1200+ Hour Trained, E-RYT 500 Certified Yoga Training Facilitator and Power Yoga Teacher and owner of Lotus School of Yoga (formerly Container Collective Yoga) in Lakewood, CO.
Brittany is a seasoned yoga educator, yoga teacher training facilitator, personal development coach, 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, as well as 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 that she helped build, 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.

Hi! I'm Brittany, and I am here to hold space for you to feel comfortable and confident to stretch and move beyond your imagination, on and off you yoga mat.
I invite the light of the Universe to move, breathe, listen and speak through me--in the best interest of all involved!
I wasn’t naturally talented at things as a kid, but I was curious—and I was willing to put in the work to figure things out. That curiosity and perseverance turned out to be a perfect combination for sharing what I learn with others.
The teaching bug bit me as a summer camp counselor, where I taught my campers everything from French braiding to water skiing. I started college as an education major—until I realized I didn’t love English, math, or science enough to double major. So, I pivoted and majored in Art History, which allowed me to study abroad in Europe, and fill my schedule with as many dance classes as possible.
Teaching dance became a side gig for me in college, and after graduation, I moved to Chicago at my professor's encouragement. To my surprise, I ended up dancing professionally with companies in Chicago, Colorado, Utah, and Beijing. Those years were filled with incredible experiences and opportunities, but the most meaningful part was sharing the art of movement with others.
After meeting my first husband in Chicago, we landed in Utah in 2004. There, I created a dance program at a college prep boarding school. It was a turning point for me—I realized I could build something meaningful that had a positive impact. Watching my students from all over the world move with grace, confidence, and comfort in their bodies was deeply rewarding.
In 2004, during my first year at the school, I fell in love with yoga. When the yoga teacher stepped away, the school asked me to step in. Since I was already able to guide movement, it felt like a natural fit. Still, it wasn’t until 2013 that I attended my first yoga teacher training—and little did I know how profoundly it would impact my life, both on and off the mat.
At first, I thought yoga was something you did for 20-60 minutes a few times a week. But that training opened my eyes to yoga as a way of living and being in the world. From then on, I shifted my focus from spending money on international travel to investing in yoga teacher trainings. I wanted to learn everything I could—not just for myself but for the people I served.
After a year teaching dance and yoga at an international school in Beijing, I made my way to Colorado, where I began offering free yoga in the park. That small beginning grew into Container Collective Yoga, which served thousands of community members from 2014 to 2021.
Coming out of the pandemic, I was divorced with a 2.5-year-old son and completely exhausted. I made the decision to sell the yoga building and take the studio online.
Fast forward to today, through a beautiful new marriage and the birth of my second child, I’m living my dream life. Being a mom is my top priority, but I’m grateful to still share yoga through my online video library and pop-up classes. I moonlight as a community yoga teacher for Sunny Isle Yoga, where I also lead yoga teacher trainings.
And now, to share the tools that have supported me through all the ups and downs of life, I’ve written a book!
Thank you for being here—I can’t wait to connect with you!
