Not at all. This training is open to anyone with a consistent yoga practice and a sincere desire to deepen their connection to yoga. Whether you’re looking to teach or simply explore yoga more fully, this program is a supported, accessible path.

The 200-Hour Teacher Training hosted by Vital Wisdom School of Yoga (Devon + Jeremy) is a foundational yoga education and lifestyle immersion rooted in the living traditions of Vinyasa, Tantra, Hatha Yoga, and embodied mindfulness. This training is informed by decades of collective study with master teachers and schools, including Shiva Rea’s Samudra Global School of Living Yoga, Rod Stryker’s ParaYoga, the Bihar School of Yoga, the Himalayan Institute, and the broader Krishnamacharya lineage.

Your lead teachers, Devon Sweeney and Jeremy Wolf, are both E-RYT 500 educators with extensive experience guiding students through the transformational path of yoga. They bring a rare balance of rigor, warmth, and deep respect for lineage.

Jeremy Wolf has been leading 200-hour trainings in Denver since 2010, serving as a lead teacher and program coordinator for both foundational and advanced (300-hour) programs. His yoga journey began through meditation in 1993, with formal studies starting in 1998. He received his 200-hour certification in Classical Yoga in Nasik, India, in 2006, and his 500-hour certification through ParaYoga in 2013. He is also formally trained in multiple Yoga Nidra lineages, including Bihar, Himalayan, iRest, and the Amrit Method.

Devon Sweeney has been a close student and collaborator of Shiva Rea since 2012, serving as a Lead Trainer for Samudra since 2016. She has developed and led both 200- and 300-hour trainings in Denver, and her teaching is deeply shaped by her ongoing studies in Tantra, somatics, and Ayurveda. Devon holds a degree in Comparative Religious Studies with a focus on Ritual and Eastern Traditions, and is also a certified massage therapist through the Berkana Institute of Massage.

At Sandhyā, we honor the roots of these living traditions while evolving forward through contemporary embodiment, inclusivity, and dynamic, breath-based practice. We hold deep reverence for the teachers who have carried and transmitted this knowledge, and we are committed to sharing it with integrity, clarity, and heart.

Yes. This is a Yoga Alliance–registered 200-hour teacher training, which qualifies you to register as a RYT-200 and begin teaching upon graduation.

Absolutely. Many participants join to deepen their personal practice, gain insight into the roots of yoga, and experience meaningful transformation. Teaching is just one possible expression of what this journey can unlock.

This training offers the most direct time and mentorship with Devon and Jeremy, alongside community practices with Drake, making it our most immersive 200-hour format yet. We meet across eight in-person weekends plus seven Wednesday community practices between January and May. Each weekend blends public classes with the wider Sandhyā Yoga community and private YTT sessions just for our cohort. You’ll engage in asana, meditation, sequencing, anatomy, philosophy, mentorship, and teaching labs—all in a rhythm that balances depth, integration, and community.
