Just a bit about me:
My name is Derik Eselius. I founded Denver Yoga Underground back in 2003 at the request of students who wanted to take a deep dive.
Personally, I was introduced to yoga on a rogue trip to India in 1991. I learned classical practices (asana, pranayama, meditation, fasting, silence and more) and had life changing experiences. Insight number one: I had no idea is was possible to feel so good!
“I had no idea that it was possible to feel so good!”
Over the ensuing decades, I studied a great deal of asana with world renowned teachers and with a few home-grown favorites as well. Namaste Perry! I’ve also completed multiple 200 hour and 300 hour yoga teacher trainings with globally recognized instructors, including Baba Hari Dass.
The Denver Yoga Underground is a reflection of my best understanding of how to share classical yoga in contemporary society in a way that is both equitable and sustainable.
