Denver Yoga Summit

Step off the grid and onto your mat in one of Colorado’s most breathtaking settings. Join creative sequencing expert and founder of the Steal My Flow movement, Juliana LaRochelle, at the stunning Open Air Chapel in the botanic gardens. Surrounded by wildflowers and native plants, this dynamic, 60-minute all-levels Vinyasa masterclass uses the Rocky Mountain foothills as your natural altar.

Grounded in inclusivity, Juliana’s intuitive teaching style allows every practitioner to customize their journey in real time. The first 50 minutes of class are dedicated to a creatively woven, continuous flow that builds internal heat while melting away stored tension. The session culminates in 10 minutes of intentional community-building, bridging the connection from the mat to the collective space around you. Walk away feeling centered, inspired, and deeply connected to your fellow attendees. Every body is welcome.

Step off the frantic pace of daily life and into an ancient movement ritual of total rejuvenation. Presented by Sunny Isle Yoga and hosted in the breathtaking Open Air Chapel, this session invites you to experience the Classical Hatha Yoga Sivananda Sequence—a systematic "science of the soul" designed to balance your chakras and recharge your energetic blueprint under the open Colorado sky.

Guided by master teacher Mimi Morales, the practice begins with foundational pranayama (advanced breathwork) to clear mental static and cool the nervous system. From there, Mimi will skillfully lead you through the 12 foundational asanas, structurally engineered to optimize every major biological system of the body. Whether you are a seasoned practitioner or a curious beginner, you will leave this sacred chapel space with a profound sense of inner stillness and a practical, lifelong template for your home practice.

Hours spent hunched over a laptop or phone inevitably create the “desk body” (rounded shoulders, sleepy glutes, locked-up hips, and forward head posture). Over time, these structural patterns chip away at your daily energy, cloud your focus, and compromise long-term spinal health.

Step into the beautiful Open Air Chapel for a definitive antidote to modern screen time. Guided by Exercise Physiologist and The Healthy Yinzer founder Nick Venuti, this fast-acting functional flow seamlessly blends classical yoga, Pilates, and targeted corrective exercise.

Together, you will methodically wake up your deep core, ignite inhibited glutes, release chronically tight hip flexors, and strengthen your posterior chain to pull your spine back into natural alignment. By pairing precise biomechanics with intentional breathwork, Nick teaches your body how to sit taller, move smarter, and release stored physical stress.

The Takeaway: Leave your mat feeling physically taller, deeply re-energized, and equipped with practical, 5-minute movement drills you can slot into your workday to prevent injury.

Who it is for: Perfectly accessible to all fitness levels. Highly recommended for corporate professionals, remote workers, and yoga instructors looking for smart sequencing variables.

Step into a movement ritual where breath takes the absolute lead. Presented by Breath of Life Yoga in the spectacular Open Air Chapel, this all-levels Vinyasa masterclass seamlessly journeys from mindful centering into a dynamically woven physical flow, closing with grounding restorative shapes.

Your guide, Keisha Archuleta (E-RYT 200, RYT 500), teaches from a place of deep personal transformation rather than rigid performance. Having used the principles of yoga to navigate a 150-pound weight loss, corporate career demands, and triathlons, Keisha designs her sequences to be inclusive by nature. Blending Vinyasa architecture with elements of Kriya, Kundalini, and targeted breathwork, this session prioritizes self-compassion over chasing idealized postures. Come breathe in the fresh foothills air, move with intuitive grace, and experience a practice that is both physically alive and quietly meaningful.

You're moving your body and you're learning how to safely live inside of it again. Step onto the peaceful lawn of the Open Air Chapel for a deeply restorative, 60-minute all-levels somatic masterclass. Guided by mental health therapist and ShambhavAnanda Yoga educator Colbie, this session merges clinical mindfulness with traditional Hatha yoga to help you slow down, soften, and reconnect with the profound wisdom of your own body.

The journey opens with gentle pranayama (breathwork) and therapeutic mindfulness practices specifically engineered to settle a busy mind, down-regulate a hyper-aroused nervous system, and establish deep internal safety. From this grounded foundation, Colbie leads a slow, intuitive flow designed from the inside out. Through intentional, gentle movement, you will listen closely to your body’s unique cues, follow your organic curiosity, and discover the subtle sensations of ease and comfort. We will close the experience with an extended, deeply restorative savasana beneath the open Colorado sky, allowing your mind and body to fully integrate the healing. Leave feeling refreshed, grounded, and deeply cared for.

Unplug from the movement of the day and step into a sanctuary of absolute stillness. Hosted in the breathtaking Open Air Chapel, this dual-modality masterclass pairs the deep physical release of Yin Yoga with the profound mental restoration of Yoga Nidra.

The journey begins with Yin treated as a deep, physical meditation. You will explore unhurried transitions and long holds of 3 to 5 minutes, specifically engineered to move stagnant energy through the body and safely clear tension from your deep connective tissues and fascia. Once the physical body is completely softened, you will transition into Yoga Nidra—a fully guided, effortless meditation practiced lying down beneath the open Colorado sky. This conscious rest protocol is designed to rapidly regulate an overwhelmed nervous system, quiet mental chatter, and foster deep somatic integration. Leave the chapel feeling profoundly spacious, light, and returned to your true self.

Pro-Tip (Critical): Because your body temperature drops drastically during long, still holds, please bring a thick mat, a warm blanket, an eye cover, and extra cozy layers (sweatshirt, socks) to maximize your comfort on the lawn. All levels welcome.

Liberatory Yoga Flow is a trauma-informed yoga practice developed by Soraya Latiff that centers embodied autonomy, collective lived experience, imagination, and liberation. In this one-hour offering, Soraya brings together Hatha Vinyasa and Kemetic Yoga, honoring yoga's and her own ancestral lineages while creating space for practitioners to explore what liberation can feel like within their own bodies and lives.
Through intentional movement, breath, and accessible options for all levels, we will honor the wisdom our bodies carry, including our individual and collective lived experiences, while making space to reimagine and practice what is possible for ourselves and our collective.
This practice asks us to consider: What becomes possible when we are able to move beyond survival and toward the collective lives we dream of? What are we being called to remember, embody, and create in this lifetime?
We will close with meditation and guided visualization.

In a world driven by constant digital stimulation, chronic stress, and exhaustion, many of us are actively hunting for a way back to ourselves. Step into the open-air sanctuary of the Open Air Chapel for a profound, grounding masterclass engineered to completely recalibrate your body and mind.

Guided by international retreat leader and Yoga Adventure founder Dasa Das, this highly experiential workshop beautifully bridges ancient yogic wisdom with modern nervous system science. Moving far beyond rigid performance or perfection, Dasa Das introduces an accessible, heart-centered approach to Kundalini-inspired movement, intentional breathwork loops, somatic release, and vocal mantra integration. Surrounded by the fresh mountain breeze, you will learn practical, real-world tools to dismantle anxiety, release deep-seated tension, and regulate your biological stress response.

The Promise: This all-levels container is built for every body and every human experience. You will leave the chapel lawn feeling deeply grounded, emotionally balanced, energized, and profoundly connected to your surrounding community.

What if the social and physical structures we move within (both on and off the mat) were not built on hierarchy, but on pure, radiant interconnection?

Presented by the Yoga Center of Denver and hosted in the spectacular Open Air Chapel, this experiential masterclass begins with a singular, revolutionary question: Can you recognize yourself as one sun among many suns, equally essential: not above, and not below? Guided by master lineage holder, multidisciplinary artist, and Kutuhala Yoga Shala founder Vinita Mundluru, participants will physically arrange their mats into the sacred geometric grid of the Flower of Life pattern.

The journey opens with a grounding internal meditation before launching into a rich asana flow guided by ancient storytelling and Vedantic philosophy. Midway through, the energy shifts into an active, eyes-open authentic relating ritual of real contact and presence, inviting you to meet your peers as living points in the exact same cosmic pattern. Tracing the threads between classical duality and ultimate wholeness, this session doesn't just describe connection—it actively demonstrates it. Leave your mat having lived the practice, completely anchored in your creative birthright.

Guided by Dr. Hayley Benson (E-RYT 500)—a Doctor of Physical Therapy, veteran clinician, and professional triathlete—this session seamlessly loops together an imaginative aquatic matrix of postures. You will dynamically ride the waves of the practice through shapes like half lord of the fishes, jellyfish, divers, seahorse, surfer's lunge, starfish, turtle, whale's tail, boat, fish, seal, dolphin, and mermaid. Hayley leverages her deep biomechanical expertise to deliver clinical clarity with immense warmth and humor, ensuring every transitions feels strong, safe, and entirely free.

As the wheel turns toward the Fall Equinox, we arrive at a beautiful threshold, where summer’s fire softens and the winds of autumn begin to stir. Step onto your mat in the breathtaking Open Air Chapel for a profound seasonal alignment masterclass. In Ayurveda, this portal marks the rapid shift from Pitta's fire and clarity into Vata's cool, unpredictable movement. Guided by veteran E-RYT 500 educator and Shakti School-certified Ayurveda Guide Heather Lindemann, this workshop is a deeply embodied movement and pranayama journey designed to help you cross this seasonal threshold with ease.

Together, you will explore how specific pranayama practices can cool excess internal heat, anchor restless mental energy, and insulate your nervous system against seasonal anxiety. Weaving ancient elemental ritual with modern practicality, Heather guides you through a gentle asana flow to prepare the body, precise breathwork to restore balance, and a closing Yoga Nidra to lock in the integration. Leave the chapel lawn feeling deeply rooted, resourced, and completely intentional.
