Pregnancy and postpartum are often framed as a transition into someone new, as if you are becoming someone you are not yet. This practice offers a different lens: nothing essential is lost in this process. Meet us beneath the cool, shaded arches of the Lavender Pergola to learn how to stay in relationship with what has always been within you while everything around you shifts.
Guided by Kelsey Mueller, this session is designed specifically for prenatal and postpartum bodies (not as a modified version of a standard class, but as a practice created for the intelligence and lived reality of this season). Surrounded by the soothing fragrance of blooming lavender, you will explore how to stay connected to yourself through change without overriding your body's signals.
What to Expect: This workshop-style class guides you through intentional movement designed to support pelvic stability, deep breath awareness, and whole-body integration. Expect grounding postures, joint-friendly strength building, and restorative pauses for nervous system support.

Come as you are. Your body knows more than you think. All stages of pregnancy, postpartum, and yoga experience levels are warmly welcomed.

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
