About Us.

What We’re About:

OUR MISSION
Using the practices of yoga asana, meditation, and pranayama, we strive to build deeper connections to self, community, and the world through inquiry, curiosity, and action.

At Better Buzz Yoga, we believe that nervous system regulation is at the cornerstone of advocacy and collective well-being. When our systems are calm and grounded, we have the capacity to act skillfully—with clarity, purpose, and long-term sustainability. A regulated nervous system allows us to listen deeply, communicate compassionately, and engage in meaningful change without burning out.

As a Digital Wellness Studio, we recognize how our fast-paced, hyperconnected world can pull us away from presence. Through mindful movement, breath, and digital boundaries, we reclaim our ability to slow down and reconnect—both with ourselves and one another. We ask that you please leave your phone in the lobby ♡.

As a team of teachers, we are committed to growth—within our practice, our personal evolution, and our studio community. Like yoga itself, we are a work in progress, a continuous journey of learning and becoming.

We value feedback—both constructive and complimentary—and honor each other’s differences, styles, and lived experiences. Because ultimately, it’s our diversity that makes our community so vibrant. In many ways, it becomes clear that our differences are the very thing that unite us.

 
 

  • We pay our respect to the Arapahoe, Ute, Cheyenne and Sioux bands, tribes and Nations, and the Indigenous people of Denver County, and all of Colorado. We acknowledge the ancient holders of this ancestral land on which we and our families live, work and play.

  • As a studio, we acknowledge our biases and the role privilege plays in shaping our world. While privilege can create division and fear, it can also be used to remove barriers and promote healing. We recognize that structural inequities perpetuate trauma and limit access to wellness.

    We’re committed to viewing our work through an intersectional lens—listening deeply, honoring experiences different from our own, and growing through the conversations that challenge us on the path toward collective healing and justice.

  • BBY is dedicated to continually reassessing what it means to be ‘in the work.’ Yoga has become a largely appropriated practice of the privileged, but we are committed to strengthening our community by actively working to make our space and yoga more accessible, while also learning, honoring and acknowledging the roots of this, for most of us, ‘borrowed’ practice.


    We are evolving.

  • We are a gently heated, vinyasa flow studio. We use infrared radiant heat to warm our room to a comfortable and beneficial 88 degrees.

    Our goal by heating our space with this specific type of heat and to this temperature is to help facilitate a healthy immune response and regeneration of our body’s tissues, muscles and joints through increased circulation and oxygenation.

    WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HEATED VINYASA YOGA AND 'HOT' YOGA?

    These are two different styles within the same family of yoga (Hatha Yoga). Hot or Bikram Yoga is a fixed sequence of 26 concentrated postures practiced in a room heated to 105 degrees. Vinyasa Flow is a dynamic style of yoga focused on synchronizing breath with continuous movement - each sequence aligns with inhalations and exhalations.

    At Better Buzz, the sequences you practice will be tied to music in a room heated to between 85-95 degrees, depending on the number of students.

  • Unlike many heated yoga studios, at Better Buzz, you will experience  infrared heating panels. These panels heat like the sun, warming your body from within and providing a therapeutic, deep penetrating, detoxifying form of heat which expels toxins, heavy metals and pollutants from the body, providing significant benefits. 

    FAR infrared heat promotes a stronger immune system, better cardiovascular health, and it also speeds up the healing process in soft tissue injuries such as tears, pulls, and sprains. The penetrating heat of FAR infrared heat therapy helps heal scars, wounds, and cuts, it also smoothes skin’s texture, lessens coarseness, and reduces pore size. 

    Infrared heat penetrates the skin and gets into the cells. This type of heat rejuvenates and detoxifies the body on a cellular level. We use this particular type of heating system specifically to benefit the health of our students. 

    BENEFITS OF USING FAR INFRARED HEAT: 

    • Reduces stress and fatigue 

    • Strengthens the cardiovascular system 

    • Heals injuries faster and more efficiently 

    • Relieves pain and migraine headaches 

    • Eases joint pain and stiffness 

    • Relaxes muscles and increases flexibility 

    • Deep cleanses skin naturally 

    • Removes toxins and mineral waste 

    • Improves the immune system 

    • Increases metabolism 

    • Removes heavy metals, toxins and pollutants from the tissues 

     * Please note, while our heated classes are considered safe and therapeutic for healthy individuals, it is always recommended that you check with your doctor or a medical professional before practicing if you have any concerns. Because younger students are not able to regulate their body temperature as well as adults, students under 16 are not permitted to practice at BBY and those who are 16-18 must be accompanied by an adult. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause! 

  • TIMELINESS + Registration

    • Please pre-register for classes ahead of time and be ready on your mat five minutes prior to class beginning. 

    • Many of our classes do reach capacity and we will go on a wait list. We will begin allowing waitlisted students in five minutes prior to start time.

    • Please note, we do lock our doors at class start time.

    Studio Etiquette

    • Please remove your shoes before entering the studio space

    • We’re a Digital Wellness Studio, please give yourself the time and space to practice and leave your cell phone in the reception (exceptions may be made for those with on-call roles).

    • Please dress appropriately (i.e., yoga pants, shorts, leggings, tops and t shirts).

    • Please practice quiet mindfulness before class to respect those who may be meditating

    Our Cleaning Protocols

    • We mop the studio floor between each class with a disinfectant solution.

    • We wash and sanitize all blankets twice monthly.

    • We deep clean and sanitize all props twice monthly.

    • We have an amazing team of studio cleaners who deep clean the entire studio once daily.

  • At Better Buzz Yoga, we believe true connection begins with presence. As a Digital Wellness Studio, we encourage you to step away from screens and into the moment. Please leave your cell phone in the reception area before class, allowing yourself the gift of uninterrupted time to breathe, move, and reconnect.

    Creating space away from digital distractions helps regulate the nervous system, quiet the mind, and strengthen the sense of community in the room. We understand that some students may have on-call responsibilities—if that’s the case, please let your instructor know so we can make thoughtful exceptions.

    Together, let’s practice being here—fully, intentionally, and in real time.

WHO WE ARE:
OUR VISION


We desire to be a beacon so that others may have the space to do the hard work of being human and to be able to show up as their most authentic selves.

BBY’s teachers, students, and the neighborhood we live in are all integral to who we are and how we exist within the larger yoga community. Walking in to a class at BBY, whether it is your first time or your 500th should be a special, welcoming, challenging and completely unpretentious experience. Our goal is to help you connect to the grit you already have inside of you and the grace that we believe we could all benefit from extending to ourselves and each other.

OUR PRINCIPLES:

CONNECTION THROUGH COMMUNITY

Our offerings are anchored to relationships first. We are a neighborhood studio that that primarily serves those in proximity to us while still asking questions about who is benefitting from our classes and who is not in the room. We seek opportunities to more directly relate back to caring for and strengthening our broader community.

We strive focus on outreach and provide ways to increase connection to local organizations, schools, nonprofits and others like-minded. While this lens is the one though which we try and look, we are imperfect and we know that there is always room to expand into growth and we welcome you to join us.

Engaging With Integrity

ENGAGING WITH INTEGRITY

We strive to act in the world with humility and integrity and are first and foremost unassuming and modest  – we strive to offer many class styles and approachable free and donation-based classes and events and are mindful in the way in which we speak in our classes and market our events with the images and graphics and language we choose to use. 

We strive to honor the cultural heritage of yoga with understanding and intention and work to ensure that we are growing in our knowledge and that this tradition is practiced with spiritual integrity, and appreciation. 

The studio as a whole, AND all offerings have a minimum 5% give-back of profits or a comparable service component.

SEEKING GROWTH THROUGH CURIOSITY

We have so much to learn every day about so many things and the process is huge, humbling and exciting. There are opportunities to be better every day and so many situations that arise that unintentionally cause both harm and that provide opportunities for repair. 

Every time we engage with a new way of understanding we are grateful for the chance to learn something new. We will take every one of these chances that we are lucky enough to have illuminated and illustrated so that we can keep working toward evolution and progress in the future.
