I recently completed Denver Yoga Underground’s 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training. I would highly recommend it to those looking for teacher training that covers much more than how to teach the asanas and those who want to do some self-discovery. Derik is a very knowledgeable, experienced, and supportive teacher. He created a comprehensive program that includes yoga philosophy, Ayurveda, and teaching, in addition to a safe environment. As a program graduate, I can now create and offer yoga lessons starting with a dharma talk, moving through a well-designed sequence, and concluding with pranayama and meditation. I am grateful for the teachings of Derik, Beth, Tushta and Linda and appreciate the amazing community I bonded with over three months.
You’re probably looking at these reviews because you want a holistic YTT program and not just a corporate, fitness-based program, and if so, I can assure you that you’ll find this at DYU. Derik and the other instructors are highly experienced and most importantly interested in yoga as a whole concept, (including Ayurveda, pranayama, yoga theory, supporting literature, etc.) and not just the asanas. I’ve been in the 200 hour YTT program at Denver Yoga Underground for the past four months & graduated just yesterday. The community with fellow trainees was an unexpected bonus of this training and I will forever cherish this experience. I’d recommend this program to anyone as I believe it’s an incredible foundation for aspiring yoga teachers.
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!
I went through the 200 hour Axis Yoga Teacher Training last spring. It was one of the best experiences of my life. It is very affordable and the schedule makes it easy to balance work and YTT. Derik and Brenna are one of a kind. They really focus on the true culture and history of Yoga. Which I was most fascinated by. If you are looking for a real teacher training program and not just mainstream Yoga teachings, please check them out. You won’t be disappointed! I love Axis and created a family/community with them.
This training has been the most rewarding experience I've had in a long time. My perception of life and yoga in general has changed and I couldn't be happier. This YTT is by far the best in Denver, I looked the curriculum in multiple Yoga Studios and this one had the best and is also more affordable than the others. Every single class blends in perfectly with the following, the extensive knowledge of all the instructors throughout the program has been extremely beneficial in my yoga path. The Ayurveda an Anatomy modules were extremely helpful and have positively impacted my life. I strongly recommend the program even if you don't plan to ever teach, I guarantee you this training will change your life for good.
