Meet Brittany Hopkins
Founder/Teacher/Facilitator

​Brittany is just simply amazing. Her knowledge, ability to provide space for personal growth and mindfulness makes for a beautiful and genuine experience.
-Saylor

As an E-RYT 1200 hour certified Baptiste Power Yoga Instructor/Facilitator, Brittany believes strongly in making a positive difference in the world. Her goal is to invite others into their own greatness.

​Her warm-hearted spirit brings light & joy wherever she travels. Whether she is dancing, playing with her child, practicing or teaching yoga, Brittany inspires others to use their bodies to create a sense of peace for themselves.
 
She leads yoga teacher trainings across the country & yoga retreats around the world. She is a professional dancer turned yogi & stumbled into teaching yoga when she was teaching dance at Wasatch Academy, a college prep boarding school in central Utah. In 2005, the yoga teacher quit & they wanted to keep the program going, so she stepped in. After getting her yoga teaching certificate she says, "I didn't know the powerful impact Yoga Teacher Training would have on my personal life, outside of the yoga studio, in my everyday life."

She is also a mother, wife, and dog mom. :)

Heidi Schumacher

Heidi is a Colorado native who found a love for yoga when searching for a new way to stay fit. She was hooked after just a few classes and completed her RYT 200 certification in early 2017 and RYT 300 in 2022. Heidi hopes to bring a fun and powerful practice to her students. She feels yoga is a great way to escape the daily grind and invest in oneself, and she hopes to empower any level yogi to do just that. She incorporates essential oils into her classes and workshops to bring a whole new experience to the yoga practice. She'll encourage you to push your limits and have fun while you increase your physical and mental strength. 
At a young age, Heidi recognized her passion and love for animals. Working in the veterinary field in emergency and critical care for over a decade, she gets to feed that passion by working with and caring for animals and their people. She lives in Lakewood with her dog, Maddie, and cat, Sully. She loves everything the Colorado outdoors has to offer, as well as traveling and exploring new places and trying out new cuisine.
