Strong Where You Sit: Chair-Based Yoga
Sunday September 13, 2026 9:30am - 10:30am PDT
Redefine your boundaries and unlock new physical momentum. Meet us beneath the shaded, vine-covered pathways of the beautiful Lavender Pergola for a refreshing 60-minute practice that blends movement with the healing fragrance of blooming lavender. Led by expert instructor Abigail Atkinson, this specialized masterclass uses the chair as a steady reference point to explore innovative seated movement and rock-solid, chair-supported standing postures.

This session is thoughtfully designed for practitioners who can walk, but may navigate balance challenges or movement limitations. Abigail offers a brilliant, joint-friendly blend of mobility exercises, accessible functional strength, and balance work.

You will leave the pergola feeling deeply empowered, structurally aligned, and completely attuned to your body's unique morning energy. All capabilities and bodies are warmly welcomed!

Two-Minute In-Class Workshops to Empower Your Students
Sunday September 13, 2026 11:00am - 12:00pm PDT
ADMISSION NOTE: Access to this session requires a Full Teacher Summit Pass or a Teacher Track Add-On Ticket for entry and CE credit tracking.

Many alignment cues go completely unheard while students are deep in their physical flow. Or, worse, a student internally hears "you're doing it wrong," even when that is not what you said. The result is a student who leaves feeling self-conscious, a class that loses its physical momentum, and an instructor who stops offering alignment cues altogether out of frustration.

Join Denver Yoga Summit founder and master educator Brittany Hopkins Switlick for an invaluable, practical workshop that delivers the ultimate solution to cueing fatigue. Content from Brittany's elite 300-hour Advanced Leadership Teacher Training, this session teaches a repeatable, four-step formula for delivering powerful alignment insights mid-class in under two minutes flat.

Core Curriculum Competencies:
  • Momentum Preservation: Learn to deliver a comprehensive, multi-layered alignment insight mid-class in two minutes or less without stalling class flow.
  • Empowerment Framing: Master the psychological linguistic shifts required to frame physical alignment cues so students experience a new possibility rather than criticism.
  • The Four-Point Connection: Discover how to seamlessly connect a single structural cue to real-time safety, physical strength, breath capacity, or cross-pose application.
  • Real-Time Discernment: Upgrade your scanning eye to spot alignment opportunities in real time, knowing exactly when to deploy the formula versus when to keep the class moving.
  • Note: This is a limited-capacity, hands-on laboratory. Please ensure you have upgraded your Visitors Center to a Teacher Track Ticket

Adaptive Foundations: Chair Yoga Essentials for Teaching with Confidence
Sunday September 13, 2026 1:00pm - 2:30pm PDT
A 90-minute hands-on lab for chair-based classes: smart sequencing, prop strategies, and adaptable variations you can use immediately. Join Abigail for fresh inspiration on making yoga more inclusive for people living with disabilities, chronic illnesses, injuries, or older adults. In this Teacher Track workshop, you’ll learn chair yoga essentials you can use right away: how to set up the chair and props for support and stability, how to build chair sequences that feel cohesive (not random), and how to create useful posture variations so students with different physical abilities can participate. You’ll move, test prop set-ups, and practice adapting common shapes in real time, then leave with a chair yoga sequence you can start using now.

The Studio Owners Circle: Collaboration Over Competition
Sunday September 13, 2026 3:00pm - 4:00pm PDT
Tear down the walls that say there is any competition in the business of yoga. If you are a former, current, or aspiring yoga studio owner, you are warmly invited to claim a seat at this specialized, high-impact mastermind gathering. Presented under the tranquil, fragrant shade of the Lavender Pergola, this session is explicitly not a dry, competitive networking mixer, rather it's a collaborative, empowering experience built to refuel local conscious entrepreneurs.

Guided by Mimi Morales, the visionary leader behind the thriving Sunny Isle Yoga community, this circle creates a safe, family-like container to openly voice current business struggles, celebrate inspiring entrepreneurial achievements, and share tactical industry insights. Together, you will collaboratively brainstorm modern solutions for client retention, teacher burnout, and operational longevity. Walk away from the pergola feeling deeply supported, thoroughly inspired, and equipped with a powerful local network of allies to help you continue leading your community with fierce alignment.
