container, setting our shared intentions for the magical three days ahead. Come ground your feet on the earth, meet the community that will spend the weekend on the mats around you, and get ready for an unforgettable Denver Yoga Summit!
