Deepen Your Practice

The Personal Yoga Enrichment Immersion

DEEPEN YOUR PRACTICE

We created the Personal Yoga Enrichment Path because we understand that many individuals are deeply passionate about yoga and eager to learn more, but don't necessarily have the desire to teach. This program is designed for those who want to dive deeper into the rich traditions of yoga, explore its spiritual and philosophical roots, and connect with a supportive community—without the pressure of becoming a teacher. If you've been searching for that special something to elevate your practice and enrich your life, this is the magic you've been looking for.

What You'll Learn:

  • Philosophy & Spiritual Understanding: Delve into the rich philosophical roots of yoga, gaining insights that transcend the physical practice.

More Information about our Teacher Training

As a graduate of the Dancing Dogs Yoga teacher training program (YTT) you will feel empowered and ready to teach an amazing yoga class. In this yoga teacher training, you will learn the physical aspects of yoga, including anatomy, alignment, sequencing, and asana, or posture. You will also dive deep into philosophy, history and study the energetic and spiritual implications of yoga.

Led by Shelley Carroll and other DDY Senior Teachers, this program is appropriate for practitioners of every level.  This is a physically, mentally and emotionally challenging training that is a must for anyone wanting to share the practice of yoga, as well as those who wish to deepen their own understanding of the practice.

The DDY yoga teacher training is designed to prepare you to be a confident, connected, and inspiring yoga teacher. Each session covers a different unit of study and includes asana (classes and workshops), lecture, group discussion, and small-group exercises, including mala making, cacao ceremonies, and more!

The aim of this training is to create exceptional teachers and leaders. You will graduate from this training prepared to teach, and to stand in front of a room of people and lead. At DDY, we believe that the best yoga teachers are those who connect with their students, and who speak authentically and from the heart. We aspire to inspire you to find your voice, and to share it powerfully.

DDY has a strict attendance policy and attendance is required at all Teacher Training sessions. Every group class that is missed must be made up in the studio within 14 calendar days. When possible, sessions and workshops can be made up in our online format. When those options are not available, you can book private makeup sessions. For every 1-4 hours missed you will need to schedule a one hour private, at a rate of $150. For every 4-8 hours missed, you will need to schedule a 2 hour private, at a rate of $250.  Workshops can be made up at other locations when available. We're happy to work with you on this to ensure that you can get all of the information that is missed. The maximum amount of days missed can be no more than 2 days without prior approval. We will work with you for any unforeseen circumstances, but no refunds are available in case of chronic absences.

Dancing Dogs Yoga is an accredited Yoga Alliance Teacher Training School. Students who successfully complete our training can register with Yoga Alliance as either a 200-hour or 300-hour certified teacher.
