Shelley Carroll

Shelley (she/her/hers) is a future expatriate but current ATLien. She is the founder of Dancing Dogs Yoga, the DDY Yoga School, and DDY Travels. Shelley has trained hundreds of yoga teachers world-wide and is passionate about creating teachers and leaders to share the practice of yoga.

Shelley is a Chopra Center Certified Ayurvedic Practitioner and runs DDY Travels, a yoga travel retreat company with curated yoga and wellness retreats around the globe. A self-described activist, Shelley went from a volunteer with ACLU to running the ACLU of Georgia’s Legal Observer Program, where she trained and deploys legal observers in cases of protests, civic actions, and elections.

Shelley is a kale-smoothie-drinking, goal-smashing junkie who believes in people and community. When she isn’t traveling the globe or saving democracy with the ACLU, Shelley lives in historic Reynoldstown in Atlanta, GA with her awesome dog, Holli and can often be found drinking coffee, eating pickles, and strolling the Beltline.

Favorite Yoga Pose: Supta Baddha Konanasa. All day. Every Day.

Favorite Food: Hot Sauce and pickles. Not together but each should be their own food group.
