Denver Fashion Week Taps Into Wellness for Mental Health Awareness Month

As Mental Health Awareness Month unfolds, Denver’s wellness community is creating more intentional spaces to pause, reflect and reconnect. On Monday, May 4, Return to Self: Gentle Yoga, Reflection & Connection invites guests into a grounded, restorative evening designed to support both individual healing and collective connection.

Hosted at Guided By Humanity in Englewood, this two-hour experience blends somatic yoga, guided journaling and open reflection in a setting that prioritizes accessibility, presence and emotional well-being.

The event is presented by Ardent Grove (Denver Fashion Week’s official nonprofit partner) in collaboration with The Lanig Family Fund, Guided By Humanity, and Denver Fashion Week—a partnership that brings wellness, creativity, and community together.

The evening begins with a gentle, somatic-based yoga practice led by Isi Owens, a somatic therapist and 500-hour registered yoga teacher. The flow is intentionally धी and adaptive, moving between seated and standing postures that emphasize mobility, breath awareness and nervous system regulation. Rather than performance, the focus is on cultivating ease and spaciousness in the body.

Following the movement portion, participants will be guided through a journaling and reflection session designed to explore inner awareness, resilience and personal growth. The experience concludes with an opportunity for community connection, encouraging guests to share, listen and engage at their own comfort level.

Open to all experience levels, Return to Self centers inclusivity. Participants are encouraged to move, rest or observe in whatever way feels most supportive to their physical, emotional and mental needs. Caregivers and support persons are also welcome.

This donation-based event operates on a pay-what-you-can model, removing financial barriers while expanding access to wellness resources during a time when mental health support is more important than ever.
