Denver Yoga Summit

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!

The Summit officially begins here. You’ve spent two hours exploring the marketplace, finding your bearings, and/or meeting the souls on the mats around you. At 6:00 PM, we officially gather as a collective. Sequoia Garza Keith will open the portal, introducing us to the sacred land beneath our feet and to each other, giving us space to arrive fully and set a unified intention for the three days ahead.

Then, Mose takes the Main Stage.

As a globally touring producer and DJ, Mose creates at the vibrant intersection of global rhythms, medicine songs, and ancestral melodies. He spends extended periods in deep retreat and silence between tours; what he brings back is music that feels less like a performance and more like a transformative passage. His sole intention is to open something dormant within each of us.

The journey begins in stillness. By the end, everyone on the Main Stage field is moving as one living, breathing wave. You won't quite know how you got from one to the other—only that you arrived together.

The elements: The sun will set over the dramatic Rocky Mountain foothills at 7:30 PM. You are outside. It is September in Colorado. There is no controlled version of this experience, and we wouldn't want one. This is not the pregame—this is the first moment we are all together. It is an experience you will carry home in your bones.

Roll out your mat on the Main Stage Field and look up at the towering foothills of the Rockies. Now, prepare to look inward. Join combat veteran, global motivational speaker, and internationally celebrated yoga teacher Dan Nevins for a dynamic Vinyasa practice that will completely transform your relationship with your mat—and your life.

As a bilateral amputee, Dan’s deeply moving perspective on what it truly means to "root down to rise up" breathes new life into the phrase "yoga for every-body". This all-levels sequence is meticulously structured to build physical strength, unwavering confidence, and radical presence. Expect highly thoughtful sequencing, exceptionally clear physical options, and an unshakeable emphasis on feeling profoundly empowered in your body exactly as it is today. Come stand strong against the backdrop of the mountains. All levels, bodies, and backgrounds are warmly welcomed.

Roll out your mat on the Main Stage Field and prepare to step into the deeper, evolutionary layers of your practice. Rooted in ancient Tantric traditions and Himalayan Kriya Yoga, this powerful 90-minute immersion is guided by globally trained Sattva Yoga Master Teacher Catherine Wetenkamp. More than just a class, this session is a direct energetic transmission where breath, conscious awareness, and primal life force begin to move as one giant wave against the backdrop of the Rockies.

Kriya utilizes a precise combination of breathwork (pranayama), energetic locks (bandhas), sacred sound (mantra), and subtle, repetitive movement. These ancient technologies are engineered to safely awaken and guide your Kundalini Shakti (inner current) with absolute precision and reverence.

The Transformation: Kriya is often described as evolutionary action. It doesn’t just shift how you feel for an hour; it radically alters the lens through which you perceive reality, dissolving the mental barriers holding you back. This is your sacred space to refine your sensitivity to prana, clear away stubborn subconscious blockages, and experience what becomes possible when your system is prepared to hold more energy, more awareness, and more truth. Grounded, fierce, and deeply inward, this is for those ready to move beyond the surface of asana and into the work that transforms from within.

Get ready to lift your voice, move your body, and connect to the divine current within. Meet us on the Main Stage Field for an ecstatic evening of Bhakti Yoga with Boulder’s own Divino BetSatori. This is a fully interactive, call-and-response chanting experience designed to shake off hesitation and ignite collective joy against the backdrop of the Rockies.

Blending ancient spiritual wisdom with modern musical insight, Divino BetSatori delivers a mesmerizing sonic journey. Led by founder Bruno Treves, the full band weaves traditional kirtan and medicine music with original songs that can only be described as a soulful fusion of indie-acoustic folk-rock, hip-hop, and reggae. Seamlessly shifting from moments of deep, meditative reverence to wild, high-vibe dance rhythms, this session is on a singular mission: to help you Remember Your Divinity. Come ready to sing, clap, and celebrate with your global community!

Shakti—the creative life force within every body—does not need to be earned or unlocked. It simply needs space to move. Meet us on the Main Stage Field for a beautiful collaboration. Created by veteran embodiment guide Kimberly (Kimmy) Hidalgo and powered by the ecstatic, blissful beats of international producer and master scratch DJ Sol Rising, this session is designed to awaken your wild, untamed energy against the backdrop of the Rockies.

The journey opens in absolute grounding before Kimmy introduces a fluid, unhurried movement practice guided entirely by breath and raw sensation rather than rigid form or performance. There is no "perfect" expression of a pose. As you move, Sol Rising weaves an exclusive, live electronic soundscape—seamlessly blending hip-hop-infused mid-tempo, chill-trap, and ambient lo-fi textures to act as your medicine. Building into a warm, collective wave of uninhibited movement and connection, the session closes in deep stillness to allow your nervous system to fully integrate.

Who it is for: This all-levels, trauma-informed practice is for every body, every level, and every individual who has ever felt like they didn't quite fit the shape traditional yoga was asking them to make. Come home to yourself.

Everything is frequency. Meet us on the Main Stage Field for an unforgettable headline listening journey. Created by GRAMMY®-nominated ambient music producer, writer, and DJ Gem Auset, The Soft Reset is a live, cinematic audio masterclass designed to help you land deeply in your body, soften an overworked nervous system, and reconnect to your true self through the medicine of sound.

Performing live against the backdrop of the Rockies, Gem weaves an intricate sonic tapestry where nature, spirit, and technology meet. Utilizing live instrumentation, electronic decks, processed vocals, organic field recordings, and the powerful resonance of 432 Hz and Solfeggio-inspired tones, this session guides the entire field into a state of profound collective presence. Shifting seamlessly between symphonic ambient frequencies and guided moments of absolute stillness, this is an immersive experience created to elevate your emotions and restore total internal balance.

Jordan travels with just a harmonium and an open heart. The simplicity is the entire point. In a vibrant weekend filled with constant movement, deep learning, and active becoming, this headline session is your official invitation to simply be—together, in sound, at the end of a day that asked a lot of you.

Join international Bhakti artist Jordan Loder on the Main Stage Field for an evening of raw vulnerability, deep laughter, and profound stillness under the Colorado sky. Deeply influenced by the non-dual teachings of Ramana Maharshi and his extensive global tours alongside kirtan icons like Deva Premal & Miten and Snatam Kaur, Jordan weaves ancient Hindu and Buddhist mantras centered on forgiveness, gratitude, and compassion. His contemporary, unpretentious approach strips away spiritual titles to offer a refreshing space for genuine emotional release. Bring a blanket, sit close to the earth, and let the acoustic resonance of call-and-response chanting guide you home to the ever-present Self.

In a modern world obsessed with speed, true mastery lies in slowing down. Roll out your mat on the expansive Main Stage Field and look out at the timeless majesty of the Rocky Mountains. Join globally renowned master educator Ryan Leier for a deliberately paced Vinyasa practice that honors the deep, traditional roots of the practice while stripping away the need for rush or force.

Drawing from decades of international study and global leadership, Ryan guides a steady, deeply thoughtful flow that treats transitions as their own beautiful destination. Instead of rushing to achieve a shape, this masterclass invites you to anchor into intelligent structural alignment, track your breath with precision, and feel deeply into the subtle energy of every posture. You will leave the main field feeling physically strong, mentally spacious, and profoundly integrated into your own present body. All levels, body types, and lineages are warmly welcomed to join this collective wave of movement.

No pose has to be perfect before you try it, and every single body belongs in this space. Meet us on the Main Stage Field for an explosive, high-vibe celebration of strength, flight, and play. Led by Denver native and movement specialist Bri Leonard, and powered live by the euphoric, genre-bending sounds of international touring sensation DJ Sol Rising, this Rocket Yoga masterclass is designed to push your boundaries and leave you completely changed.

Rooted in traditional Ashtanga lineages but heavily remixed for modern bodies, Rocket Yoga strips away the stiffness of standard practice. Drawing from her background in competitive dance and cheerleading, Bri infuses every single transition with absolute precision and joyful athleticism. Expect creative transitions, accessible arm balances, and empowering inversions built for practitioners who want to be challenged while having serious fun. Come ready to sweat, fly, and celebrate your power under the open Colorado sky!

You won’t just learn the map of your energetic anatomy—you will physically feel it. Meet us on the Main Stage Field for a profound exploration of the subtle body and the hidden channels through which your raw life force moves. Guided by master somatic educator and shamanic practitioner Jessa Lin Rose, and powered live by the euphoric, genre-bending beats of international touring sensation DJ Sol Rising, this masterclass bridges the gap between ancient practice and modern neurological pattern transformation.

Jessa holds a rare mastery-level background in neurolinguistics and nearly a decade of immersion in shamanic lineages, allowing her to bring absolute depth and clinical precision to spaces that are often diluted or abstract.

Moving together against the backdrop of the Rockies, you will use dynamic movement, intentional breathwork sequences, and vocal sound integration to actively perceive and interact with the unseen biofield. Sol Rising—a former DMC finalist with over 200 million streams—weaves an exclusive, live electronic soundscape of ambient, chill-trap, and lo-fi textures to safely guide your nervous system into an expanded state of awareness. Leave the field with a radical connection to your intuition, an unshakeable sense of personal sovereignty, and a deep cellular reset.

Step into a sphere of pure devotion, breathe it in, and carry it home in your bones. Meet us on the Main Stage Field for an extraordinary, long-form musical odyssey with Colorado's premier sound journey jam band, Bhaktisphere. This is a living, breathing landscape of sound that moves fluidly between kirtan-style mantra chanting, vast ambient medicine journeys, and high-vibe, danceable jams under the open Colorado sky.

Drawing from a rich tapestry of spiritual lineages, including Buddhism, Taoism, Kundalini, and ancestral traditions, Bhaktisphere treats every gathering as a portal for collective awakening. Driven by elite professional musicians utilizing electric ambient guitars, synths, spoken word, and the haunting resonance of the Native American flute, the band specializes in spontaneous, channeled songwriting that mirrors the energy of the crowd. Participation is entirely optional, and there are zero rules: movement is welcome, stillness is welcome, and whatever naturally arises within you is the perfect response.

You came in as a stranger. You leave as part of something vastly bigger. Gather on the Main Stage Field for the official closing ceremony of the summit weekend. Summit founder Brittany Hopkins Switlick will guide a short, intentional closing ritual to seal our collective container, giving us a dedicated space to name the insights we are carrying home, honor the souls we practiced beside, and consciously mark the shift from this sacred weekend back into our daily lives.

The Grand Giveaway: Before the music starts, we will be drawing the official raffle prizes live! Be ready to win wellness gear, studio passes, and summit treasures to our lucky community winners.

Then, GRAMMY® nominee Gem Auset takes over the decks for the ultimate sonic send-off. Her live electronic DJ set closes the summit exactly the way it started: with a massive collective exhale that transforms into free-flowing, uninhibited movement. Come celebrate the music, the prizes, the mountain air, and the beautiful truth that yoga doesn't just look like static shapes on a mat.
