Brittany Smith is a Texas girl, based out of Boulder, Colorado. She is a 500-hour registered yoga teacher (E-RYT 500), and holds several supplementary yoga certificates. Brittany is also a certified Personal Trainer, and Reiki practitioner.“I found myself in child’s pose after a serious injury that severely limited my mobility. By some miracle shortly after my injury, I happened upon a yoga studio. For several months the only posture I was able to do was child’s pose. I would stay in the same corner, day after day, class after class, with my forehead to my mat, and I would envision myself doing the postures as the teacher called them; some days I didn’t listen and cried instead. Over time, I tried more poses, and as my body grew stronger, my inner resolve and sense of radical self love blossomed. The space yoga created for me to heal my physical body, my thought patterns, and connection with myself is something I remember every time I teach and practice yoga. I cherish the wisdom a yoga practice offers, and it is an honor for me to facilitate my yoga students through their personal processes.”Brittany loves all things mystical, magical, and mysterious. She is a habitual dreamer, and a ravenous student of metaphysics. Through her knowledge of esoteric teachings, and studies of integrated physiology, Brittany offers one-of-a-kind yoga classes. Through her journey teaching in the Boulder Area, Brittany discovered her love for innovation and entrepreneurship which inspired her to create a purposeful yoga retreat company, Awakened Travel, where she brings private groups to some of the most amazing places on the planet and AwakenLIVE, a virtual teaching platform designed to inspire teachers of all sorts to share their skillset with their students online.Outside of teaching, Brittany works with Threshold Project which supports the thresholds of life through apex events such as Death Summit and Birth Summit. She also volunteers with the Colorado Pet Pantry which helps families stay together by providing supplementary food for cats and dogs.
