About SwopeLight
At SwopeLight, we exist for this moment, the one we are all living in right now. A moment of unprecedented speed, disruption, and noise. But also, a moment of profound possibility.
​
We believe that the most vital skill set for thriving in today’s world isn’t more information—it’s deeper awareness. It’s not about chasing the next external fix, but learning how to navigate from within.
​
That’s where we come in.
​
SwopeLight is where ancient wisdom meets modern science, where the latest research in neuroscience and heart-brain coherence intersects with timeless practices of mindfulness, yoga, and energy awareness. We guide leaders, teams, and organizations to evolve their capacity for emotional regulation, radical resilience, and courageous self-leadership.
Because in times of chaos, the most powerful thing we can do is learn to hold our own center.
​
We know the corporate world. We’ve been in it. With 25+ years leading in fast-paced, high-pressure industries, we’ve seen firsthand what happens when stress, disconnection, and burnout become the norm. And we’ve also seen what’s possible when leaders awaken to their innate capacity for self-mastery, coherence, and conscious leadership.
​
Our work is rooted in both sides of the bridge:
-
The science of human performance, emotional regulation, and neuroplasticity.
-
The ancient practices that teach us how to still the mind, open the heart, and expand our awareness.​
​
We are forever students ourselves - of yoga, mindfulness, neuroscience, and the infinite intelligence of the human heart. And we know, now more than ever, the world doesn’t need more reactive leadership. It needs more conscious leadership, including self-leadership. The kind that inspires others to rise into the highest version of themselves.
​
This is the work of SwopeLight.

Why I'm Here
You might say I know a thing or two about resilience. My life is an illustration of the power of the human spirit; the power we all possess to endure whatever life sends our way. The power to rise above, even when the weight of staying down is heavy and familiar, even when social norms would say "but this is a good excuse to be defeated, to be a victim of life's circumstances." It's always been in me to rise up - from a trauma-filled childhood, tragic loss of loved ones, divorce, suicide and cancer. Inspiring people to believe in and pursue the highest version of their life through perseverance, grace and a deep trust in our innate power to transcend - it's why I'm here. And YOU - the one reading this now - are also, why I’m here. - Teri Swope
