Yoga Teacher Training - Opening Weekend
A Life-Changing 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training in Atlanta.
Deepen your practice. Find your voice. Change your life.
Yoga is more than poses—it’s a path to growth, confidence, and impact. Whether you dream of teaching or simply want to transform your personal practice, our Yoga Alliance-certified 200-Hour Training at Dancing Dogs Yoga Atlanta will challenge, inspire, and empower you.
Unlike fitness-focused studios, DDY is rooted in tradition. This is not just a vinyasa training—it’s a comprehensive journey into all eight limbs of yoga, providing a holistic education that goes far beyond the mat. You’ll explore asana, pranayama, meditation, philosophy, ethics, and self-inquiry, gaining the depth of knowledge needed to truly embody yoga, not just teach a sequence.

High Solstice: The Return of the Light
High Solstice is a sacred cannabis ritual for the winter solstice at Dancing Dogs Yoga in Atlanta: a night to gather in community, slow down, honor what the dark has taught you, and call the light back home.

Make Your Own Mala : Carry The Light
A mala is more than jewelry. It's a prayer you can hold. For centuries, these strands of 108 beads have been used to count mantras, steady the mind, and carry an intention close to the heart.
Spend a long, unhurried solstice afternoon at Dancing Dogs Yoga with Shelley Carroll and Rachel Craig, our Reiki Master and teacher, making your own.
