DYU is a deep look into everything Yoga is and is not. This program will change the way you look at things in life for the better. I originally came to the YTT because I wanted to teach yoga, but then I learned that teaching is one very small part of yoga. Either way, I feel equipped to be a competitive teacher on the job market because of this program. I was pushed to look at the importance of being intentional when representing yoga. I am very grateful for Derik and Beth who lead this transformation.

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.

I would highly recommend this program to anybody who is interested in not only teaching yoga but also in discovering more about yoga philosophy, history and ayurveda. Derik is very knowledgeable and patient with the students and all the other presenters were also very accessible and interesting. I thank Denver Yoga Underground for this truly unique and life changing experience!

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.

Just finished my teacher training in December 2022 with DYU, so grateful with Derik and Beth for sharing their knowledge and wisdom in such a kind and compassionate way. I do really recommend this teacher training if you’re looking to dig in the theory and the practice of yoga.

I took the YTT. This is perfect if you are looking to expand your practice and teach yoga. Derik does an amazing job staying true to yoga’s heritage. He goes very in depth in the material and you get to explore much more than just the asanas. I highly recommend if you are looking for a tight yoga community, and looking to explore many aspects of your life through the lenses of yoga.

My experience was a solid and reliable practice that prepares you to teach in three months time. I was impressed with the depth of wisdom and knowledge of Hatha yoga, Pranayama, Ayurveda, and Meditation. I was hoping to find community and like minded, dedicated yogis who want ongoing support. Denver Yoga Underground, draws in the studious revolutionaries. -Lori M. Abel

I’ve been in this program for three and a half months, I love it. If you love to make new yogi friends, learn about yoga more in depth, and love getting on a yoga mat more than three times a week this is the program for you. Derik is an amazing teacher and the kindest human I have ever met!

If you are seeking for a yoga tribe or looking to practice some classical yoga, with less intense asana practice, but deeper and more mindful mental experience - it's the place. I visit this studio for almost a year now and I can tell, that I've finally found my ashram and my yoga teacher - Derik. Studio provides weekly Wednesday classes as well as number of events as well as YTT200 (RYT). If you're really into yoga - please, give it a shot. Much LOVE!

DYU offers a well-rounded yoga teacher training program that provides a solid foundation in the spiritual, philosophical, and physical dimensions of yoga. I recommend this training to anyone looking to teach and/or deepen their personal practice of yoga and overall sense of well-being. ??

Derik has worked hard to make DYU an outstanding school of yoga. His passion for the traditions and teachings of yoga shines on throughout the program. He has a structured way of organizing the program so each unit and concept builds on one another.I would highly recommend this program whether you are looking to deepen and develop your personal practice or become a teacher. There is so much knowledge and experience gained in such a short amount of time it is truly transformational. I am very grateful for finding DYU from my 200 hour YTT.
