Denver Yoga Underground

It's hard to put into words all that I received from DYU's 200 hour YTT. I moved to Denver under very difficult circumstances, and was questioning my decision until I enrolled in this program and now I firmly believe I found exactly what I needed, or perhaps it found me. DYU's no-frills, "underground" setting and curriculum was far more enriching than I expected, and there is a well-rounded balance of asana, theory, and meditation/pranayama. I couldn't have asked for better teachers Derik, Beth, Tushta, and Brenna are incredibly wise, compassionate, and dedicated to their students. I learned so much from them and only wish I had time to learn more, especially from the teachers we didn't get to spend as much time with. Additionally, the level of support and care I received took me by surprise, which is so important to me as I live with chronic illness. I found that the majority of expectations were self-imposed and that -my- yoga had to involve taking care of myself as things came up; DYU absolutely gave me the space and community to do that, and I know I have a home here for years to come.

Very well-rounded, authentic yoga teacher training program! I found out about Denver Yoga Underground through my online searches. From the beginning they provide a clear message about teaching fundamentals of yoga, in-depth principles and personal reflection. This program provided exactly that plus more. We not only delved into physical practice, but we spent a lot of time studying fundamental theory and mediative practice. I would recommend this program to anyone who is interested in yoga teacher training for their personal growth or who wants to learn more about yoga as a spiritual practice. You will receive a lot of wonderful support from Derik, Beth, Brenna and other teachers during your time. This is a program that will continue to change your life even after you graduate!

Do this yoga teacher training, if that is something you have been considering just take the plunge. DYU has incredible knowledgeable instructors with years of experience. You will learn about the ancient traditions of yoga as well as how to teach a class. Upon graduating I know I have everything I need to begin my journey teaching yoga, and I will no doubt continue to take advantage of continuing education with DYU. This program has impacted me in ways that are hard to describe (all for the better) You can definitely feel this program is built on both a love of yoga and betterment of others through skillful teaching. Thank you so much Derik, Brenna, Beth and Tushta!

My 200 hour YTT was an amazing experience guiding me into my interior life as well as directing my exterior life. Derik is grounded in tradition and teaches with the same compassion he promotes. The time I dedicated to this training will affect my daily life going forward -- I have been forever enriched by this experience.
