*What does it take to build a yoga festival from the ground up?*
Host Sheena sits down with Brittany Hopkins Switlick, founder and director of the Denver Yoga Summit, bestselling author, yoga teacher trainer, and community builder, to talk about how she turned a message with friends into a three-day wellness festival happening this September at the stunning Denver Botanic Gardens at Chatfield Farms.
