Denver Yoga Summit in the News: KWGN Daybreak & 303 Magazine
On Friday, August 14, 2026, Denver Yoga Summit director Brittany Hopkins Switlick appeared live on KWGN Channel 2's Daybreak AND Great Day Colorado to talk about the Summit, a three-day yoga gathering at Denver Botanic Gardens at Chatfield Farms, September 11 through 13, 2026. That same week, 303 Magazine published a feature on the event. Below is what aired, what to read, and a discount code from the segment.
KWGN Channel 2's Daybreak
Brittany joined hosts Ken Clark and Chris Parente live on air Friday, August 14, 2026 morning to talk about the Summit's mission and what attendees can expect from a weekend at Chatfield Botanic Gardens. The segment included a live tree pose balance challenge. Heels were the wrong footwear choice for it, and Brittany owned that on air and again afterward on social media.
The conversation covered the parts of the Summit that do not fit neatly into a fitness category: the eight limbs of yoga, the philosophy workshops, the meditation and sound offerings, and the reason the event exists in the first place. Most people encounter yoga as an exercise class. The Summit was built to show them the rest of it.
Great Day Colorado: Find Your Zen
Later that same morning, Brittany appeared on Great Day Colorado, KDVR's companion segment to Daybreak, for a longer conversation about what a weekend at the Summit actually looks like. That segment is live now: Find Your Zen at the Denver Yoga Summit.

303 Magazine Feature
303 Magazine covered the Summit this month in a piece on Denver's growing wellness scene. The article notes that Denver has been ranked among the top five yoga-friendly cities in the country, and it puts a number on the gathering itself: more than 1,000 yoga teachers, practitioners, and wellness-minded community members are expected at Chatfield Farms this September.
The piece also introduces one of our speakers, Dan Nevins. Nevins is a highly decorated U.S. Army veteran who lost both legs below the knee and sustained a traumatic brain injury when an IED detonated beneath his vehicle in Iraq in 2004. He now works as a speaker and yoga teacher, and his message of resilience and perseverance has reached audiences for more than a decade. Having him on our speaker list is one of the things we are proudest of this year.

What the Denver Yoga Summit Is
If you found this page because you saw Brittany on TV Friday morning and you are not sure what the Summit is, here is the short version.
The Denver Yoga Summit is a three-day gathering at Denver Botanic Gardens at Chatfield Farms, a 700-acre native plant refuge and working farm in Littleton. It runs September 11 through 13, 2026, and includes more than 90 classes, workshops, talks, and community sessions across movement, philosophy, breathwork, meditation, and sound. Eight event spaces run at the same time, so a beginner can choose a chair yoga class while an advanced practitioner takes a power vinyasa flow one field over.
The Summit exists because most people experience yoga as a fitness class and never find out it is a complete way of living. It also exists because too many people walk into a yoga space and feel like they do not belong there, because of how they look, how flexible they are, or how long they have been practicing. The Summit was built to close both of those gaps. You can read the full story behind why the Summit exists in our origin story post.
Five percent of proceeds go to local nonprofits, including organizations serving veterans, people in trauma recovery, and low-cost mental health care. That commitment to seva runs through everything the Summit does, on stage and behind the scenes.
Why Three Local Placements in One Week Matters
None of this landed by accident, and none of it happened because of a single pitch. Brittany has spent twelve years building relationships across the Denver yoga community, first as a studio owner, then as a teacher trainer, then as the director who asked what it would take to bring a yoga gathering back to the city at an icodic location like the Denver Botanic Gardens at Chatfield Farms. Local news and local media outlets tend to notice patterns before they notice pitches. A three-day gathering expecting more than 1,000 people at a 700-acre garden, with 48 presenters and a veteran speaker whose story reaches far past the yoga community, is the kind of pattern that gets attention on its own.
That matters for you as a reader for a practical reason. A story that keeps showing up in different places, on TV, in print, in your inbox, is usually a sign the thing behind it is real and is happening whether or not you decide to go. The question worth asking is not whether the Summit is legitimate. Three outlets in one week answered that. The question is whether a weekend built around belonging and connection is something you want for yourself this September.

Everyone deserves to feel like they belong in yoga. Yoga belongs in every part of life, on and off the mat. That is the reason the Summit exists, and it is the same reason we get on live TV at 7am and talk about tree pose in the wrong shoes. Every camera, every article, every conversation is one more way to reach someone who has not walked into a yoga space yet because they were not sure they would belong there.
