About the Author

Brittany Hopkins Switlick is a seasoned yoga teacher, training facilitator and instructor, best-selling author, and speaker dedicated to empowering others in unlocking new ways forward.

Her journey in the world of yoga began in 2004 and has since blossomed into a multifaceted career that includes running her own yoga studio and yoga teacher training school and leading retreats nationally and internationally.

After retiring from the professional dance world, her adventurous spirit led her to drive a car that ran on waste vegetable oil, live in a straw bale house she co-built, and create dance programs at two international boarding schools (one in Utah and one in China).

When she’s not sharing the powerful practices of yoga and mindfulness, Brittany enjoys spending time with her family in Colorado, where she continues to explore new ways to live purposefully and authentically.

What People are Saying on Amazon about Dancing with Our Selves...

Dancing with Our Selves: A Practical Guide to Harness the Ego and Live on Purpose by Brittany Hopkins Switlick is an engaging book about understanding and harnessing your ego self in healthy ways and cultivating a stronger connection with your higher self.

As the ego self begins to develop in early childhood, shaping our responses based on the environment, experiences, and survival instincts, it tends to overshadow the higher self by dictating our every move. This book helps you recognize when and how your dramatic ego self takes the lead, causing you to react poorly and impulsively. It shows you how to allow your higher self to step forward in the partnership and guide you to a positive outcome.
It provides the right tools, insights, teachings, and practices needed to acknowledge how the ego self influences your behavior, keep it in check, and invite your higher self to guide you.

In Dancing with Our Selves, Brittany Hopkins Switlick delivers a thoughtful exploration of the ego's influence on our lives, blending ancient yogic philosophy with modern, applicable tools for self-discovery. This clear, practical, and helpful book delves deeply into the intricate dance between our ego and higher self while also exploring the complexities of the Drama Triangle and The Empowerment Dynamic® and their respective roles.

It empowers the reader to break free from self-sabotaging patterns, offering practical ways to navigate challenging situations with greater clarity, confidence, and less drama. I appreciated that it highlights the gifts the ego brings to our lives and the essential roles it plays, and also that it states how the ego itself is not inherently bad.
