See & hear what the Container Collective Community has to say about their experience
This place is beautiful and has a really good vibe and community feel. They give out lavender cold towels at the end of class for shivasana and it feels so good! Nice little touches like that. Also love that they have dogs around, so nice to pet some fur after an invigorating class. --Kestrel Mills
Went to my first yoga class here and cannot wait to go back! I had never tried Baptiste/ "hot" yoga before, but the instructor made me feel incredibly comfortable. There were varying levels of yogis in my class; as someone coming with mostly "youtube"/free community yoga experiences I felt unjudged and completely at ease to challenge myself. Today my body feels sore but so strong. Empowering! Oh yea, and there are 2 dogs at the studio... Double win! --Emily Holohan
I am a newbie and this is the second yoga studio I have gone to. Everyone is super friendly (very neighborhood/small-town feel) and well informed. Also, the space is really comfortable and they are doing something right with their heat (I got light-headed and had to leave the room at ANOTHER place). Anyway, I lucked out finding this place and am practicing yoga regularly. --Frank Byrnes
This is a great community studio. The “slow flow” is challenging but welcoming to beginners! Teachers are friendly and approachable, and so are the other students. The cold washcloth with (optional) essential oil at the end of class has me hooked. --Elise Seebach
I started coming to CC after moving to Lakewood earlier this summer. After practicing Baptiste style yoga for two years, I was hooked, and was anxiously hoping to find a new studio that could bring me the peace and strength I've discovered through other yoga establishments. CC is truly, truly awesome! All of the teachers are wonderful, the classes varied, and the energy authentic, fun, and non-pretentious. I'm so grateful to have found a new second "home," and look forward to becoming more involved in this community. --Laura Schwecherl
This is by far one of the greatest yoga studios, bike shops, and community spaces I have ever had the pleasure of being apart of. Every moment spent here is pure bliss. And it is totally worth coming to check out! --Samantha Andres

Brittany is the yin to my yoga yang! With her calm, steady cadence she guides you through your practice while offering non-judgment as you approach each pose at your level of comfort. --AC B.
I took about 20 yoga classes under Britt’s instruction and I saw a lot of improvement in my practice (I’m a complete yoga novice). Her patient and nurturing instruction really helped me gain confidence and enjoy the learning process. —Jarrod S. Brittany is kind and thoughtful. She makes the new learner feel comfortable and builds on the practice of advance students. She demonstrates the different modifications so you can benefit through each movement. She is easy to understand and knows how to approach each individual so you always leave with something that you accomplished and/or learned. She is easy to talk with and her love for Yoga is contagious. I look forward to another Yoga in the park soon!! --Cassandra B. Brittany was an angel …always kind and warm…exuding enthusiasm for everything she did. She endeared herself to all of her colleagues by putting on a weekly yoga session after work….it was amazing. Brittany is a total professional…able to make beginners (me) and experts alike advance and made all of us feel like we were worthy of her teaching…..whatever our standard…I was rather aged and low ability……I cannot recommend her classes highly enough. --Fran B. You definitely will enjoy a yoga class with Brittany . She is Awesome! --Steve M. Brittany makes anyone on the mat feel confident to stretch beyond their yoga comfort zone. She observes what each individual skill level is and then shares when she thinks they are ready to challenge themselves more. She gently guides, enthusiastically supports and then celebrates each yogi’s personal successes! My favorite practice partner! —Jennifer S. Brittany Hopkins was my first full time yoga teacher, she inspired me in ways I can’t even begin to describe. She helped me overcome many obstacles both on and off the mat. She was my inspiration to become a yoga teacher, which I now am. She allowed me to step up and help lead the class sometimes and be an example for those who needed guidance. She is a true gift to the world and I will forever be grateful for all that she has taught me. She was not only my yoga and dance teacher, but she is a friend and roll model. Brittany let me shine my light when before I knew how bright it was. I can honestly say, I would not be the yoga teacher I am now, without having a yoga teacher like her. Anyone that is gifted with the opportunity to be a student of hers, is truly blessed. — Sarah W. Brit was both my dance and yoga instructor all throughout high school, and she’s the kindest, most patient teacher I’ve encountered so far. She helped me not only become a better dancer, but also a more open-minded, loving person, with the way she leads by example. She is very knowledgeable about yoga and anything movement-related, and keeps all her classes interesting and varied! My flexibility and strength progressed a lot while I practiced with Brit, and I’m still doing yoga thanks to a seed she planted in my heart. --Genevieve O. Brittany Hopkins is an outstanding yoga instructor. Her classes are challenging, but suitable for people of all abilities/levels. I always felt pushed beyond my comfort zone, and not just physically. She encouraged me to try more challenging poses that I didn’t even know I could do, like Crow and Headstand. She connects mind and body beautifully throughout the entire lesson, reminding students to love their bodies and the world around them. —Liz K. Brittany is excellent. Her classes are challenging but I can also work at my level and push myself as much as I am able to. She is sensitive to the needs of the class and individuals. Class was spiritually refreshing as well. --Chrissy S. Ms. Hopkins is the reason why I dance! I had never danced and never thought I would until 4 years ago when she was highly recommended to me by many people! I took her class and have not stopped dancing since! She gives tactile feedback, is great at explaining things verbally and visually, and is very familiar with how the human body works which is a helpful part of her teaching. I am forever thankful for her and she is such an inspiring woman. --Stella R. I can’t express in words how much you have changed my life. When I came here I was totally lost with who I was. But you helped me discover who I am. You have turned me into the dancer that I have always wanted to become. You helped me get past the struggles in my life. I will always remember you for what you have done for me. --Hilary S. Brittany Hopkins is a special person who spreads joy and positivity in everyone she encounters. This is especially apparent in her yoga instruction. As a relatively inflexible male, I can attest to the fact that Brittany does an excellent job of “meeting each student where they are” and helping them grow. There were some poses that I could not get into, but Brittany was always there with suggestions and alternate poses until I could. Yoga classes for men can be both humbling and intimidating, but never feel this way with Brittany; as with any great coach, she believed in me more than I believed in myself. As she likes to say, “Yoga is for everybody! --Chris P. As mentioned in a previous review, the success and likelihood of me returning back for class after class is directly tied to the instructor. I’d done my fair share of yoga in multiple cities before moving to Denver to start over. The first practice I had when my feet landed on the ground here was with Brittany, and I’m so thankful for that! She’s helped me get back into a daily practice and is the patient, kind and knowledgable yogi I wish everyone could experience. Whether you’re a beginner, someone getting back into the swing of things, or looking to try Baptiste yoga as something different, I cannot recommend Brittany enough! Awesome flow, kind spirit and incredibly customer-service oriented. Hope to see you on the mat! --Anne T. I was fairly new to yoga when I met Brittany and I didn’t have a lot of confidence in my yoga abilities. Fortunately, Brittany is an incredibly patient, supportive and encouraging instructor. I improved a great deal from taking classes from her. She is super knowledgable and experienced and inspired me to believe in myself and what my body could do. I would recommend her classes to anyone, whether they are beginners or experienced yogis! — Meagan R. Brittany is an absolutely incredible teacher. I had no yoga experience when I first attended one of her classes. She nurtured my practice and helped me find safe modifications that built strength, flexibility, and endurance. I am a National Board Certified teacher, so I have some ground to stand on when talking about great teachers! — Chris E. |
